“…They seem to argue that field experiences are generally chosen because, inter alia, the latter: a. provide opportunities for practising techniques that cannot be carried out elsewhere [learning goal = acquisition of practical/intellectual/methodological skills] (Keown, 1984;McNamara and Fowler, 1975;Riban and Koval, 1971 (Connor, 1973;Connor et al, 1975;Pashuk, 1975); d. reinforce things previously presented in the classroom [learning goal = application and consolidation of learning]; e. stimulate higher-level understanding of matters already encountered elsewhere [learning goal = deepening conceptual development] (Keown, 1984;Novak, 1976); f. stimulate, in cases where the field is a natural environment (whether physical, cultural or social), an attitude of appreciation, concern, and valuing of that environment [learning goal = appraisal and adoption of attitudes and values] (Ignatiuk, 1978;Keown, 1984;Kern and Carpenter, 1984).…”
