This study aims to identify the level, relationship and influence between the variables of knowledge, skills and effectiveness of the implementation of field research among trainee teachers of Geography at Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). A quantitative approach with survey design as well as questionnaires was used in this study. The study sample consisted of 103 Geography trainee teachers using simple random sampling technique. Descriptive analysis (mean and percentage) and inferential analysis (Pearson correlation and linear regression) were used to answer each of the research questions that were listed. The findings showed that all three variables, namely the level of knowledge (Mean = 4.39, SP = .44), skills (Mean = 4.38, SP = .44) and effectiveness (Mean=4.36, SP = .42) were at a high level. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive relationship between knowledge and skills of field study implementation among Geography trainee teachers r = .744, p <0.01, relationship between knowledge and effectiveness r = .719, p <0.01 while the relationship between skills and effectiveness of implementation field study among Geography trainee teachers r = .761, p <0.01. In addition, linear regression analysis showed that the influence of knowledge on the effectiveness of field study implementation was 5.2 percent while the influence of skills on effectiveness was 57.9 percent with a value of R² = .631, F = 85.585, p <.005. In conclusion, this study shows that aspects of knowledge and skills are important to achieve effectiveness in conducting field studies, especially among trainee teachers of Geography at the Sultan Idris Education University. The result of this study can be used by the university, future trainee teachers and also the school in further improving the implementation of Geography field studies, especially in the field of higher education such as the Institute of Higher Education.
