What is "fieldwork"?

Fieldwork refers to the practical work or research conducted outside of a traditional classroom or laboratory setting, often in real-world environments. It involves collecting data, making observations, or performing tasks related to a specific subject or project, such as in anthropology, sociology, or environmental studies. Fieldwork allows individuals to gather firsthand information, conduct experiments, or interact with communities or ecosystems in their natural context. It helps bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering valuable insights that cannot always be gained from textbooks or studies in controlled settings.
