When evaluating a program aiming to investigate the relationship between types of outdoor activities and children's academic performance, here are five indicators that can be used:
1. Time spent in outdoor activities: Measure the amount of time children spend engaging in outdoor activities. This can be assessed through indicators such as the number of hours per week dedicated to outdoor activities, participation in organized sports, or engaging in unstructured outdoor play.
2. Physical fitness: Assess the children's physical fitness levels. This can be measured through indicators such as cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, agility, or flexibility. Physical fitness indicators can reflect the positive impact of outdoor activities on overall well-being, cognitive function, and academic performance.
3. Cognitive skills: Evaluate the children's cognitive skills and abilities. This can include indicators such as attention span, problem-solving skills, memory, and critical thinking. Outdoor activities that engage cognitive skills, such as nature exploration or outdoor science experiments, may positively influence academic performance.
4. Social development: Measure the children's social development through outdoor activities. This can be evaluated through indicators such as teamwork, cooperation, communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. Outdoor activities that involve group dynamics or collaborative play can contribute to social skills that may indirectly impact academic performance.
5. Creativity and imagination: Assess the children's creativity and imagination stimulated by outdoor activities. This can be measured through indicators such as engagement in imaginative play, artistic expression inspired by nature, or storytelling related to outdoor experiences. These indicators can reflect the positive impact of outdoor activities on creative thinking, problem-solving, and academic performance in subjects such as art, writing, or science.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
