The aim of this research is to verify the effect of outdoor teaching experiences on workplace restorativeness, workplace affective qualities and global wellbeing on school teachers. To this end, a comparison between school teachers working only indoor and school teachers working also outdoor was run. The sample includes about one hundred preschool and elementary school teachers (data collection is still in progress) working in different Italian regions. Participants have to fill in an online questionnaire including the Satisfaction with Life Scale - SWLS (Diener et al, 1985), the Need for Recovery - NFR (Van Veldhoven & Meijman, 1994), the Perceived Restorativeness Scale - PRS-11 (Hartig et al, 1991), the Affective Qualities of Place Scale (Perugini, Bonnes, Aiello, & Ercolani, 2002), and the Revised School Level Environment Questionnaire (Matteucci, Guglielmi, & Lauermann, 2017). The results will be discussed in the light of the literature on restorativeness and connectedness to nature, with specific reference to the school environment. Limitations and future developments will be addressed.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to verify the effect of outdoor teaching experiences on workplace restorativeness, workplace affective qualities and global wellbeing on school teachers. To this end, a comparison between school teachers working only indoor and school teachers working also outdoor was run. The sample includes about one hundred preschool and elementary school teachers (data collection is still in progress) working in different Italian regions. Participants have to fill in an online questionnaire including the Satisfaction with Life Scale - SWLS (Diener et al, 1985), the Need for Recovery - NFR (Van Veldhoven & Meijman, 1994), the Perceived Restorativeness Scale - PRS-11 (Hartig et al, 1991), the Affective Qualities of Place Scale (Perugini, Bonnes, Aiello, & Ercolani, 2002), and the Revised School Level Environment Questionnaire (Matteucci, Guglielmi, & Lauermann, 2017). The results will be discussed in the light of the literature on restorativeness and connectedness to nature, with specific reference to the school environment. Limitations and future developments will be addressed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
