Learning outside the classroom

“The use of places other than
the classroom for teaching
and learning.”


Research suggests that learning outside of the classroom can improve overall learning and achieving within and outside the classroom. The crossover of theory and reality reinforces concepts introduced in the classroom. Pupils have the opportunity to relate experiences and involvement to their lives and community. Not only this but it helps to teach subjects outside curriculum areas particularly key skills such as communication and social abilities.
