[The bingo activity] made the cruise more fun and productive, because it made me pursue tasks and conversations that I would not have engaged in without the bingo, and I learned a good amount of new things.
Many students are excited to join fieldwork and find it motivating and relevant for their future careers. In post-fieldwork surveys, our students at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway, typically describe their fieldwork using words such as instructive exciting, fun, interesting, good experience, cooperation. The dominant discourse among geoscience teachers is also that "fieldwork is good" for both social and academic purposes" (Malm, 2021).
However, for various reasons, not all students take advantage of all opportunities within the scope of the fieldwork. For many students, there is a wide gap between what they learn through participation in a field course and what they need to be able to do later in more independent fieldwork.
