Abstract: Field study improves students' capacity for studying and thinking about their surrounding environments. It also develops further interest academic study by allowing them to learn curriculum related materials from actual experience. Moreover, students acquire the capacity for independent and self-regulated learning in the course of making efforts to solve problems they face in the environment. Our efforts are directed at designing and developing a RFID-based support system – based on the constructionist's learning theory - to help students perform field study more efficiently. The field study support system can be implemented not only in museums but also in botanical gardens, zoos, art galleries, and science centers. Based on the results of the verification at the sample museum we will expand the target locations to implement the field trip support system. We expect that our field study support system will be a catalyst for improving learning in the fields.
