Pupils' perception of the educational role of excursions in geography teaching

Summary/Abstract: Obviousness in geography teaching is of great importance for the development of geographical thinking and reasoning. Excursions provide a good opportunity to apply the principle of obviousness by enabling experiential learning, development of critical thinking, social skills, personality, motivation, more engagement and better performance. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether pupils recognize the educational role of excursions. The results were obtained through statistical data analysis collected using a survey technique among pupils in the SPSS 26.0 program. A suitable sample consists of fifth to eighth grade pupils from a school in Niš and an elementary school in a rural settlement near Niš. Pupils perceive the educational role of excursions, but the full benefit that excursions can provide as a type of educational activity has not been realized due to the way they are conducted.
