2. Planning a Field trip
1.Preliminary planning by the teacher

3. For preliminary planning by the teacher,
Brown (1969) proposes the following :
• Make preliminary contacts, a tour on final arrangements with the place
to be visited.
• Make final arrangements with the school principal about the details of
the trip: tike schedule, transportation, arrangements, finances, and
permission slip from parents.
• Make a tentative route plan, subject to later alteration based on class
planning and objectives.
• Try to work out mutually satisfactory arrangement with other teachers
if the trip will conflict with their classes.
• Prepare preliminary list of question or other materials. Which will be
helpful in planning in planning with the students.
• Preplanning the students joining the trip.
• Discuss the objectives of the trip and write them down. The main
objective should be consulted later when the trip is evaluated.

5. • Prepare a list of question to send ahead to the guide
of the study trip.
• Define Safety and behavior standards for the journey
there and for the field trip site itself.
• Discuss and decide on ways to document the trip.
Everyone is expected to take notes.
• List specific objects to be seen on their way to the
site, on the site of the field trip and on their way
home from the site.
• Discuss appropriate dress. Comfortable shoes are
important.
• Before the trip, use a variety of learning materials in
order to give each student a background for the trip.

6. Other people accompanying the group need to
be oriented on the objectives, route, behavior
standards required of everyone so they can
help enforce those these standards. These may
be parents who will assist the teacher, other
teacher and/or school administrator staff.

7. TAKING THE FIELD TRIP

should check the group and introduce the
guide.

8. Special effort should be made to ensure
that :

question.

9. Could the same benefits be achieved by other
materials?
Was it worth the time, effort, and perhaps
extra money?
Were they any unexpected problems which
could be foreseen another time?
Were this due to guides, students, poor
planning, or unexpected trip conditions?
Were new interest developed?
Should the trip be recommended to other
classes studying similar topic?
