Study of Application for Excursion Observation Method in Primary School 2nd Grade Social Studies
Abstract
This study aims to investigate how field trips are conducted at 2nd grade of primary schools as a part
of social studies course. Data for this research is compiled from 143 permanent Social Studies teachers working
throughout 2011–2012 Education Year in the primary schools of central Kütahya and its districts. Data is compiled
by using descriptive search model. In the research, after taking expert opinions, a measuring tool developed by the
researcher is used. Data obtained from the research were transferred to computer, and analyses were made. In the
analysis of the data, frequency and percentage values have been used to determine the distribution. Also a single
factor variance analysis and t-test for independent samples have been used to determine the significance of difference
between the variables.
As a result of the research, it has been realized that insufficient importance is given to field trip method in Social
Studies lessons. Most of the teachers using this method apply it in spring months. Teachers usually make use of field
trips independent from unit/topic to increase the students’ motivation, and they generally use verbal expression in the
class after tours. The biggest difficulty teachers encounter while using tour-observation method is the students’
undisciplined behavior.
