Course objectives
Fieldwork is a complex teaching form which implies progressive teaching methods (experiment, laboratory work, short-term and long-term observations, project method, cooperative methods, methods of experience-driven pedagogy …) and various organizational forms of teaching (outing, field practice, excursion, thematic school trips – expeditions…). This form of instruction dwells on outdoor work – namely outside the school. Movement as a teaching form in fieldwork also contributes to a healthy life style. The main aim of the fieldwork is not only a collecting of quantitative data but the important is also the ability of perception of a particular place from its qualitative site.
