At present, the study tour in China is in the primary stage of development. Simple "education+tourism", extensive "explanation+visit", patchwork "theme+activities", random "scenic spots+teaching materials" and exaggerated "publicity+packaging" have led to the distortion and misunderstanding of the original intention of the study tour and turned it into "tourism, regularization, commercialization and utilitarianism"
Correctly understanding the connotation of research travel is the first priority at present. Research travel is a simple combination of education rather than research and travel experience, and it is by no means a broad combination of formal tourism and textbook knowledge. Study tour is an off-campus education course included in the teaching plan by the education department or school. Its essence is to let primary and secondary school students carry out research-based learning in the form of travel experience.
The core elements of research travel include educational ideas, teaching objectives, courses, teachers, environment, management, safety, travel and life services. As a kind of off-campus education, study tour is not only the task of the education department, but also the responsibility of the whole society.
Schools or education departments are obviously unable to support the traffic and safety supervision system for study tours. Therefore, it is the only way to do a good job in research travel to form a cooperative operation mechanism of government education function supervision, school organization teaching, social institutions participating in services, media and family supervision.
To carry out research travel, we should closely focus on the principles of education, practicality, safety and public welfare, open up the idea of running a school, untie the shackles of the wall, give play to market leverage, activate social resources, and carry out education with temperature and quality of life. The basic principles of research travel are not contradictory to the market mechanism, but must be organically combined, learn from each other's strengths, work together, give full play to the strength of the whole society, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of research travel.
The great rivers and mountains of the motherland are the experience fields for students to experience comprehensive quality. If the school is a paradise for students to learn knowledge, then the great rivers and mountains of the motherland are the experience fields for students to experience comprehensive quality. Research travel conforms to Mr. Tao Xingzhi's thought of "life education", which allows the majority of primary and secondary school students to integrate into the social classroom, feel in the experience, share in the feeling, reflect in the sharing, feel in the reflection, feel in the feeling and wake up in the feeling.
To carry out a good study tour, we must correctly handle and accurately grasp the essential relationship between ability and political integrity. In a certain sense, virtue can be understood as "virtue" and only then can it be understood as knowledge and ability. In the relationship between ability and political integrity, education should put morality first and morality first.
The purpose of study tour is to cultivate students' comprehensive qualities of morality, intelligence and ability. Knowledge is graphical and symbolic information, and its acquisition mainly depends on listening and reading; Skill is the information of procedural and coordinated movements, and its improvement mainly depends on practice and training; Virtue is situational, situational and emotional information, and the cultivation of virtue mainly depends on the effective link between subject experience and multiple experiences in specific situations and events. Research shows that knowledge and skills will be significantly improved with the increase of learning time and intensity, while virtue is not proportional to learners' learning time and intensity.
Beware of false research that only teaches knowledge and skills and weakens the cultivation of moral quality. In the study tour, we should properly handle the relationship between "knowledge" in knowledge education, "knowledge" in skill education and "willingness" in virtue education, so that virtue education can be integrated into explicit knowledge and skill education. The primary task of research travel is to educate people, and we should guard against false research that only focuses on imparting knowledge and skills and weakens the cultivation of moral quality.
Research travel is an experiential education, and both the base and the camp are the experience fields for students' comprehensive quality development. Let students use life events that are close to life in the virtual and real situations and situational interactions, and let the immersive travel experience nourish the hearts of primary and secondary school students who are eager to grow up.
