Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper reports the practice of using the Mobile QQ and Oruxmaps mobile apps to assist in teaching general geology field practice and the results of evaluation experiments. A student subjective judgment questionnaire and a field test were used to obtain the experimental results. The key findings suggest that the proposed method has a significant effect in improving students’ field practice. Both the field test results and subjective judgments of the students who received the proposed teaching method were found to be better than those of the students who received the traditional teaching method. The findings also suggest that the proposed teaching method is simple and easy to use and does not require complicated work, such as software development. Mobile QQ is a real-time communication app that facilitates the exchange of information between teachers and students. Oruxmaps is a navigation app, but it can increase local geological layer information. We suggest that the use of these apps can be promoted in similar fieldwork, as their use has a clear beneficial effect, and the software is free.

利用移动设备辅助地质野外综合实践的探索与实践

摘要本文介绍了使用手机QQ和Oruxmaps手机应用程序辅助地质野外实习教学的实践和评价实验的结果。使用学生主观判断问卷和现场测试来获得实验结果。关键发现表明，所提出的方法在提高学生的现场实践方面具有显著效果。研究发现，接受拟议教学方法的学生的现场测试结果和主观判断都优于接受传统教学方法的同学。研究结果还表明，所提出的教学方法简单易用，不需要复杂的工作，如软件开发。手机QQ是一款实时通讯应用，方便师生之间的信息交流。Oruxmaps是一款导航应用程序，但它可以增加当地的地质层信息。我们建议，这些应用程序的使用可以在类似的实地调查中推广，因为它们的使用具有明显的有益效果，而且软件是免费的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Geography in Higher Education ( JGHE) was founded upon the conviction that the development of learning and teaching was vitally important to higher education. It is committed to promote, enhance and share geography learning and teaching in all institutions of higher education throughout the world, and provides a forum for geographers and others, regardless of their specialisms, to discuss common educational interests, to present the results of educational research, and to advocate new ideas.
