Sažetak
While field trips have become part of learning experience as a form of experiential education at all levels, there are still questions related to their connection to the learning outcomes of the particular course. Integrating them into the curriculum in order to create strong episodic memories requires careful planning prior to the trip. This paper presents the academic field trip made by the students of Public relations and the media and Journalism and it explores the field trip programme experience for the students. The focus is on Academic Writing, a third-year elective course, including the preparation for the field trip, its integration into the curriculum, the field-trip context and the assessment of student learning process in both cognitive and affective domains. Pre- and post-field trip surveys were conducted in the form of a semantic differential scale and a Vis facts quiz. Students reflected upon their experience in the narrative essays that they wrote for their process portfolios. The aim of this study was to establish to what extent and how the field trip experience changed the students’ knowledge, attitudes and motivation. The findings showed a positive change in the attitudes and knowledge as well as the motivational level of the students who participated in this field trip.
