چکیده (انگلیسی):

Utilizing student-centered pedagogy, this case study explores an increasingly prominent and
instructive addition to traditional academic coursework - the field study experience. This is
particularly true in the arena of environmental education where students learn best by
experiencing environmental problems first-hand and then interacting with those involved. From a
teaching methods and styles perspective, then, this paper espouses a mix of experiential and active
learning strategies. The central message of this essay, however, is curriculum -based, to report on
an engaging two-week field trip to examine sustainable development in the Dominican Republic.
From this report, the analysis highlights student feedback mechanisms, such as formal class
journals, traditional course evaluations, and informal oral consultations with students , both
during and after the field study as the basis to offer suggestions more broadly on how to design
and implement a field study course.
