A field trip is typically a group excursion to a place away from their normal environment for performing firsthand research on a topic. Field trips have been widely used in teaching and learning, and have been considered as the effective way to promote students’ active and inquirybased learning. As Prather (1989) noted, “compared to other traditional teaching techniques, field trips may provide an especially rich stimulus setting for content learning and may excel in generating a natural inclination to learning”. Similarly, Woerner (1999) indicated that field trips offered excitement, adventure, and visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory experiences for students to learn about the real world and how it worked.

In this paper, the authors discuss creativity and the impact it might have on teaching and learning. The authors believe that imaginative play, at all ages, helps all people (children especially) create healthy environments and spaces that expand their learning. The authors contend that teaching for imagination—which asks little more than creating and trusting an ecological space that engenders it—seldom is considered a priority. Given the emphasis on creativity in the real world and the virtual digital world, the authors believe it is important to add to the body of knowledge through continued research in this field.
