Applied geology; in particular; requires high qualifications and practical experience; and field training geological practices play a key role in the formation of not only theoretical knowledge of students but also of their practical skills. Educational geological practices permit students of the Faculty of Geology and Survey; North-Eastern Federal University; to master basic methods in field geological research; including the analysis of rock formations; the identification of geological boundaries; and the recognizing of relief-faults.This article provides an overview of the structure and specifics of field training geological practices; involving multiple stages from preparatory to fieldwork period. The article considers not only essence and significance of field research in terms of formation practical geological skills but also analyze the key aspects that make these practices an integral part of the education of future geologists.","PeriodicalId":510073,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik of North-Eastern Federal University Series \"Earth Sciences\"","volume":"41 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
