First, the study tour is an important measure to implement the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan and the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.
Second, study tour is an important carrier to cultivate and practice socialist core values;
Thirdly, study tour is an important way to comprehensively promote quality education in primary and secondary schools;
Fourthly, study tour is an important part of the combination of school education and off-campus education.
At present, pilot projects in various places have actively carried out useful explorations:
First, strengthen organizational leadership, and study tours in various places are planned, targeted and taken measures, including 38 management standards in Xi' an and 6 mechanisms in Shanghai;
Second, explore the investment of funds, mainly from the government, schools and parents;
The third is to establish activity bases. For example, Xi 'an relies on comprehensive practical activity bases to strengthen specific guidance and management. There are 26 bases listed in Shijiazhuang and a map of off-campus education in Shanghai.
Fourth, organize training seminars, such as national and local research travel forums and seminars held in Ann, Hefei and Wuhan.
5. Incorporate into the curriculum reform, especially enrich the content of the comprehensive practical activity curriculum;
Sixth, reflect the orientation of educating people, learn what to learn, have clearer goals and rich contents;
Seven, strengthen the linkage between departments, tourism, cultural relics, prices and other departments in some provinces and cities actively support study tours, and many parents have become volunteers for study tours;
Eight, try to evaluate and evaluate. In some areas, research travel is included in the comprehensive quality evaluation, and some schools have formulated a conduct scale including research travel;
9. Highlighting regional characteristics, such as An and Suzhou, are outstanding in this respect;
Ten, the use of social forces, through the purchase of quality services, cooperation with travel agencies, private bases and other ways. , to create conditions for research travel;
Xi. Pay attention to safe travel, including Xi 'an, Zhou Su, Wuhan and other places. Although there are many trips, there are no unsafe accidents, which proves that the safety problem can be solved as long as the main body of safety responsibility is defined and the safety process is refined;
Twelve. Standardized operation. In many areas, combined with the actual situation, the operation is strictly regulated in carrying out research and tourism work.
There are also many problems and challenges in research travel. According to local opinions, the main contradictions are concentrated in three aspects:
First, security issues, such as Shaanxi Province allowing cities outside xi 'an to carry out research trips, but it has been delayed due to security issues;
Second, the issue of funds. At present, most local study tours are mainly charged by parents, and it is still difficult for the government to take a little and the school to give a little.
Third, the issue of coordination, research travel involves many aspects and departments. If coordination is not in place, many activities will be difficult to carry out widely.
At present, the study tour has also encountered a good opportunity:
First, the leaders attached great importance to it, and Comrade Liu Yandong gave instructions on conducting research trips;
Second, the country officially advocates study tours, and the State Council has also issued documents;
Third, local pilots go first. The first batch of pilot projects in four cities in China have made contributions and accumulated a lot of good experience;
Fourthly, the call for education reform in China.
In the future, the Ministry of Education clearly put forward seven requirements on how to continue to do a good job in the pilot work of research travel:
The first is to deepen the pilot. Pilot provinces and cities to carry out research travel pilot work, and actively sum up the promotion experience. The Ministry of Education plans to publish the Collection of Research Travel in 20 15, tentatively named Research Travel-Promoting the New Normal of Quality Education. At the same time, how to expand the pilot, we consider sublimating the existing pilot into a pilot area, and the government of the pilot area must implement special funds related to research travel;
Second, explore the funding guarantee mechanism. Research travel must have a relatively stable capital investment. All provinces and cities should explore the guarantee mechanism of special funds for research travel, or raise the standard of public funds, and explain that it includes research travel expenses, just as Sunshine Sports includes insurance premiums. Only by exploring legal and reasonable fees can parents share less; At the same time, we should explore the financial aid mechanism for disadvantaged students;
Third, establish a security mechanism. Guofa [20 14] 3 1 clearly stated that in organizing study tours according to the principle of "education-oriented, safety first", students must be insured for study tours, and the safety responsibilities should be clearly defined during study tours to avoid making the schools bear unlimited responsibilities;
Fourth, give play to the educational function. Research travel activities must be effective and targeted, such as some activities to visit the Red Tour, activities to implement the Dandelion Action Plan, activities to promote Chinese traditional virtues, activities to practice the Chinese dream, and activities to practice socialist core values. These activities should be organically combined with the activities of off-campus activity centers and demonstration comprehensive bases;
Fifth, strengthen coordination and cooperation. To carry out the pilot work of research travel, the education department should take the lead and actively coordinate with other government departments and industries. For example, museums should be free for students to study abroad, transportation departments should arrange special study tours, and education departments should pay attention to discovering, cultivating and popularizing typical examples. Pilots in different regions should also strengthen exchanges and mutual linkage, and establish Weibo (letter) groups to facilitate their work;
Sixth, documents are issued at the national level. The Ministry of Education will issue research travel documents in the form of notices or opinions on 20 15 to solve the problems that everyone cares about. Before the Ministry of Education issues the documents, we can forward several well-done provincial and municipal documents for your reference. In 20 15, a national joint conference on after-school education will be held, which should include study tour and dandelion action.
Seven, write the study tour into the work points of 20 15. Recently, the Ministry is working out the working points of 20 15, and the First Division of Basic Education should strive to write the study tour into the working points of the Ministry of Education, so that this work can be known throughout the country and the director can have a concept and idea about the study tour. It may be considered to hold the on-site meeting or exchange meeting of the pilot work of national research travel at an appropriate time in 20 15, and invite countries to attend, so as to further promote and deepen this work.
