Abstract

The aim of this applied research is to determine the factors that influence the prevalence of the application of field teaching, as a form of extracurricular education, in the implementation of geographical content from fifth to eighth grade, according to the opinion of 111 teachers in the Republic of Serbia, depending on their teaching experience and academic education. The theoretical basis is formed by the elements of emancipatory didactics.The results indicate that there is still an insufficient number of geography teachers willing to implement this form of work, although they are aware of the numerous advantages of fieldwork, citing: the time and effort required for organization, while teachers who use fieldwork highlighted it as the most interesting part of their teaching activities. The pedagogical implications of these findings point to the need for educational policy (number of lessons in curricula, etc.) to be dedicated to the possibility for teachers to have the conditions for this type of teaching activities in geography teaching.
