2 Local Culture and Place-Based Education 当地文化与地方本位教育
Both the study of local culture and place-based education focus on a physical place and interactive learning. 就当地文化的学习和地方本位教育而言，两者都重视实实在在的空间地点和互动性学习 For folklorists, the study of local culture, or “local learning,” emphasizes the traditional knowledge and processes of learning that are grounded in community life. 对于民俗研究者而言，当地文化的学习，又称区域学习，重视传统知识以及学习过程，而两者均植根于社区生活

3 Local Learning 区域学习 “Local learning” emphasizes direct connection to the community: Studying local culture restores community-school connections and creates authentic learning experiences for students. 区域学习重视与社区的直接联系：当地文化的学习有助于重建社区-学校的联系，并为学生创造真正的学习经历 For folklorists, studying local culture focuses on interviewing community members, documenting their work and environments, and thus capturing meaningful knowledge. When teachers and students study their local place, they appreciate and possess their own culture. 对于民俗研究者而言，当地文化的学习包括采访社区成员，记录他们的工作和生活环境，并从中获取知识。当老师和学生对一个对象进行区域学习的时候，他们的欣赏和掌握的重点是不同的

4 Place-Based Education 地方本位教育
‘‘Place-based education” is learning that is rooted in what is local—the unique history, environment, culture, economy, literature, and art of a particular place. The community provides the context for learning, student work focuses on community needs and interests, and community members serve as resources and partners in teaching and learning. (Rural School and Community Trust, 2003) 地方本文教育植根于当地特色——独一无二的历史，环境，文化，经济，文学，还有艺术。社区为我们提供了学习的大背景，同学们的工作主要集中在社区的需求和利益诉求，社区成员则是我们教学的资源和搭档

Place-based education, with its emphasis on hands-on learning, is often employed in charter schools and classes focused on environmental studies. 同学们在采摘莴苣 Students Picking Lettuce

6 Ruth Olson interviewing Ojibwe woodland flutemaker Frank Montano on the shore of Lake Superior. Local learning often uses interviewing and documentation to learn in depth how traditional ways of knowing reflect community and place.

7 Students learn a traditional Oneida dance at a Folk Arts In the Schools artist residency. Participatory learning is part of local learning.

8 The Future in Local Culture: Mobile Learning

9 Mobile technology makes it even more enticing for students to study local culture.
