电影《霍比特人》中，巫师甘道夫在劝说霍比特人比尔博同自己一道踏上冒险旅程时，慷慨激昂道：“真正的世界不在你的书中或地图上。它在门外。”走出校园，进入陌生的环境，主动与当地居民交流，也是感受世界之大的一种方式。今年三至五月，福州西湖国际学校MYP学子陆续来到将乐天籁蛟湖国际研学基地，开展了与地方紧密结合的研学活动。

In the movie The Hobbit, the wizard Gandalf, while persuading Bilbo Baggins to join him on the adventure, impassionedly says, “The world is not in your books and maps. It's out there.” Getting off campus, entering unfamiliar environments, and taking the initiative to interact with local residents is also a way to get a feel for the reality of the world. From March to May this year, MYP students from Fuzhou Lakeside International School came one after another to the Jiao-Hu Skylark Field Studies Center in Jiangle, where they carried out field studies that were closely integrated with the local area.

此次研学，FLIS深度结合将乐当地丰富的人文自然资源与MYP学术课程，希望能借此令来自城市的学子与大自然建立联系。天籁蛟湖国际研学基地的绝佳环境为调研提供了便利：农田、公园、村落、湖泊、水力发电站等均坐落于基地四周，方便学子探究水资源、环境科学、电力与乡村能源等主题。于是我们看到MYP学子奔走于乡野社群之中，研究人与自然的相互作用力如何影响水质；在与村民交流的过程中，学子也发现当地使用能源的方式与城市不同，比如，午饭时分总能看到窗口升起的炊烟、不少人家门前堆放着成捆的柴火……这类探究活动要求学子调动自己在科学、个人与社会等课程中学习的技能，在考量当地需求的同时倡导改善环境质量，此外，学子使用外语讨论问题的能力也得到了锻炼。

FLIS combines the rich natural resources of Jiangle with the MYP academic curriculum, hoping to connect students from the city with nature. The perfect environment of the Jiao-Hu Skylark Field Studies Center provides a convenient place for research: rice fields, parks, villages, lakes, and hydroelectric power stations are located around the Center, making it easy for students to explore topics such as water resources, environmental sciences, electricity, and rural energy. So we see MYP students walking around the countryside to study how the interaction between humans and nature affects the quality of water; in the process of communicating with villagers, students also found that the local way of using energy is different from that of the city, for example, one can always see smoke rising from the windows at lunchtime, and many villagers have bundles of firewood piled up in front of their homes… This kind of research requires students to mobilize their skills learned in science, individual, and social classes to advocate for improving the quality of the environment while taking into account local needs, in addition, students' ability to use English to discuss topics is also practiced.

将乐不仅坐拥好山好水，其深厚的文化底蕴亦值得挖掘。将乐大南坑陶瓷烧制技艺名列福建省非物质文化遗产名录，此次研学，MYP学子有幸体验了手工拉坯、釉下彩等流程；擂茶乃地方传统名点，也是将乐最普遍、最隆重的待客礼节，其制作工艺同为省级非物质文化遗产，学子们不失时机在老师的指导下擂制了人生中第一杯擂茶，大饱口福！

Jiangle is not only blessed with beautiful mountains and water, but also has a deep cultural heritage that is worth exploring. The pottery firing technique in Dannankeng of Jiangle is listed in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Fujian Province, and MYP students had the honor of experiencing the processes of wheel throwing and underglaze coloring; the Lei Tea is a local traditional specialty, which is also the most common and grand hospitality in Jiangle, and the production process is a provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage. The students take chances to make the first Lei Tea in their lives under the guidance of the teacher, what a treat!

我们期待学子可以将所学所得带回课堂，运用于日常学习的各个个案研究之中，不仅如此，教师也可以用研学的经历反哺教学。不止一位教师在回顾此次经历时提到，在研学基地，学子无法便捷地使用各种电子设备，但事实证明，他们完全可以找到其他方式自娱自乐，且许多简单的益智游戏反而拉近了师生之间的距离。Grace老师则发现，学习需要有一定的好奇心，这会更好地激发一个人的学习热情。或许，在此次研学中，陌生的环境便充当了“刺激源”，而在教学中，教师也可以考虑如何激发学子的好奇心。

We expect that students will take what they learn back to the classroom and apply it to their daily learning in case studies, while teachers can also use the experience of the study in their teaching. More than one teacher mentioned that the lack of devices was a concern among students before the trip. However, they seemed to acclimate to it quite well… It turned out that they could find other ways to entertain themselves, and many of the simple games are a great way to bring people together (teachers and students). Ms. Grace found that learning requires a certain degree of curiosity, which will better motivate a person to learn. Perhaps the unfamiliar environment served as a source of stimulation in this time's field studies, and teachers can consider how to stimulate students' curiosity in their teaching.

MYP外方主管Callum先生表示，国际生有时生活在一个“泡泡”环境中，和当下所在地及自己的文化联系不够紧密；FLIS IB(MYP)致力于培养具有全球意识、关心环境、关心全球社会，与世界各地能够建立联系的全球公民；研学的经历能够让学子真切感受到世界之大，并不局限于自己所生活的那个小“泡泡”。本次研学已圆满落幕，希望大家都能有所思、有所得，我们下次研学再见！

Mr. Callum, the Head of FLIS MYP Department, said that international students can exist in a “bubble” environment and are not closely connected to their host country culture and their own culture; FLIS IB(MYP) is committed to fostering global citizens who are globally minded, care about the environment, care about the global community, and have connections with multiple different places around the world; the field studies experience allows students to truly understand that the world is not limited to the small “bubble” they live in. Since the field studies have come to a successful end, we hope everyone can think and gain something, we will see you next time!
