Preliminary planning by the Teacher

• 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.• Make a tentative route plan, subject to later alteration based on class planning and objectives.• Try to work out mutually satisfactory arrangements with other teachers if the trip will conflict with their classes.• Prepare preliminary lists of questions or other materials which will be helpful in planning with the students.

Preplanning with the Others Joining the Trip

• Discuss the objectives of the trip and write them down.• Prepare a list of questions to send ahead to the guide of the study trip.• Define safety and behaviour standards for the journey there and for the field trip site itself.• Discuss appropriate dress.• Before the trip, use a variety of learning materials in order to give each student a background for the trip.• Other people accompanying the group like parents, other teacher and school administrator staff must be oriented on the objectives, route, behaviour standards required.

Taking the Field Trip

• Distribute route map of places to be observed.• Upon arriving at the destination, teacher should check the group and introduce the guide.• Special effort should be made to ensure that: - the tip keeps to the time schedule. - the students have the opportunity to obtain answers to questions. - the group participates courteously in the trip. - the guide sticks closely to the list of questions.

Evaluating the Field Trip

• Could the same benefits be achieve by other materials? Was it worth the time, effort, and perhaps extra money?• Were there any unexpected problems which could be foreseen another time? Were these due to guides, students, poor planning, or unexpected trip conditions?• Were new interests developed? • Should the trip be recommended to other classes studying similar topics?
