本科生实地体验（UFE）是学生在大自然中学习、有时一起生活的场所，对于实地科学学科至关重要。本科生实地经验研究网络 (UFERN) 汇集了 UFE 教育工作者和研究人员，以改善和扩大实地教育的参与。结合对 UFE 和普通 STEM 教育的研究以及 UFERN 社区的专业知识，我们提出了一个模型和证据，描述了预期学生成绩、学生背景因素和项目设计因素对 UFE 学生成绩的影响。 UFERN 模型与 UFE 形式的多样性以及潜在参与其中的不同学生相关，并且它支持现场科学界考虑学生参与该领域的一系列方式。 UFERN 模型可用于指导以学生为中心的 UFE 的设计、实施和评估，并指导对跨 UFE 格式和学科结果的潜在机制的研究。
Undergraduate field experiences (UFEs), where students learn and sometimes live together in nature, are critical for the field-based science disciplines. The Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network (UFERN) brings together UFE educators and researchers to improve and broaden participation in field education. Integrating research on UFEs and general STEM education and the expertise of the UFERN community, we present a model and evidence that describes the impact of intended student outcomes, student context factors, and program design factors on UFE student outcomes. The UFERN model is relevant for a diversity of UFE formats and the diverse students potentially engaged in them, and it supports the field science community to consider a range of ways students can engage with the field. The UFERN model can be applied to guide the design, implementation, and evaluation of student-centered UFEs and to guide research on the mechanisms underlying outcomes across UFE formats and disciplines.
