Summary conclusion recommendation and suggestion
The chapter present a summary of the study with conclusion drawn, recommendations generated from the discussion of the result and suggestions for further studies
Summary of finding
The study investigated the attitude of senior secondary school teacher toward educational fieldtrip in biology in Ilorin metropolis. Related literature to the study was reviewed and major variables and concepts related to the study were discussed.
The study used random sampling technique to select is senior secondary schools and 100 participants comprisony secondary75 biology student and 25 biology teacher in the sampled school in Ilorin metropolis in Kwara State the data for the study were gathered using a research designed questionnaire titled attitude of teacher on biology fieldtrip one main hypothesis and two operational hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The data gathered were analyzed using product moment correlation statistic to test the formulated hypothesis at 0,05 level of significance.
The finding of the study are summarized below:
i. There is significant relationship between teacher her and student attitude to fieldtrip in biology in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis
ii. There is significant relationship between teachers attitude to fieldtrip and effective teaching of biology in senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis
iii. There is significant relationship between student attitude to fieldtrip in biology and student academic performance is senior secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis.
Conclusion
Educational fieldtrips are far from new teachers have for years because they enable student to experience the real physical world. Given their potential for affecting achievement, the topic of fieldtrip has been the focus of many research studies (Hofstein, 2014), (Baker,2011) and Teselowski, (201)
When teaching a course like biology, that focuses on environment science it is a logical extension to use the outdoor as a classroom because the discipline is field- oriented by definition.
Fieldtrip offer the sort of enriching experience that is considered central to successful educational achievement fieldtrips is an important educational experience for student. It boosts confidence of the student in learning the subject matter and help to improve social skills.

Recommendation
Based on the finding of the study the following recommendations were made
Biology teacher must design, and organize fieldtrip in a way hat would help to address any issues militating against the smooth implementation of fieldtrip activities before during and after the trip
Efforts should be made to develop a process oriented approach to fieldtrip that focuses on active interaction between biology student and the environment.
Good planning should proceeds fieldtrip in biology with careful attention to trip selection follow-up and evaluation in order to develop positive attitude in teacher and student.
There should be mandatory orientation courses, seminars, conference and workshops on fieldtrips for the school administrator in order to understand what the trip is all about as most of them do not understand how the field operate.
