Field trip is one of the instructional materials used in attaining an instructional objective. School Field Trips are primarily self-guided, which lets teachers plan a trip that best meets the needs of their particular students. In order to make it useful and fruitful, the teacher must have a realistic objective and proper planning. This includes discussions and decisions on what to do before, during and after field trip.
The destinations
for field trips could be community resources like places of exhibits, museums,
zoos, historical and scenic spots, other members of the community like the
senior citizens, parents, and many others in which they can get information
base on their experience within their community.
