"The education you get is more important than where you get that education. You can easily find examples of people who did and didn’t go to school who went on to great success. You can equally find examples of people who did and didn’t go to school who ended up as great failures.
There is a theoretical side and a practical side to knowledge and both are valuable. The true masters of any craft or discipline understand both ends of the spectrum. They put in the hours to acquire the practical techniques while also putting in the time to understand how those techniques fit into a larger context and tradition and why they work.
Whether or not you go to school or jump directly into the workforce is a personal decision that’s based on a variety of factors. Do you need to start earning a living right away? How do you best learn? Will you be able to pick up the theory and context on your own? Do you need more time gaining the practical experience?
Only you can answer those questions and only you can determine which is the better path to start out on. However, focusing only on one side while ignoring the other will limit you in ways you may never even realize."

How effective is field work and practical in acquiring knowledge?
Think practical field works are important in acquiring knowledge as they are complementing the head knowledge we'd acquired from books & journals. This is in line with what Confucius had said (see diagram below).
In a similar note - books & journals are also important for people merely working on the field as they help to enrich / renew their mind & thoughts
I think that when people make a work with your hands, thinking all the time which is the best methodology, replicate the work, you never forget that you learn when making this. The practice ise very important, at least for engineers!!!
Fieldwork is the collection of information outside a laboratory, library or workplace setting. Relative value of books, journals and fieldwork depends on the field of study.
To provide examples, books and journals are important in mathematics where field research is important in archaeological research, Earth and atmospheric sciences, etc. Field research lies at the heart of archaeological research, and encompasses broad area surveys (including aerial surveys), more localized site surveys
It's not about patience, but the skill and knowledge you acquire over time - a cricketer's experience

The study of books and journals provide data and knowledge, but the cultive is field work. With only books we will not have crops but yes with cultivators and fishers.
Field work or experiment is an irreplaceable tool for verifying hypotheses (theories). There are valid automatically is all "existing laws" there; the ones that we already know (and are included in theory); and even those that we do not know (or we forget).

Fieldwork is very effective for acquiring the knowledge.
"To be effective fieldwork should:
- be well planned, interesting, cost effective and represent an effective use of the time available
- target specific syllabus and topic outcomes
- provide opportunities for students to develop a range of cognitive and manipulative skills
- be integrated with the subject matter to ensure that students take full advantage of enhanced understanding that is achieved through direct observation, data collection/recording and inquiry learning.
- be supported by pre-and post-excursion classroom activities that establish the context for learning and provide the necessary follow-up and reinforcement...."

Dear @Seyed, when you make a post, an answer, you must use quotations and links to the resouce you have cited. It is pure copy paste plagiarism now. Web page which was used as a source is attached.
This is my friendly advise.

Dear Dr. Ljubomir Jacić
I forgot to add the reference's link.Thanks for your notice. I add it now.
Yes, you have done the link only, but you must use quotation marks! "....." Dear @Seyed, always do it.
There is no mechanic link between theory and practice. Therefore the confrontation with the field is an essential means of constructing knowledge. A good theory is a practical one, and a sensible practice is theory based. This is true for a lot of disciplines and activities, such as architecture, engineering, psychotherapy, teaching, medicine, social work etc . Nowadays they follow the ideal of the reflective practitioner as it has been developed by Donald Schön.
Both practical and theoretical experiences go hand in hand and each has their own importance. Both theoretical knowledge and practical skills are necessary to master a field. Theoretical learning gives the guidance to the mind and mind guides our body to convert that theoretical learning into practical performance. Theoretical learning is good but not using that knowledge practically is of no use.
Hence it is very important to utilize the knowledge practically; otherwise there is no point to gain theoretical knowledge. So to have perfect learning experience one should gain both practical and theoretical knowledge.

the field is where the knowledge is applied but one should keep himself or herself updated with reading
In terms of knowledge acquisition, field work and pratical complement the classroom teaching and learning activities.
Dear all,
In my opinion, the points that dear Dennis Soku mentioned are prolific.
