The Field Trip Milieu: Learning and Behavior as a Function of Contextual Events.
Falk, John H.; Balling, John D.
Journal of Educational Research, v76 n1 p22-28 Sep-Oct 1982
The impact of a field trip on the attitudes, behavior, and learning of 196 third- and fifth-grade students was assessed. Third grade students seemed overwhelmed by the field trip and learned more from an outdoor science activity near their school. Fifth grade students were stimulated by the trip and bored by the outdoor lesson. (Authors/PP)
