Professional field trips - important didactic form and method of work in the economist program

Paper

Field trips are an important part of the educational process, as they are used to achieve content and process knowledge and educational goals. They represent one of the common ways of functional connection and coordination of learning contents and learning modules and objects that are similar and complementary. Doing so, we approach the field from different angles and combine knowledge.
Field trips connect students directly with the learning content outside scool classrooms. They enable more active and experientially effective teaching and implement the concept of live, experiential, innovative learning, which makes it much more likely that the entire student's personality will be engaged and that different student abilities will be optimally activated. It can be argued that learning on field trips is more effective than working in the classroom.
In this article, I will present the stages of excursions and give the characteristics of micro and macro organizational preparation for the excursion.
I will describe in detail the content of two two-day professional excursions, an excursion to the Savinjska region and an excursion to Štajerska. From a professional point of view, the common thread of both economically colored field trips was to get to know the business processes in companies of different economic activities.
I will also highlight the reasons why we can say that excursions are an excellent way of learning.
