FIELD TRIP STRATEGY

In today’s class third last group presented on the field trip strategy and the things that  I learnt from today’s class are as follows;;;

Field trip strategy
It was introduced in 1827 by George Shilibees for a Quarter School at Abney Pared in Slode Newington, London, United Kingdom.
Definition- It is teaching and learning strategy y where we move outside to get more and better information about a particular topic.

Features of field trip
  •   It facilitate the learning of abstract concepts
  •  It motivates students through increased interest and curiosity 
  •   It increases student-student and student-teacher social interaction
  •   Develops social awareness

Purpose of field trip
  •  It enhance the curriculum
  •   Renewal by saving from boredom and refreshing]
  •   Give students experiential learning experiences
  •   Concrete skills such as note taking
  •   Involvement in real world experience makes learning more meaningful and memorable
  •   It helps students appreciate the relevance and importance of what they learn in the class

Types of field trip
  1.     Instructional trips- it is a visit by the class or group of classes to a location outside the regular classroom
  2.    School contest of festivals- it is to provide an opportunity for student s to demonstrate knowledge and skills developed through subject area instruction
  3.   Motivation trips- it is going out with our own interest

Steps involved
Her e there are six steps involved which are as follows;
  1.     Trip selection
  2.     Logistics planning
  3.     Field trip preparation or pre-trip discussion
