A better understanding of the role, work contexts and professional competencies of the outdoor pursuit supervisor : A PRISMA-ScR systematic scoping review for an evolving field
En juillet 2022, Nicholas Bergeron, directeur de programme au Réseau plein air Québec, a pris part à la 9e édition de l’International Outdoor Education Research Conference se déroulant à Ambleside au Royaume-Uni. Il y a présenté la démarche et les résultats préliminaires d’une étude menée en collaboration avec l’Université du Québec à Montréal dans le cadre de l’élaboration du Programme national pour l’encadrement des activités de plein air. Cette étude consiste en une analyse de la littérature scientifique et des programmes de formation et de certification nationaux et internationaux.

Résumé
The Quebec Ministry of Education and the Réseau plein air Québec in Canada have started a research work to create a provincial professional competency framework for outdoor pursuit leaders (OPL) to be implemented in the next few years. To start such process, a need for a better understanding of the OPL role, professional competencies and working context and a strong competency model that fits with the cultural and social context of the Quebec Province, is needed. To do so, a systematic scoping review was conducted to establish the foundation of the future framework based on references available. Furthermore, it appears to the authors that such type of research could generate outcomes that may help to provide a better overall understanding by the research community of the OPL role. The systematic scoping review was framed through the PRISMA-ScR flow chart model (Tricco et al., 2018) to extract and analyze items from the identified references.
This paper presents key findings in the literature from this systematic scoping review started in 2020, with more than 2000 records and references analyzed mainly from 6 databases (Scopus, Eric, SportDiscus, ProQuest Dissertation & thesis, Erudit and Education Source). The study presents mixed results with qualitative data extracted and analyzed. Both qualitative and quantitative results lead to a better understanding of the scope of the literature on this topic and a proposition for a new professional competencies model for the OPL in Quebec.
