Abstract

Schools are often a focal point for community involvement. The findings by Rogoff [1] emphasize community interpersonal and personal planes. The study focuses on the investigation done by the researcher, which highlights the social practices that promoted a student- centered approach to developing participative decision making and collaborative skills. This paper proposes a framework which focuses on a strategy through participation and interactions within a community experience. Social interactions with a skilful tutor allow the learner to observe and practice their skills. According to Vygotsky [2] much important learning by the child occurs through social interaction with a skilful tutor. In the light of the above evidences, communities are rich learning laboratories. Fieldtrips make the students more empathetic and tolerant. Educational field trips place children in a different social environment. Through this paper the significance of educational field trips, which are commonly conducted for students as an effective strategy to enhance community scaffolding is highlighted.
