地球科学实地考察的性质使其适合于社会学习理论的应用，原因有三个。首先，它们提供了有意义的实践经验的机会，并促进了有效的学习提供了没有其他教育工具的主题。第二，他们是学生创造一个强大的，但不断变化的身份感，从学生，地球科学的学生，实践专业地球科学家不可或缺。第三，他们帮助学生在实地考察中发展和建立自己的实践社区，类似于他们可能会在未来做出贡献的专业实践社区。此外，实地考察鼓励学生积极参与并在更广泛的学科地质实践社区内启动轨迹。实践社区的建设和有效性很重要，因为地球科学作为一门综合性学科的性质决定了它必须依赖这种社区。因此，实地考察项目的设计者应该意识到这种社会学习理论，并确保在实践社区中工作是他们设计的活动的组成部分。在这样做的过程中，我们将生产的主题，将服务于行业和学术界的要求，除了其他研究生的职业生涯的毕业生。最成功地参加实地考察的学生的特点是独立学习和提高自我效能。
ABSTRACT The nature of field trips in geoscience lends them to the application of social learning theories for three key reasons. First, they provide opportunity for meaningful practical experience and promote effective learning afforded by no other educational vehicle in the subject. Second, they are integral for students creating a strong but changing sense of identity from student, to geoscience student, to practicing professional geoscientist. Third, they help students to develop and build their own communities of practice within the field trips akin to the professional communities of practice they may be expected to contribute to, and pursue inbound trajectories into, in the future. Furthermore field trips encourage students to actively engage and initiate trajectories within the wider disciplinary geological community of practice. The building and effectiveness of communities of practice are important because the nature of geoscience as an integrative subject lends itself to relying on such communities. Therefore, the designers of field-trip programs should be aware of this social learning theory and ensure that working within communities of practice is integral to the activities they design. In so doing, we will produce graduates in the subject that will serve the requirements of industry and academia alike, in addition to other graduate careers. Students that most successfully participate in field trips are characterized by independence in their learning and increasing self-efficacy.
