Abstract
The science field trips in educational practice publication intends to examine various aspects of the topic of field trips at schools and to interconnect all these approaches.The publication is divided into a general and a specific part. The general part defines the field trip as a pedagogical and didactic category, it focuses on regulation of field trips as governed by legislation and safety of pupils and on the new trend in teaching directly in the nature: the utilisation of the ICT.
The specific part is subdivided into chapters according to the prevailing systematic approach to teaching of natural science and biology in the Czech Republic.The individual chapters are therefore always devoted to field trips/group excursions in a particular field of biology (botany, invertebrate zoology, vertebrate zoology) and geology. By contrast, the concluding chapter entitled Foreign field trips presents a comprehensive view, connects constituent biological and geological fields and, additionally, gives the Czech teacher an opportunity to consider a field trip abroad.
