The Changing National Context of Fieldwork in Geography.
Clark, David
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v20 n3 p385-91 Nov 1996
Examines the nature and purpose of fieldwork in geographical education. Contrasts traditional geography education (small number of students, faculty led fieldwork) with "new" education (vast increase in students coupled with a decrease in education funding). These changes are unsettling but offer opportunities for innovation. (MJP)
