Fieldwork

When I take students outside the classroom, there is genuine excitement because the world becomes their learning platform! In my mind, fieldwork succeeds when it allows students to apply conceptual learning in a real-world context. It can also challenge and engage all learners to think critically about issues beyond a Google click, while offering practical lessons on  authentic collaboration. In a recent unit regarding global interactions, students examined different borders in our local community. I asked them, "What types of borders existed or continue to exist on the Korean peninsula? How do these borders impact the people living here historically or currently?" This unit offered students a sense of place; practicing the practical skills involved in observational and interview research.
