You go to class, sit down, and stay in your seat for 55 minutes. While in-class lessons are informative, it is difficult to apply what you learn from them to real-world situations. Learning in settings outside of a classroom can give you experiences and opportunities that you otherwise can\u2019t get.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easchooltours.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-learning-outside-the-classroom\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educating Adventures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a UK study found that learning outside the classroom led to raised standards and improved students&#8217; personal, social, and emotional development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instruction away from the classroom could include field trips, science lab time, outdoor education, learning in the media center, and more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After class, if you ask me what I learned during that hour, I would answer in detail what I had just been taught. However, if you ask me why I learned it, most of the time I wouldn\u2019t be able to come up with an answer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neamb.com\/work-life\/how-field-trips-boost-students-lifelong-success\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NEA Member Benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said the U.S. Travel Association found that 89% of people who took educational trips had a long-lasting impact on their education because enriching field trips made them more curious and engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is partly due to the hands-on nature that comes with out-of-the-classroom learning. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.byf.org\/is-hands-on-learning-better\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build Your Future<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a Purdue University study found that hands-on-taught students saw significantly higher test scores and improvements compared to traditionally-taught students.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I go to the lab for science classes, I can apply what I previously learned through videos and notes in class to authentic situations by getting real, hands-on experience, which shows me what must be done to carry out certain tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because learning outside of the classroom teaches students in more practical ways, it can boost comprehension and attitudes toward learning, which can increase students\u2019 grades. When I can leave my usual classroom and go to a different place in school for an assignment, like the media center, that typically means I am working with others or in a more unique way. This allows me to gain more confidence in skill sets I am practicing, which allows me to strengthen my understanding of the subject.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study done by the School Travel Forum agrees with this, stating that after learning outside the classroom, 60% of teachers noticed an increase in students\u2019 effort and 61% of students achieved higher than their predicted grade on that assignment, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easchooltours.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-learning-outside-the-classroom\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educating Adventures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it isn\u2019t realistic to incorporate learning outside of the classroom into lesson plans daily, especially in certain classes, it is still a beneficial and effective way to increase effective learning. So, the next time you get the opportunity to learn in a different setting, make sure to take advantage of it. It can help you tremendously in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
