  • Safety for Outdoor Education and Field Trips Policy.Pages
    SUMMIT WEST Independent School POLICY TITLE: Safety for Outdoor Education and Field Trips Board Approval: May 5, 2015 Board Review: July 9, 2015 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this policy is to guide SWIS staff, parents and volunteers in ensuring continued safety for outdoor education and field trips. POLICY: Outdoor education comprises the multitude of student activities that occur outside the school building. The playgrounds where the students play should be safe and comply with CSA standards. Field trips are an integral part of student education and take place at various locations throughout the City of Calgary. Students are to be safe and cared for during the entire duration of their field trip. There is to be a specific procedure in place to assign accountability at individual and group level with clear lines of communication between Group Leaders, Trip Leader, the school and parents. Procedure: 1. Outdoor Education Students should participate in outdoor education every day of the school year. However, teachers are advised not to take students outdoors when the temperature is below -15 degrees Celsius, whether through wind chill or otherwise. Any time there is a risk of or actual storm, rain, hail, unsafe conditions due to damaged playground or a lockdown, teachers are not to take the students in the playground. While in the playground, at least three individuals must be present to supervise the students. Of those three individuals, at least one must be an Alberta Certified teacher. Students are to be constantly monitored so that they do not leave the playground, engage in bullying, throw pea gravel at each other, jump off high structures or try to climb the fence.

  • A Review of Research on School Field Trips and Their Value in Education
    International Journ Journalal of Environmental of Environmental & Science & Educat Scienceion Education (2014), 9, 235-245 Vol. 3, No. 3, July 2008, xx-xx A Review of Research on School Field Trips and Their Value in Education Marc Behrendt Ohio University Teresa Franklin Ohio University Received 16 June 2013; Accepted 8 January 2014 Doi: 10.12973/ijese.2014.213a The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of science field trips as educational tools to connect students to classroom concepts. Experiential learning at formal and informal field trip venues increases student interest, knowledge, and motivation. The teacher's role in preplanning, implementation, and reflection often dictates the impact that the field trip will have on students. Science teacher education programs do not traditionally instruct preservice teachers how to plan or coordinate a field trip. Once teachers are empowered and learn how to develop and orchestrate a successful field trip, they will enable students to develop interest in science, which may lead to improved learning or improved science literacy. Because some school systems are limiting science field trips, this paper concludes by examining inexpensive or cost- free field trip ideas. Keywords: experiential learning, informal learning, field trip, professional development, interest in science, science teacher education Introduction Students who directly participate during a field experience generate a more positive attitude about the subject. Many researchers have investigated knowledge gain and learning that occurred during field trips (Hudak, 2003; Kisiel, 2006a; Mawdsley, 1999; Michie, 1998; Nadelson & Jordan, 2012; Scarce, 1997; Scribner-MacLean & Kennedy, 2007). Research by Cwikla, Lasalle, & Wilner (2009) suggested that eighth grade students with an interest in science were significantly more likely to acquire science related careers than students with no interest in science.
