For this reason, a field study trip was organized to Western Anatolia. A survey, which was consisted of open-ended questions, was prepared by experts and it was conducted on students before and after the study. The survey revealed that 32.2% of the expectations were related to physical geography, 23.1% to human geography and 44.7% to economic geography. The accumulated data were analyzed using descriptive analysis technique. In conclusion, expectations of students were substantially satisfied after field study. After the fieldwork experience, 67.8% of student expectations were fully met, 7.1% of them were partially met, while 25.1% of their expectations were not fulfilled. It was also established that the rate of fulfilled expectations related to economic and human geography was higher than those related to physical geography.
