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.
Learning outcomes
-Search, analyze and interpret information for a given location for their didactic transformation; -Evaluate the site / location with respect to the security risks associated with the learning path; - To conclude and implement individual learning tasks for pupils based on active learning of landscape and nature (observation, work with different learning aids, landscape orientation, panoramic layout, GPS location, ...); -Set a set of learning tasks and activities in the form of short-term and long-term field lessons and then implement the lessons; - Adopt appropriate ways of evaluating terrain education at the level of knowledge, skills and attitudes; -To use a regional principle in teaching, ie to select examples of curriculum that relate to specific situations and places that are understandable to pupils especially for their use in practical life; -To cooperate in teaching. -Select different activities that can not be learned only in the school environment, they can identify them within the school year and place them appropriately in the school education program. - To conclude, implement and reflect the professionally correct, age-appropriate forms of field education, which has a large interdisciplinary overlap and leads not only to the practice of knowledge, but also to skills and attitudes.
