Senger, Kim; Betlem, Peter; Birchall, Thomas; Buckley, Simon J.; Coakley, Bernard; Eide, Christian H.; Flaig, Peter P.; Forien, Melanie; Galland, Olivier; Gonzaga, Luiz; Jensen, Maria; Kurz, Tobias; Lecomte, Isabelle; Mair, Karen; Malm, Rie Hjørnegaard; Mulrooney, Mark; Naumann, Nicole; Nordmo, Ivar; Nolde, Nils; Ogata, Kei; Rabbel, Ole; Schaaf, Niklas W.; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Emma L. Peasland; Graham W. Scott; Lesley J. Morrell; Dominic C. Henri – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Fieldwork provides opportunities for students to develop employability-enhancing transferable skills as well as technical, discipline-specific skills and disciplinary knowledge. However, the extent to which staff purposely plan transferable skills outcomes of field courses, and, therefore, whether they are communicated to students is unknown. We…

Glackin, Melissa; Greer, Kate – School Science Review, 2021
This article provides an up-to-date list of reasons for teachers to create a case for residential fieldwork. The list was developed as part of a project examining 'learning journeys' of inner-urban school visits to residential field centres in England. Uniquely, it draws from the perspectives of students and teachers in light of the changes to…

Tsybulsky, Dina; Oz, Atar – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2019
The current research is based on the phenomenological-qualitative paradigm. The goal was to examine the significant experiences, attitudes, and pedagogical practices of 17 Israeli student teachers in the science-teaching track regarding the use of project-based learning (PBL) as a pedagogical method, which they implemented in elementary schools…

Martin, Tim – Science Teacher, 2016
In this article, two lessons are introduced in which students examine Arctic lake sediments from Lake El'gygytgyn in Russia and discover a climate signal in a lake or pond near their own school. The lessons allow students to experience fieldwork, understand lab procedure, practice basic measurement and observation skills, and learn how to…

Waldron, John W. F.; Locock, Andrew J.; Pujadas-Botey, Anna – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2016
Many geoscience educators have noted the difficulty that students experience in transferring their classroom knowledge to the field environment. The Geoscience Garden, on the University of Alberta North Campus, provides a simulated field environment in which Earth Science students can develop field observation skills, interpret features of Earth's…

Carmody, Maurice – School Science Review, 2014
This article describes a field course in Cornwall looking at mineral processing with the focus on the chemistry involved. The course was split into two parts. The first looked at tin mining based around Penzance. This involved visiting mines, hunting for mineral samples, carrying out a stream survey and visiting the Camborne School of Mines…

Remmen, Kari Beate; Frøyland, Merethe – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2013
Our study explores how students apply geoscientific knowledge learned in the classroom to phenomena in a field setting. This was investigated by collecting video data from an ordinary high school context in Norway involving one teacher and a class of 17 high school students. We analyzed how the students learned rock identification and relative…

Goulder, Raymond; Scott, Graham W.; Scott, Lisa J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2013
It is widely held among biology teachers that fieldwork is valuable, but little is heard about students' perception of fieldwork or about the reasons for their liking or disliking fieldwork. This paper uses data from students to explore the hypotheses (1) that biology students with a positive perception of fieldwork have a less positive perception…
