Walsh, Cathy; Larsen, Carl; Parry, Damian – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2014
The positioning of residential fieldwork early in students' higher education is an established way of attempting to build and engage them in a community of learning. In the study reported here, the benefits of such early residential fieldwork were investigated using Krausse and Coates's seven scales of engagement. These scales consider a number of…
