Abstract
Fieldwork is central to the GEES disciplines and is widely recognised as being key to the development of subject knowledge and skills. This paper focuses on the acquisition of study skills and the additional dimension that fieldwork contributes to the overall student learning experience. We define a study skill as a learned or inherent ability that assists in the gaining of knowledge. Using this definition our research indicates that fieldwork significantly influences the development of students' study skills and builds confidence in their subject and personal abilities.
