(i).Pre-field work:
Teachers/Supervisors
Students
a)     Determining the process of fieldwork.
a)     Be aware of the purpose 
b)    Revised essential pre-require knowledge & skills.
b)    Develop pre-requires knowledge & skills.
c)     Follow all official requirements.
c)     Practice data collection techniques.
d)    Inform students & parents for purpose, cost & arrangement etc.
d)    Know group & personal responsibility.
e)     Arrangement of transport & booking.

g)    Complete a list of students name & emergency contact number.

(ii).Field work:
Teachers/Supervisors
Students
a)     General supervision.
a)     Make direct observation, for example – identifying, describing, constructing etc.
b)    Provide assistant where require.
b)    Collection & record data.
c)     Encourage students to be analytical by raising questions, such as – Why? , How?
c)     Used specific field techniques, for example – mapping, drawing.

d)    Make initial analysis & interpretation. 
(iii).Post field work:
Teachers/Supervisors
Students
