- Summary:
-
This chapter examines, from a teacher's perspective, 10 factors that contribute to the success of a field trip. Trip facilitation and content are addressed in the following guidelines: (1) addressing the concerns of all stakeholders in a politically astute manner can eliminate barriers to a successful trip; (2) reconnaissance trips can improve knowledge of the site and facilitate the trip in terms of both logistical and curricular considerations; (3) field trips must be linked to curriculum; (4) field trips must fall somewhere between focusing activities and reflective activities, and the timing of trips is dependent on the particular course of study and on the previous experiences and abilities of the class; (5) field trips must be accessible to all students, regardless of their physical, intellectual, or financial profile; (6) field trips are successful if students are actively engaged, both mentally and physically, at the site; (7) the closer to reality an experience is, the greater the benefit derived; (8) incidental learning can be rewarding and is often an unexpected bonus, but safety must be the first priority when the unexpected occurs; (9) the human resources available at a field trip site can contribute greatly to the success of a trip, and it is worthwhile to cultivate a good rapport with these individuals; and (10) oral and written stories, fictional or nonfictional, contribute meaning to the experience and increase student engagement. Contains 20 references. (TD)
