field trip
An excursion ( Latin excursio for "excursion", from ex for "(her) from" and currere for "to run") is an educational excursion with special visits , hikes or a journey (educational and study tour ) under educational or scientific guidance and Goal setting. Longer excursions are also called research trips .
description
Typical excursion destinations are, for example: In the natural sciences, an observatory , a nature park , a show mine or the exploration of geological or landforms , in technology and in the context of vocational training special laboratories or companies , the inspection of innovative buildings and related field services as well as visits to exhibitions and museums and other cultural events.
It is characterized by a set teaching objective and corresponding post-processing, for example in the form of report protocols.
As part of the school , the learning location school is left for a certain period of time (for example from one day to several weeks) in order to deal with the real object on the spot as part of the subject teaching . In this context, a distinction must be made (e.g. in Bavarian teaching law): the course (duration in the range of one lesson), the school trip (school excursion, half, full or multi-day) as a teaching trip , the teaching hike (hike with designated teaching goals) and the operating sensing (special form of teaching migration to an operation, which serves to those classes and processed designated educational purposes).
As part of a university course , an excursion is an external course . It serves to impart knowledge of a specific subject and as an extension and deepening of a course. For this purpose, the respective university usually has excursion guidelines .
Colloquially today, the word excursion also means in the leisure sector a hike lasting several hours in a group with an excursion guide who explains scientific information and contexts using local conditions, or a cultural trip .
Teaching / learning methodology
Basically, a distinction can be made between classic cognitivist overview excursions with a low level of self-determination on the part of the learner, problem-oriented overview excursions, action-oriented work excursions and strongly self-determined, constructivist approaches.
