You might try a literature search.
try Science Education or the Journal of Research in Science Teaching
for starters, there have been a number of papers written on student
learning, field trips, etc. by Gilbert, Priest, Griffin, Symington,
Jarvis, Pell, Cox-Petersen, Kisiel, and others.
you may be surprised, or shocked, depending on your expectations.
