In this study, the place and importance of the field trip method situation and importance in the education of the social science teacher candidates was investigated. For that purpose, a questionnaire was applied to the students and data was analysed by means of SPSS 16 statistical program. According to the results in the research, the field trip method is identified as a factor that facilitates the comprehension of geography topics in social sciences teacher candidates’ education. Moreover, this method has enhanced the student success about the geographical subjects in social sciences education. It has been made firm that this method has an important role about it.
Learning in the Field: An Experience for Teachers and Students Alike
Geographical fieldwork is an essential part of our subject. Few readers will argue with that statement. However, when we look deep within ourselves, and acknowledge the ever increasing pressure under which many of us are working, do we ever question the costs of such activities on our personal and professional lives? It may seem almost heretical to ask this question, but I believe that if we do not, we may never understand the real reasons why, despite brave rhetoric, the practice of field study in geography is frequently less inspiring.
Locality‐based studies and the enterprise initiative
Abstract Experience in teaching a locality‐based studies course for the introduction of ‘enterprise’ elements into the geography curriculum at the University of Birmingham is reported and evaluated. Locality‐based studies courses provide a flexible base for devising and integrating a wide variety of student‐centred learning opportunities, including self‐directed field excursions, group project work, and employer partnerships.
