6. FIELD TRIPS
• Field trip is a method in which a group of
interested farmers accompanied & guided by
an extension worker , goes on tour to see &
gain first hand knowledge of improved
practices in thier natural settings

7. • Farmers observe & discus one or more improved
practices that each of the farmers visited has
introduced
• This method helps in convince farmers by
providing them an opportunity to observe a
practices already adopted in an actual situation

8. • They are also able to discus its implications with
the adopter & its possible adoption under their
own situation .
• Smaller groups should generally be preferred to
larger ones.

9. PURPOSE
•To stimulate
• Interest ,
• Conviction
Action
(in respect of specific practice)

10. To impress
• the group about the
feasibility & utility of a
series of related practices.

11. To induce
• A spirit of healthy
competition by showing
others accomplishment

14. Pre-Trip Stage
• Administration
• Instruction.

15. • Administration component involves all
of the steps taken by the field trip organizer
to arrange the logistics of the field trip.

16. • Securing permission from
appropriate administration
• Organizing transportation to and
from the field trip location

17. • Contacting the field trip location to
verify the schedule and activities,
Unfortunately, many field trip
organizers only focus on administrative
concerns during the pre-trip stage of
field trip planning.

18. Although the activities of the
administration component are
important, if organizers only focus on
logistics, a major segment of the pre-
trip stage is missing and field trips may
not be educationally successful

19. Trip Stage
The second stage of a successful field trip is the trip itself.
Two components should be addressed during this stage:
• the role of the participant and
• the role of the organizer.

20. • The role of the participant is
accomplished by establishing a field trip
agenda and sharing this agenda and
field trip objectives with the participants.

21. • A suggested agenda for a field trip starts
with a brief amount of free time for
individuals to explore the field trip site
on their own.
• This open exploration may not be
appropriate in all locations.

22. Post-Trip Stage
• The third and final stage of a successful field trip is the
post-trip stage.
• Like the stages before it, this stage also contains two
components:
Debriefing
Culminating activity.

23. • Debriefing session,
• participants should be encouraged to share and discuss their
experiences during the field trip.
• This could include sharing and discussing data or results of
assigned small group activities

24. • As well as sharing feelings about specific aspects
of the trip or overall impressions
• Participants should also be given an opportunity
to identify and discuss problems encountered
during the field trip.

25. Culminating activity
• This activity should give participants an
opportunity to apply the content knowledge they
gained during the field trip.
• They can be whole or small group experiences.

26. • Both the debriefing and
culminating activity should occur
as soon after the trip as

27. ADVANTEGES

• Percentage of exposure is high
• Widens the vision

time suitable for all
