AN
INVESTIGATIVE STUDY ON THE USE OF FIELD TRIP IN TEACHING AND LEARNING OF
BIOLOGY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Concepts of
Field Trip strategy was introduced in 1827 by George Shillibeer for a Quaker
school at Abney Park in Stoke Newington, London, United Kingdom.
A field trip
is a visit to a place outside the regular classroom which is designed to
achieve certain objectives, which cannot be achieved as well by using other
means. For example if the lesson is on
“making cheese”, and if there is no hand on experience it is very difficult to
achieve the objectives. In such a lesson this strategy is required. Field trips
give opportunity for students to get out of the classroom and experience
something new. The located place for field trip can be zoos, collages, museums,
theater and schools.
Features of
field trip facilitate the learning of abstract concepts. Taking students on a
field trip makes learning more effective as they will be able to gain vast
ideas on the topic. Motivate students through increased interest and curiosity.
Field trips can add variety to the regular classroom instructional program and
they tend to be special and enjoyable learning experiences. As a result,
students will develop positive attitudes in students toward related classroom
activities.
Increases
student-student and student-teacher social interaction. Field trips provide an
opportunity to involve students, parents, and the teachers in the instructional
program. Students can select the place to be visited, developing questions to
ask, writing reports or thank you letters after the trip, or evaluating the
experiences. Since parents must give their permission, a letter sent home with
the permission from explaining purpose of the trip is a good way to arouse
their curiosity and encourage them to ask the student or teacher about the
trip. The parent guides their child in order to make sure that they do not come
to any harm. This role allows the parent and teacher to establish a much closer
relationship. The interaction between students within themselves will also be
increased when they work in groups. Moreover, the interaction between the
students and teacher will enhance as the students will have to discuss to the
teachers when they have doubts. Develops social awareness. Field trips make
students aware of learning activities in everyday life. For instance, visits to
supermarkets or shopping malls are typical field experiences, which teachers
may fail to notice. A well-organized trip to a "normal" place is an
excellent method of teaching students to observe, ask questions, and learn in
the large classroom.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Purpose of
Field Trip enhances the curriculum. Field trips are rich in educational
possibilities as students learn from actual hands-on experiences, rather than
by simply reading or hearing about something. Involvement in a real world
experience makes learning more meaningful and memorable comparing to regular
classroom instructional programs. Give students experiential learning
experiences. Involvement in a real world experience makes learning more
meaningful and memorable. As a result the students will have more concept of
the topic as they have learnt through their hand-on experiences. Concrete
skills such as note taking. Students have to develop questions to be asked,
write reports or thank you letters after the trip, or evaluate their
experiences. By doing such activities, students will develop various skills
such as note taking skills, speaking skills, writing skills will enhance.
Involvement in a real world experience makes learning more meaningful and
memorable. Field trips can add variety to the regular instructional program;
they tend to be special and enjoyable learning experiences, ones which develop
positive attitudes in students toward related classroom activities. Field trips are rich in educational
possibilities because students learn from actual firsthand experiences, rather
than by simply reading or hearing about something.
Field trips
help the students appreciate the relevance and importance of what they learn in
the classroom. For e.g. determining blood type is a skill, which can be learned
in a school laboratory setting, but students may not learn the importance of
this skill until they observe what goes on in a real hospital where life and
death are. The research intends to investigate the factors affecting the use of
field trip in teaching and learning of biology in secondary.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problem
confronting the research is to determine the factors affecting the use of field
trip in teaching and learning of biology in secondary school. This is
particularly imperative to ensure the effectiveness of field trips and the
attainment of its objectives.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION
1 What is the nature of field trips in
teaching and learning
1 What is the significance of field trips in
teaching and learning
2 What constitute the factors affecting the
use of field trips in teaching and learning
of biology in secondary school
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH
1 To determine the nature of field trip in
teaching and learning of biology in secondary school.
2 To
appraise the significance of field trip
3 To determine the factors affecting the use
of field trips in teaching and learning of biology in secondary school
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH
The research shall elucidate the nature of
field trips in teaching and learning in biology in secondary school. And
analyze the factors affecting the use of field trips in teaching and learning
of biology in secondary schools.
It shall
also serve as a veritable source of information on issues of field trip in
teaching and learning.
1.6 STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESIS
Ho: Teaching
and learning of biology in secondary school is low
Hi: Teaching
and learning of biology insecondary school is high
Ho: The use
of field trip in teaching and learning of biology in secondary school is low
Hi: The use
of field trip in teaching and learning of biology in secondary school is high
Hi: The
factors affecting the use of field trip in teaching and learning of biology in
secondary school are high
1.7 SCOPE OF
THE STUDY
The study shall appraise the nature of field
trip in teaching and learning of biology in secondary school and elucidate the
factors affecting the use of field trip in teaching and learning.
