  • 2) Application of Knowledge: Participants can put their theoretical knowledge to use in practical settings by going on field visits. Biology students, for example, are able to see and recognize different plant and animal species in their native environments.
  • 3) Data Collection: In order to gather information for their studies, researchers frequently visit fields. From scientific research to market research, this data can be used for a variety of study projects.
  • 4) Environmental Awareness: Going to natural areas can help people become more conscious of environmental issues like biodiversity, conservation, and sustainable living.
  • 5) Problem-Solving Ability: During field visits, participants could run into difficulties or unanticipated circumstances. This can foster the growth of adaptability and problem-solving abilities.
