   本课程的选课基础富有弹性，对于地理学专业的学生需要具有自然地理学、人文地理学、地理信息系统的基本知识；对于非地理专业的学生，需要有中学地理的基本知识。选课学生可以选择地理专业类课程证书和非地理专业类课程证书。

This course is divided into four basic units. First: Human Geography field information acquisition method; Second, Human Geography field information recording method; Third, Human Geography field survey map and equipment use; Fourth, Human Geography field information survey case.

The team of this course includes both professors from the Faculty of Geographical Science of Beijing Normal University and more than ten professors from several universities at home and abroad. They are Prof. Shangyi Zhou，Prof. Huasheng Zhu, Associate Prof. Qing Zhu, Associate Prof. Weili Qiu, Associate Prof. Daquan Huang, and three PhD candidates Huihui Gao, Bin Wang, Lingyao Bai, Xian Su, a graduate student from Beijing Normal University. Prof. Enyong Wang from Peking University, Prof. Dariusz Wojcik from Oxford University, Prof. Cindy Fan University of California-Los Angeles, Prof. Alexander Murphy University of Oregon, Associate Prof. Aili Liu from Capital Normal University, Associate Prof. Li Wang and Dr. Su Liu from Southwest University, Prof. Guangwen Meng from Tianjin Normal University, Prof. Fojun Wang from Xinjiang Normal University, Prof. Yijuan Ma, Associate Prof. Yuxuan Li, Associate Prof. Jinglong Chao from Taiyuan Normal College, Prof. Shizhu Jin from Yanbian University, Assistant Prof. Yuanyuan Chen from Beijing Union University. Therefore, the cases in this course cover China's major geographic units, which provide students with a rich geographical experience.

The pre-knowledge of this course is flexible. For students majoring in geography, they must have basic knowledge of physical geography, human geography, and geographic information systems. For students who are not majors in geography, they must have basic geographical knowledge learned in high school. Students can choose a certificate in geography majors and a certificate in non-geography majors.

课程的教学目标主要包括三个层次：

 一、在知识层面，需要学生掌握不同野外调查方法的基本步骤和特点；了解野外记录仪器的基本功能；了解野外记录方式的基本步骤和优点。

 二、在能力层面，需要学生在实地野外练习时，可以复制适用案例中的方法，或迁移使用案例中的方法。

 三、在情感和价值观层面，学生激发起探究人文地理学问题的热情，培养起科学精神和态度、社会责任感。

The teaching objectives of the course include three dimensions:

1. Knowledge——students need to master the basic steps and characteristics of different field methods; understand the basic functions of field recording instruments; understand the basic steps and advantages of field recording methods.

2. Abilities——when students practice in the field, they can copy the methods used in the course’s cases or transfer the methods in the other cases.

 3.Emotions and values——students may stimulate their enthusiasm to explore human geographical issues, and cultivate a scientific spirit, attitude, and social responsibility.
