“…According to Demirkaya and Atayeter (2011) and also Sawyer (2017), the interview conducted with the students after the field trip indicated that the students' interest and understanding on the subject matter rise, and the knowledge gained is hardly forgotten. Moreover, the field trip has also strengthened the relationship between the lecturers and students, compared to the classroom situation where the relationship is more formal.…”

“…The material presented should be a blend of concrete information (facts, data, and observable phenomena) and abstract concepts (principles, theories, mathematical models) (Felder, 1988). Field trips create opportunities for students to acquire practical technical skills alongside individual and social experiences (Demirkaya & Atayeter, 2011). Field study is an additional learning activity which provide real learning environment for students to learn from observations at fields.…”

Learning is more concerned in engineering education as students need to do deep learning to understand the engineering principles for practice. Engineering is a practicing profession. Therefore, providing learning environment is required for the subjects of engineering disciplines to enable students to learn in depth. By knowing this phenomenon, field study was conducted as a group study for the civil engineering subject of building construction allowing students to learn and gain knowledge by observing construction activities in construction projects in addition to the lectures in usual classroom. At the end of the study, it is found that field study is useful for learning and students acquire knowledge and understand the application of theory at real situation. In addition, students develop skills for working as a team by organizing their works, sharing knowledge, discussing with relevant technical personnel at work site and achieving the targets within the given time frame. It is realized that teacher's role is vital to make the study successful in the ways of organizing field study, conducting discussion classes to assist students, monitoring the progress and giving the feedback of the students' performance during the course of field study producing excellent results while satisfying the objectives of both teacher and students.

“…When planned efficiently, field trips add additional value to and enrich the classroom. [5] Such trips can contribute to and complement the textbook used during formal class lectures [6] and even present better learning outcomes than school-based learning. [7] Such trips assist students in the development of ideas and a deeper understanding around the field/profession and prevent the straightforward memorisation of facts.…”

“…[7] Such trips assist students in the development of ideas and a deeper understanding around the field/profession and prevent the straightforward memorisation of facts. [6,7] Field trips enhance students' awareness on a cognitive and an affective level, [8] which often cannot be achieved in the classroom. [9] Cognitive learning is achieved when students can make connections among and interpret different aspects of a subject to apply what they have learned in other fields of practice or the profession.…”

“…[7] Field trips also result in increased memory. [8] From the literature reviewed, field trips are commonly included in subjects such as geography and museum studies, [5][6][7][8][9] biology and ecology [10] and law. [11] In this study, we used field trips as a strategy to influence students' perceptions regarding a management module as part of their training as future pharmacists.…”

Background. Management training is an important aspect of pharmacy training, as many pharmacists are appointed in management positions early in their careers. However, students struggle to see the importance and relevance of a management module in the final year of the BPharm curriculum and show low levels of motivation and engagement with regard to the module. A possible strategy to change students' perceptions of the importance of a management module is the inclusion of field trips in the curriculum. Objective. To determine whether students' experience of field trips influenced their perceptions regarding a management module as part of their training as future pharmacists. Methods. A mixed-method sequential exploratory research design was used. Data were gathered through written narratives and focus group interviews, followed by surveys before and after the field trips. Results. The students who participated in the field trips (experimental group) had higher mean scores in the post-test than those who did not participate (control group). The experimental group was more positive about the module than the control group. The field trips improved the perception of students regarding the importance of the management module for future job preparation. Conclusion. Field trips add value to pharmacy training and should form part of the BPharm curriculum in South Africa.
