A sphere bundle map

I think this may all be classical bundle-theory. But I'm trying to read some old papers on classifications of bundles and the following came up as questions I couldn't immediately answer:

Consider the group homomorphism $\theta:\pi_{n-1}(SO(n)) \to H^n(S^n) $ given by sending an element $\alpha$ in $\pi_{n-1}(SO(n))$ to the Euler class of the $n$ - plane bundle classified by $\alpha$.

Is there a name for this map?

If we let $n=4$, we have $\theta :\pi_{3}(SO(4))=Z^2 \to H^4(S^4)=Z$. What is this map explicitely?

Now look at the bundle $SO(n) \to SO(n+1) \to S^n$. If we take $id_n \in \pi_{n}S^n$ to be the (class of the) identity map and $\partial(id_n)$ its image in $\pi_{n-1}SO(n)$ (from the homotopy LES of a fibration), then...

...what is $\theta (\partial(id_n))?$

Does it just map to a generator of $H^n(S^n)?$
