Goals for the Field Trip

During PYP Exhibition, students can go on a (or more) field trip that they planned by themselves. Field trip is optional;if you don't want to go on any field trips, that's fine, too. For our group, KAI, I think field trip is necessary because we have lots of informations to find throughout field trip. 'What am I planning to find out?'. That's my topic for today's blog.
The place we're planning to visit on field trip is academies (Hagwons) in Jeju City and around here. If you ask, 'Why do you visit two places? You can just go to the academies around here, not the Jeju city.', that's because we thought it would be better to observe two places and compare them. Since many international schools are around here, where our school is, the academies are also influenced by foreign education styles, so it's likely for them to be quite different from the typical Korean academies, where students learn by rote (I don't know whether this is a right word for it, but according to many TV shows and sources, almost every schools and academies in Korea let students to just 'memorize' something, not understanding it deeply). So we're going to find out the differences between Korea's education style and foreign education style by comparing academies. We're hoping to go on a field trip on May 20th, so that we have enough time to plan and take action.
