Fieldwork as teaching method- a field study using GPS Andreas Ulovec Faculty of Mathematics University of Vienna

What is Fieldwork? Work of students outside the classroom Can vary in length – part of or full lesson, half day, or longer May or may not include teacher E.g. live collection of data, observation, experiment, street survey … Not frequently used

Literature: Advantages/Disadvantages AdvantagesDisadvantages Action-orientedDifficult with large # of students Reality-relatedOrganisational effort Physical activitiesRisk of injury Self-responsible learningAssessment is difficult New method for most studentsStudents are not used to it Several cognitive learning levelsHard for students to concentrate Often interdisciplinaryHard to place in curriculum

Case study 1: Description Using DK material “GPS – geometry in the landscape”, localized version, in German Two parts: 1. Measure a rectangular grass field in nature (walk the edges of the field and record the path, then use software to calculate path length) 2. Create a geometric figure with GPS (think about ways of creating an equilateral triangle in nature, using only GPS, then try it out, record the path, and compare with ideal triangle)

Case study 2: Participants and teaching units 13 classes, 223 students, 35 teachers Teaching units: 1. Instructions about GPS and transferring data to PC (using AT materials “GeoCaching” and “Aviation”): 2x50 minutes 2. Field work part 1: 1x50 minutes 3. Field work part 2: 1x100 minutes

Case study 3: Outcomes of teaching units, part 1

Case study 4: Outcomes of teaching units, part 2

Case study 5: Questionnaires DynaMAT questionnaires (scale 1 – 4): 1. Was the teaching material adequate? 2. Did you know/learn all the technologies needed? 3. Did the lesson change your attitude positively? 4. (students) Did the lesson increase motivation? 5./6. What did you like the most/least about materials Additional questions for teachers + students 7./8. What did you like the most/least about fieldwork Additional questions for teachers only: 9./10. Three biggest (dis-)advantages of fieldwork

Case study 6: Quantitative results Scale: 4 (very much) – 1 (not at all) Teachers (n = 35)Students (n = 207) Q Q Q Q

Case study 7: Qualitative results Q5Using GPS, practical example, real life Q6Too technology-centered Q7To work outside, not boring Q8Too much work for a math lesson Q9Real life (51%), motivating (37%), physical exercise (23%) Q10time constraints (66%), discipline (37%), organization (29%)

Conclusions Materials: very well accepted Fieldwork: Students liked it very much Fieldwork: Teachers gave ambiguous answers (Dis-)Advantages mentioned in literature only partially confirmed (but these are mainly from primary school level) More materials and studies needed at secondary school level

3 years of work – they were worth it! Thank you for your attention!
