Making the Most Community Resources and Field trips
Lesson 11.
"Field trips offer an excellent bridge between the work of the school and the work of the world outside."
Community Resources
are people and places in the community and Field trips offer an excellent
bridge between the work of the school and the work of the world outside. Field
trips offer an excellent bridge between the work of the school and the work of
the world outside. It is very important for the teacher to know what to before
initiating this kind of activities for the students.
Steps for planning a
field trip:
Preliminary planning by teacher Pre-planning with others going on
the trip Taking the field trip itself Post-field trip follow up activities
When a teacher follows
this guidelines, he/she will be able to know the flow of the field trip.
Setting the first point is the planning wherein the teacher conducts a meeting
with the students and set the goals and objectives of the said activity. In
this the students will know what they will anticipate and see in the upcoming
field trip. It is also very important to let the students take down some
important notes during the field trip, telling them before hand is a must.
After conducting the field trip, it recommended to have a post field follow up
activities. In this way, the learning that the students experienced in the
actual simulation during the field trip will be reviewed and learning will be
much more maintainable.
Benefits:
Film and video have
long been advocated as powerful adjuncts to classroom instruction. The
combination of moving images and multiple sound tracks offers instructional
designers a powerful medium for crafting mutually reinforcing explications of
concepts while providing learners with content that engages multiple senses.
Video has been particularly important in distance education with more than half
of all distance education programs in 1995 using some form of video content
(National Center for Education Statistics, 1999). Digital video adds
possibilities for making learning interactive and this interaction has been
powerfully leveraged for more than a decade in videodisc-based projects such as
the Jasper series that actively ‘anchored’ learners in adventures that give
rise to ‘authentic’ problem solving situations (Cognition and Technology Group
at Vanderbilt, 1997). The Internet offers significant new possibilities for
delivering video even more broadly and easily in both traditional and distance
education venues. Thus, educators at all levels have yet another opportunity to
incorporate audiovisual and interactive materials in their classrooms. Using
good videos in this way will not only turn the students' TV viewing toward
achieving productive goals, but it will also teach them to apply the
"Replacement Principle." Beyond simply removing negative viewing
habits, students are learning to replace them with positive alternatives. Just
as an appreciation for good music or literature must be developed, the skills
to select good videos must also be taught.
Reflection:
We all
know that field trip are expensive but it is very important to the students
because they need to explore their mind and it can helps the students to be in
reality and to show something beyond the classroom
