INSIGHTS AND REACTION:
Field Trips connect people. People involved are students,teachers,parents,school head. Resource persons in the community are brought to the school as key informants in an interview by children or as lecturers. Opening school doors to parents,officials,and other members of the community are rich learning resources.
Although field trips are expensive but considering the intensity and the extent of concrete experiences, students and teachers were encouraged to use them. Preparation and Planning for the field trip also includes discussions and decisions on what to do before the field trip, during the field trip, and after the field trip.
Field Trip is fun and educational. Field Trips are opportunities for rich and memorable experiences which are fundamental to learning that lasts. It is not only meant for the social science subjects. It is for all other subjects as well. It can bring about a lot of realizations which may lead to changes in attitudes ani insights.
