| Abstract: | The Field Studies Program is an undergraduate, interdisciplinary experience in field-related education on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Begun in 1971, the program has survived repeated examination and shows every sign of becoming a fixture on the campus. Located at a major center of graduate education, the program has had to take itself very seriously as an intellectual endeavor. Self-study has generated a model of field-related education based on doing, thinking, and communicating that leads toward increased competency and consciousness. Within the program competence is seen as the ability to act intelligently and effectively—to act and to employ knowledge. Consciousness is seen as self-awareness and the ability to generate knowledge from action—to learn from experience. The article elaborates on this model and reports students' responses to participation in the program. |
