“…The connections with Earth component are grounded in previous environmental psychology work on "sense of place" (van der Hoeven Kraft et al, 2011), a term originating from human geography that describes a person's connections with a place through their attachment to it and meanings they see within it (e.g., Tuan, 1977;Brandenburg and Carroll, 1995;Williams and Stewart, 1998;Semken and Butler Freeman, 2008). Our perceptions of places are built upon past experiences and evolve through new interactions, which are sometimes shared with others (e.g., Tuan, 1977;Gustafson, 2001;Massey, 2005;Chen et al, 2014).…”

Field work is an integral component of undergraduate geoscience education. Field areas for these crucial experiences are carefully selected, but how do these places affect our students? This study compares the field experience of students participating in two distinct modules of a study abroad field camp in New Zealand, through sense of place and perceptions of learning. The situated module was geological mapping based in a single site, whereas the roadside module was based on smaller exercises in multiple discrete sites. Survey findings indicate that students became significantly more attached to the situated field area, but had no significant change in their attachment to the roadside field area. Field observations and interview findings suggest that this may be due to student autonomy, the immersive landscape, and strong alignment of student perceptions of learning with instructor intentions on the situated field module. In contrast, the roadside module was more determined by the instructor, and student perceptions of learning did not align well with instructor intent in conveying a sense of the regional geologic history. We assimilate our field observations and student and instructor interview data into a schematic model of the two field trip styles. This model is then used to visualize an improved pedagogy to foster greater engagement with the landscape and geology in the roadside trip. We recommend that roadside field trips have explicit assessments that connect the field sites together. Our interview data suggest that this connection would be further enhanced with greater opportunities for student ownership of in-field decision making through student-centered learning, encouragement of a sense of exploration, and development of a student and instructor field learning community.

“…Various studies suggest applying the sense of place concept in resource management and interpretation (Appleyard, 1979;Roggenbuck, Williams & Bobonski, 1992;Brandenburg & Carroll, 1995;Masberg, 1996;William & Stewart, 1998;Galliano & Loeffler, 1999).…”

The Northeastern Recreation Research Symposium seeks to foster quality information exchange between recreation, tourism.and.resource managers and researchers throughout the Northeast.The forum provides opportunities for recreation and tourism research managers from different agencies, state, and government levels, as well as those in the private sector to discuss current issues, problems, and research applications in the field. Students and all those interested in continuing education in recreation and tourism management are particularly welcome.

Abstract: Barriers to research use are common to most scientific disciplines and areas of investigation. This paper addresses three interrelated issues to enhancing the effectiveness of science to aid decision making specifically to outdoor recreation, leisure and tourism: (l) clearly defining and framing research problems, (2) enhancing the flow of research findings to those who need them, and (3) enhancing education and training of researchers and practitioners. Suggestions are offered to help deal with these and related barriers. Proceedings of the 2001 Northeastern Recreation Research Symposium GlynBissix

“…While these differing aspects of relationships to places are widely recognized, individual studies investigating place phenomena differ in their focus on place attachments (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2006;Kaltenborn & Williams, 2002;Kyle, Graefe, & Manning, 2005;Warzecha & Lime, 2001;Williams & Vaske, 2003) versus place meanings (Brandenburg & Carroll, 1995;Brooks, Wallace, & Williams, 2006;Davenport & Anderson, 2005;Fishwick & Vining, 1992;McAvoy, 2002;Patterson, Williams, & Schrel, 1998;Riese & Vorkinn, 2002;Stewart, Liebert, & Larken, 2004). Studies that focus principally on measuring the strength of attachments and bonds of various sorts typically employ quantitative scales.…”
