DeleteYes, it is rightly quoted that the field visit is an educational procedure by which each student gains or learns information by observing events and other real-life activities at the workplace. It provides students hands-on experience when they see, explore, analyse and learn. But often some of the problems are encountered by the school for conducting such field trips. The common problems are cost, safety issues, collecting parental consent, budget, and the transportation arrangements, distance to the destination and time consumed, etc.

ReplyDeleteSuch field visits can provide hands-on experience and insight into the lives of people whose lives are dependent on such skills. The future generation will become independent in dealing with practical problems at home like plumbing or drilling a nail. The problems can be:
ReplyDelete1. Corona Virus demanded social distancing, field visits by students can be problematic if SOPs are not followed. Parents may also have hiccups to give consent during these tough times.
2. Schools face a major problem in arranging such trips due to lack of funds, especially govt.schools

ReplyDeleteAs rightly pointed out that the field visit is an educational procedure by which each student gains or learns information by observing events and other real-life activities at the workplace. It provides students hands-on training.
ReplyDeleteproblems can be unavailability of companies where field trips can be arranged or organisations not allowing students to visit. First can be sorted out by conducting virtual visits for students in rural areas and allowing excursions wherever/whenever possible in the session.
Field visit definitely encourage students. For this financial problem is one hurdle. The Head of the Institute may provide some fund in the annual budget for Field visit exclusively for vocational education
ReplyDeleteField Visits is definitely beneficial for students. Some problems which might be faced are funding for such visits, permissions for such field trip from the organization and the workplace.

ReplyDeleteAnd how I resolve those problems.....
Many problems are faced by me in such field visit such as ; selection of visit as the students are multi skilled in my group .

The outcome of an experience depends on a person’s interests, motivation, life circumstances at
ReplyDeletethat time, needs, and prior experiences and knowledge Field trips offer an
opportunity to motivate and connect students to appreciate and understand classroom concepts,
which increase a student’s knowledge foundation, promoting further learning and higher level
thinking strategies. With understanding comes confidence and intrinsic motivation.
A successful and quality field trip requires teacher preparation and interaction. Some
factors should be addressed before the trip. The experience needs to be planned. The teacher
should previsit the venue to meet the staff and arrange the activities, and then prepare the
students by orienting them to the venue’s layout, activities, and expectations. Student groupings
should be set up prior to arrival at the venue

ReplyDeleteField trips are highly beneficial, but the aptitude of students are different.
ReplyDeleteWith the support of parents industrial visit is beneficial for students to develop aptitude .
ReplyDeleteThe common problems encountered for such field visits are ;The accessibility of workplaces of student interest near schools ,the lack of a guide who could bring more clarity to students observations, schools are not able to conduct multiple field visits for the same students for lack of sufficient funds etc.
ReplyDeleteIndisciplined behaviour is a hurdle in knowledge gained
ReplyDelete1.Transport arrangement and cost.
ReplyDelete2.Parent consent.
3.Communication problem.

Problems encountered: can be financial, consent, weather conditions, safety and security, availability of site, unaccessibility of the available site, technical difficulty etc.
ReplyDeleteWe can overcome these factors by fundraising, increasing awareness, providing access to technology, and tying up more organizations with the institutes or schools providing vocational education.
The problems are safety issues, collecting parental consent, budget, transportation arrangements.Problems can be solved with a meeting to parents and the children where importance of educational tour to be discussed and proper counselling and motivation plays an important role.

ReplyDeleteField visit is very much beneficial to the students .But some points are very important for the students ie fund,safety and proper arrangement .
ReplyDeleteOrganising field trips for students are very important for them to gain practical knowledge in their vocational field. At the same time in the present scenario it is not possible to take students for field trips as at this moment social distancing is supposed to be maintained. Students who attend the vocational education basically come from the less academically and economically able families. For them it becomes very difficult to spend money for field trips. Institutions are also not ready to foot the bills of transportation, food and stay especially if the industries are located far away. Parents are also not ready to send their children to far way locations.
ReplyDeleteField visits are very much different from rote learning. students will be confused at early stage but as they start corelating with real situations, they find it easy, interesting, and like it with whole heart.
ReplyDeleteIf we take students for field visit, many matters to be taken care; like safety and security of students, ensure they follow the lane rules, properly see the items and listen the explanations appropriately and understand well. More over their stay ,transport and bringing them back etc are also of paramount important.
ReplyDeleteIt gives students to feel the 3D World in realistic manner. Allows students to view the Vocational activities at ground level.

