Considerably longer versions of what we ended up being able to publish in our vignettes are available on my blog: “Fieldwork bingo cards” (Daae […]

Structuring local, inquiry-based field work (Praskievicz, 2022)

mglessmer — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 10:20:20 +0000

I am catching up on my reading for the iEarth Journal Club! This month is very much in line with what my recent thinking on place-based learning, active lunch breaks to connect disciplinary content to everyday experience and also to reconnect with the fun of it, and our forthcoming vignette in a Teaching Fieldwork book, in […]

Structuring fieldwork as a jigsaw to increase student responsibility in, and ownership of, their projects

mglessmer — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 13:31:31 +0000

I am a huge fan of Kjersti‘s excellent teaching, it is always so inspiring! She, together with Hans-Christian, developed a jigsaw method to structure preparation for a student cruise, the cruise itself, and then writing of cruise reports.

Published now: “Activity bingo: Nudging students to make the most out of fieldwork”

mglessmer — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 08:54:40 +0000

Kjersti and I, together with Linda and Francesco, just published an article in Oceanography on the fieldwork bingo we developed for the student cruises earlier this year (and that came quite a long way from our first version as a postcard!). I am currently very much on the bingo-as-a-tool-to-nudge-people-to-do-stuff trip (see also my “Universal Design […]

This summer I had a fun little side project: I was co-supervising a Bachelor thesis in geography at Kiel University! Janina Dreeßen, with Katja Kuhwald as her main supervisor, did an excellent job, and I am presenting her work at the #FieldWorkFix conference today. If you can’t join later, here are my slides and what […]

Teaching field courses in a virtual setting

mglessmer — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 17:12:45 +0000

For many people it has been (and still is!) a huge hassle to quickly figure out ways to teach field courses in a covid-19 world, and I can relate so much! But I’m also getting more and more excited about the possibilities that are opening up when we think about fieldwork in a new way. […]

If you would rather listen to my poster’s […]
