Education Excursion
Children have an inquisitive mind which allows them to be more imaginative and retain more information by visually experiencing activities in a chosen environment. Since they don’t have any preconceived notions about how an experience should be, they’re able to experience places and settings in a very different way compared to adults. Educational tours are regularly organized by PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya No.4, Jaipur to help students explore more and dig deeper into concepts and theories. To delve into the concepts and have a thorough understanding, students require exposure, knowledge, and awareness of the subjects in a practical way. This can be accomplished through Educational Tours. Schools should include educational trips as part of the curriculum as they provide students the joy of discovering new opportunities, places, and learning about the world they live in. Educational tours are a great way for students to interact, experience, and grasp theory practically. Such trips benefit students and teachers too.
When students are exposed to newer environments, their minds automatically go in different directions, allowing them to raise queries that they may not have previously considered. An educational tour, apart from helping teachers witness student behaviours and tendencies, also provides insights on what kind of stimulation works for students, allowing them to adjust their lesson plans and teaching based on visual cues. By conducting various activities on the field, students get a chance to sharpen their observation skills, evaluate information in a new context, and most importantly, engage with a place and subject through different sensory input.
The Benefits of Excursions and Educational Tours are:
- Interactive Learning
- Cultural Observations