ReplyDeleteThanks to Government of India and our Honorable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Damodar Das Modiji for introducing National Education Policy 2020. Yes indeed radical changes are going to take place in the field of Education. Vocationalisation of Education by integrating the Vocational Education with the General Education in order to enhance the employability opportunities of the young children and to reduce the mismatch between demand and supply of skilled manpower and to provide an alternative for those pursuing higher education. The concept of Vocationalisation of education has been the key concept since Woods Despatch 1854. Many Committees and commissions have been set up by the Government of India. But a few elders in our system are not serious about this change. There are many constraints in the field of education.
ReplyDelete1. No proper infrastructure in a School to accommodate 45 to 50 students and to teach the Practical skills.
2. The teachers who possess Vocational knowledge are not utilized properly. They are being misused. I mean to say their services are not utilized to streamline the Vocationalisation of Education.
3. There should be a Workshop/Laboratory like infrastructure in the School
4. Equipment/tools are required to teach the skills.
5. No NCERT text book as the other subjects have.
Fields visits are important in learning process. I don't find any problem in organizing field visits..
ReplyDeleteField visit is a real life experience. I do remember when my class students were taken to a toy factory. Our teacher had explained the working of a toy-doll that would sit up by itself when it was made to lie down in sleeping position. How cogwheel works etc. Moreover, what is learnt with pleasure has lasting impression.

ReplyDeleteOur Indian tradition and culture has always foused on skill based learning . We can see examples from gurukul system in ancient India. like archery, pottery, agriculture , metullargy etc. So vocational education is nothing new. It only needs to be implemented again properly in mainstream education system as per today's needs.
ReplyDeleteTo organise field trips one need to take care of the following things:
ReplyDeletePermission from the concerned authorities
Transportation
Consent from parents
Cost factors, safety and security of the students etc.

ReplyDeleteField trips require significant planning and coordination for teachers and administrators,
Students often see a field trip as a free day out of the classroom.
The hurdles and altrenative arrangements in organizing these trips are going to be-
a) Financing this trip. Some parents /NGOS may be approached.
b) Finding a suitable industry nearby the school location. A online interaction could be arranged by coordinating with the authorities .

ReplyDeleteIn classroom and well ad in school labs , students are not getting the real life experience. Field visits provides an opportunity to observe and learn how things are implemented and a working model is made.
ReplyDeleteSome of the problems encountered while conducting field trips & the solutions that could be worked out are
ReplyDelete1) Funding / High costs that might arise.
Solution : We could take help from the PTA, social media and crowdfunding campaigns and much more.
2)Creating the right trip plan -
The trip needs to be beneficial.
Solution- Plan well. Proper planning requires a lot of time too. Reputable student tour companies also use local, professional tour guides on all trips, and professional tour managers on all overnight tours. These travel professionals handle logistics and make for smooth hotel check-ins, attraction visits, etc.
The best solution to this problem is talking to someone who knows a lot about your destination/ site.
3) Educational aspects - how far the visit to the site is useful, is to be evaluated.
Solution - Read many reviews before making a decision, and read them skeptically. It’s not as good as counsel from a longtime tour operator, but taking the time to do thorough research online can improve your trip.
4) Time Management is crucial.
Solution - Always build in extra time as transportation always takes a bit longer than one would think.
Add an extra 30 minutes to the itinerary for eating, checking in & out of accommodation sites etc.
5) Engaging students - if left free and unmonitored even for a little time, there are chances of unexpected issues.
Solution - sufficient staff and student leaders for monitoring.
6) Transportation - very important.
Solution - Call well experienced and reliable transport companies.
7) Safety of students - a matter of concern.
Controlling the entire classroom in a new surrounding can also be a challenge. It may be difficult for students to focus on the lesson if they are excited about spending a school day out of classroom.
Solution - Proper monitoring is the only solution. Create awareness among students too regarding self safety.
8) Weather - adverse weather can create issues.
Solutions - Plan the field trips to safe areas. See and assess weather conditions at the site and on the way.
9)Collecting parental consent is an issue, sometimes.
Solution - Discuss and convince the parents about the advantages, necessity and how crucial a role these play in academic side too.
10) Student control.
It may be difficult to enforce rules on a field trip and foster a valuable learning experience since students may be tempted to wander away from the group, misbehave on the bus or even become loud at the museums / such sites.
Solution - Proper instructions before the trip and engaging reliable student leaders to exercise peer control, apart from constant monitoring by teachers.Sufficient staff must be deployed for all these field trips.
No vocational training or awareness program can be completed without exposing the children to the operation site. So field trips is a must for such students. In this regard different problems may be expected. Few such problems may be cited here. Getting consent of the parents, Finance involved, safety and security, discipline and monitoring of the children, staff deputed for the trip etc are prime factors. These factors may be easily resolved by conducting a parent-teacher meeting.
