Abstract

Emerging from faculty collaboration across disciplines, the four-stage Field Immersion Framework (FIF) marries place-based experiential learning with civic engagement to promote important transformative learning outcomes such as shifts in Worldview, Self, Epistemology, Ontology, Behavior, and Capacity. To support those outcomes, we developed this adaptable pedagogical framework for immersive courses that cultivate shared inquiry by faculty and students while fostering civic agency. The FIF positions students as explorers in communities grappling with important, unresolved issues and facilitates deep learning in the affective domain. Immersing students in the field as they experience civic issues is an emancipatory opportunity for many students, particularly those bound by geography or digital screens. We detail the FIF’s grounding in learning theory and provide examples of its implementation in varied courses and geographic settings.

场浸入式框架:体验公民教育的变革教学法

从跨学科的教师合作中脱颖而出，四阶段的现场沉浸框架(FIF)将基于场所的体验式学习与公民参与结合起来，以促进重要的变革性学习成果，如世界观、自我、认识论、本体论、行为和能力的转变。为了支持这些成果，我们为沉浸式课程开发了这种适应性强的教学框架，培养教师和学生的共同探究，同时培养公民机构。FIF将学生定位为社区中的探索者，努力解决重要的、未解决的问题，并促进情感领域的深度学习。对许多学生来说，尤其是那些受地理或数字屏幕限制的学生来说，让学生在经历公民问题时沉浸在这个领域是一个解放的机会。我们详细介绍了FIF在学习理论方面的基础，并提供了在不同课程和地理环境中实施的例子。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Transformative Education (JTED) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on advancing the understanding, practice, and experience of transformative education. The journal seeks to deliver high academic quality in an engaging, thought-provoking, participative, and reflexive discourse across the spectrum of issues which transformational education encompasses. Those issues include individual experience, educational and institutional processes, formal and informal purposes and venues for such education, and cultural issues such as accessibility and social context for transformative education.
