dc.description.abstractIt is a known fact that our secondary schools do not have much of the required equipment and facilities necessary for teaching of skilled subjects. This unavailability of the basic equipment has been a factor militating against the effective teaching and learning of Business Studies in the Junior Secondary Schools. Field trip has been described as an alternative method of supplementing the theoretical teaching of the subject in the classrooms. It has been discovered though, that many teachers of the subject do not use field trips in their teachings. This study is focussed on determining the effect of field trips on students performance in Business Studies in two secondary schools in Lagos. An experimental study spread over six weeks was carried out and data collected from 56 Junior Secondary III students of two schools in Lagos. The data collected were analysed using the two variations of the t-test. The results shewed that: (1) The students who participated in the field trips performed better than those who did not participate; (2) The students in the control group who did not participate in the field trips might have done as well as their counterparts in the experimental group if they had participated in the field trips; (3) Taking students on field trips to related business environments is necessary in improving their performances in Businesss vi Studies; (4) Business Studies field trips could be enriching and more interesting if they are properly planned and evaluated. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were made; that teachers of Business Studies should undertake more field trips with their students to areas related to business; Principals of schools should encourage the teachers of this subject by providing them with funds or taking care of students transportation whenever the need arises; Government should organise seminars and workshops to inform teachers and principals in secondary schools of the importance of educational visits; business organisations can encourage the teachers by agreeing to host the students whenever there is the need; Parents should encourage their children and wards financially; the Parents-Teachers Associations can also help by providing school buses to schools.en_US
