(1) Assignment setting

Think about what you want to experience and what you want to learn on this excursion in order to realize an active excursion where you can think, act, and tackle yourself from a passive excursion just to see and go.

(2) Collection of information

Actively see, hear, and experience things at your travel destination, and fill in the gaps between your image of the area and prior information. By interacting with students of the same generation and asking them questions that they have thought about in advance, they will encourage them to notice and discover something.

(3) Sorting and analysis

By organizing and analyzing a lot of collected information, we can see the solution of the problem. "Why do you think so" and "Comparison with others" lead to your own problem solving.

④Summary/Expression

After organizing and analyzing the information, communicating it to others will clarify the thoughts of each person and lead to the discovery of further issues. You can power up.
