Understanding the Benefits of Residential Field Courses: The Importance of Class Learning Goal Orientation and Class Belonging

“…, 2017 ). Because they provide opportunities for students to create working communities that closely mimic professional communities, ones in which they are working with other students and faculty doing work similar to professionals, field experiences offer a unique environment for students to develop their professional identities ( Streule and Craig, 2016 ; Petcovic et al. , 2020 ).…”

“…In addition, field courses have been shown to facilitate strong connections between students and other individuals and the academic discipline (e.g., Boyle et al. 2007 ; Stokes and Boyle, 2009 ; Mogk and Goodwin, 2012 ; Streule and Craig, 2016 ; Petcovic et al. , 2020 ).…”

“…, 2020 ), and increased interest in the field course topic ( Dayton and Sala, 2001 ). During field courses, students share learning experiences with peers, faculty, and other experts, developing knowledge and skills through prolonged participation and reflection, connecting them to the wider field science community of practice ( Mogk and Goodwin, 2012 ; Streule and Craig, 2016 ; Petcovic et al. , 2020 ).…”

Using an engagement lens to model active learning in the geosciences

“…This may be an ideal example of how students can be engaged in co-constructing learning. Petcovic et al (2019) interviewed 67 geologists about how they learned to do bedrock mapping, a skill that is taught almost entirely in field camp settings. Their participants reported that working in peer groups, learning from mentors, and teaching others were influential experiences to learning to map-all of which have a component of agentic engagement and would occupy Region 8 of Figure 1.…”

Affective Learning Outcomes in the Field: A Review of the 2021 Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network Meeting

“…Stephanie Shaulskiy.-Previous literature finds many benefits to participation in field experiences (e.g., Mogk and Goodwin 2012, Streule and Craig 2016, Beltran et al 2020, Petcovic et al 2020. Thus far, the mechanisms for how these benefits develop across field experiences are still unknown.…”
