Abstract: This study sought to determine the preferences, barriers, and resources that active Andalusian Physical Education teachers (Primary and Secondary) have about conducting outdoor education (OE) as well as the main limitations teachers currently encounter in performing outdoor education. Also, to analyse whether the environment, school context, and size of the school facilitate or hinder the inclusion of OE. A total of 413 teachers (age: 42.31 ± 8.62 years) joined in this research. The questionnaire 'Diagnóstico de las actividades físicas en el medio natural en el ámbito escolar' (DAFNE) was used. Our results showed significant differences in relation to primary and Secondary educational stages. Regarding public and private school, the size of the school, as well as the number of inhabitant where the school is situated, significant differences were found. School context, environment, size of the school and educational stage could have an influence to include OE in physical education sessions.
