摘要

摘要岩石花园是根特大学新开发的校内野外技能培训资源,旨在提高地质野外技能培训的可及性,并为学生提供更多接受此类培训的机会。培养特定的野外技能是地质科学教育不可或缺的一部分,通常集中在全天或更长时间的野外课程中。这些野外课程具有特殊的教育价值,因为它们汇集了课堂理论和实验室实践学习的多个方面。然而,野外课程费用高昂、时间密集,而且会对接受地球科学教育造成物质、经济和文化方面的障碍。此外,在一个学位课程中,野外课程的频率相对较低,这意味着关键技能会被长期闲置,学生会对应用这些技能失去信心。鉴于 COVID-19 大流行,野外技能培训的可及性变得更加突出,为了解决这一问题,我们建造了岩石花园:一个人工地质制图培训区,模拟比利时真实世界的制图活动。我们已将岩石花园纳入地质制图培训课程,并利用它部分缓解了 COVID-19 旅行限制带来的不利因素。在实际地质测绘工作之前,使用岩石花园作为复习练习,增强了学生对野外技能的信心,因 COVID-19 大流行而中断学业的学生所完成的作品质量与大流行前的学生相似。开发以校园为基础的资源使野外培训可以在当地进行,让学生有更多机会练习野外技能,从而对自己的能力更有信心。

The Rock Garden: a preliminary assessment of how campus-based field skills training impacts student confidence in real-world fieldwork
Abstract. The Rock Garden is a new on-campus field skills training resource at Ghent University that was developed to increase the accessibility of geological field skills training and to provide students with more opportunities for such training. Developing specific field skills is integral to geoscience education and is typically concentrated into whole-day or longer field courses. These field courses have exceptional educational value, as they draw together multiple strands of classroom theory and practical laboratory learning. However, field courses are expensive and time-intensive to run, and they can present physical, financial, and cultural barriers to accessing geoscience education. Moreover, the relative infrequency of field courses over a degree programme means that key skills go unused for long intervals and that students can lose confidence in their application of these skills. To tackle the inaccessibility of field skills training, made more pronounced in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we built the Rock Garden: an artificial geological mapping training area that emulates a real-world mapping exercise in Belgium. We have integrated the Rock Garden into our geological mapping training courses and have used it to partially mitigate the disadvantages related to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Using the Rock Garden as a refresher exercise before a real-world geological mapping exercise increased students' confidence in their field skills, and students whose education was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic produced work of a similar quality to students from pre-pandemic cohorts. Developing a campus-based resource makes field training locally accessible, giving students more opportunities to practise their field skills and, consequently, more confidence in their abilities.
