Research travel is very popular: how to read the bigger world in a walking classroom.

What's the story behind ski jumping? How did the water cube turn into ice in curling competition? How did Xue Youlong and Xue Yanfei build in Yanqing? Yu Huiqing, a travel instructor of Zhongxin Tourism Group, was busy making plans and routes for a series of activities in the Winter Olympics when he learned that the travel instructor had become one of the new occupations announced by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. By then, the summer vacation is approaching and the study tour will enter the peak season.

Feel the forest succession and biodiversity in the mountains, appreciate the splendid artistic charm of stone carvings in caves, and explore the mysteries and magic of science in science and technology museums ... When "reading thousands of books" and "taking the Wan Li Road" meet and merge, a way of traveling and a way of learning collide-research.

Some people say that once, books were children's world. Now, the world is a children's book. The change of ideas has made research travel popular in recent years. Walking in the classroom, every brick, tile, grass and tree are vivid and three-dimensional books, from which children can see the greatness of heaven and earth and grow all the way.

It should be both meaningful and interesting.

Study, not travel.

Nowadays, study tour has become a new tourism fashion in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. There are poems on the edge of Yangguan products, natural scenery in the magic sand spring of crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain and mural art in Mogao Grottoes. The study fever in Dunhuang is like a window. When people open the window, they see a bigger landscape-nationwide, with the arrival of summer vacation, studying and traveling has become a popular option for travel.

For this phenomenon, Yu Huiqing, who entered the tourism industry in 2002 and experienced the process of research travel from germination to development, is no stranger. "At first, study tour didn't have such a clear name and goal. Mainly in the form of summer camp and winter camp. At that time, the ideas were basically language learning, scenic spots and international exchanges. With the deepening of the concept of study tour and research, we have gradually added more self-owned courses from directly selecting other people's resources, so that students can combine existing knowledge with study tour. " With the addition of more and more courses, Yu Huiqing gradually realized that research is a systematic subject. "Now we are more engaged in the design, development and implementation of our own research courses, to understand children's needs, to clarify course center Thought, to integrate the resources of travel destinations, to pave the way, guide, experience and think about the courses, and to form meaningful and interesting research projects." Yu Huiqing said.

From the purposeful and conscious educational activities and the expressions of meaningful and interesting project experiences, it can be seen that the study tour carrying knowledge transfer is destined to be a well-planned walking classroom, not a walk-away trip.

Pay attention to participation and experience.

What kind of study trip do we need today?

Specific to the activity plan and route design, there should be more and more detailed considerations-how can we learn the knowledge points of three parallel rivers? How to know a variety of plants and understand their characteristics? How to observe birds and get familiar with their habits? How to better understand biodiversity? How to reflect the significance of Gaoligong Life Corridor? How to arouse students' initiative in learning? How is it more interesting? Yu Huiqing added activities such as letting students talk about plants, watching birds and drawing birds by themselves, as well as going to the mountains for picnics, climbing trees, soaking in wild hot springs and selling local muffins as a salesman, so that children can have more experiences. The course teachers are all native Yunnan people, graduated from botany and have a lot of experience in leading research.

It is conceivable that after such a trip, participants can not only learn about biodiversity, but also learn about local customs and culture. After that study, what pleased Yu Huiqing most was that the children learned the shapes, classifications and characteristics of about 50 kinds of plants. Their curiosity exploded. Many people can't help wondering what a tree is when they see it on the road. In the tree climbing activity, more than 20 people climbed from 3 pm to 8 pm. It was dark and they had to climb with flashlights. It was fun and fun! The excitement and exploration of teenagers left a deep impression on her.

Walking on the road, harvest and growth are also on the road. 2 1 Liu, the head of the research project of the Century Institute of Education and the founder of Berger Research, believes that the research places special emphasis on participation and autonomy. The difference between research courses and school courses is that students have a lot of room for autonomous learning and decision-making. They have decision-making power and sense of participation, so they will be more interested and motivated to learn.

What kind of research do we need today? The answer is ready to come-quality control of content design, route formulation, process evaluation, summary feedback and other links. Guaranteed by a professional team, the educational function and knowledge will run through the research trip, so that children can see and fully feel the bigger world, have a deep experience and a full sense of harvest in the process of "integration of knowledge and practice", and truly study, think, travel and harvest.

The person in charge of Ctrip said that he hopes to help young people build stronger cultural self-confidence through better study tour products, so that young people can study and practice with topics and learn the methodology of independent thinking and problem solving.

Read thousands of books on Wan Li Road.

Research, how to clap your seat?

With the arrival of summer vacation, study tour continues to heat up. The theme of this year's research activities is more clear. Themes such as hiking in the desert and stargazing are more popular with parents and children. Historical humanities, such as museums and the Silk Road, and scientific exploration, such as watching rocket launches, have become more popular. Ctrip has launched hundreds of parent-child and research tourism products, the number of which is 20 19 1.5 times.

In recent years, during the winter and summer vacations, study tour has become a "standard" for many families. In particular, the requirement of all-round development of comprehensive quality and the implementation of the comprehensive "double drop" policy have greatly released market demand, expanded the market space for research and study tours, and become an important growth point of cultural tourism consumption. At the same time, however, in the rapidly developing research travel market, there are a large number of extensive and poorly experienced products.

"At present, the research market is in a period of rising or barbaric development. All kinds of institutions are doing this. Although it is an inevitable stage of industry development, there are indeed problems such as uneven levels. " Liu said:

In Hui Qing's view, on the one hand, many institutions engaged in research activities are still in the stage of exploration and tempering, with insufficient talent reserve and unstable personnel level, and there is a big gap between the research plan presented in reality and the ideal. On the other hand, parents' understanding of the research is not thorough enough. Some parents don't understand what kind of research their children need, and they are afraid that their children will suffer when doing research tasks.

How to study thousands of books well on Wan Li Road, and make the study tour applaud and be a great success? Zhang, a senior researcher at Tongcheng Research Institute, pointed out that products are the core of research travel. Curriculum design should be designed by age groups to avoid homogenization, improve service ability and user experience, and constantly stimulate market potential. To make a truly acclaimed and well-received research travel product, we must combine professional educational knowledge, tourism resources and mature business models to meet the released market demand. At the same time, relevant policy support, regulatory measures and industry norms also need to be gradually improved.

"Research should develop different courses for different audiences, train a group of outstanding research talents, and make research courses constantly new. In addition, it is necessary to formulate local standards and national standards for the construction, reception, management and service of research camps, strictly assess grades, establish supervision mechanisms, and implement dynamic management. " Shi suggested that when parents choose research products for their children, they should choose standardized, qualified and well-received research institutions and choose suitable projects according to their interests. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the background, qualifications and professionalism of the teachers, because only professional teachers can let children really gain more and more comprehensive knowledge.

Liu believes that for the healthy development of the industry, it is necessary to introduce local or national standards for research travel courses, and write the standards in writing to make research travel products more standardized. At present, the research travel tutor is promoted as a new profession, and many colleges and universities have also set up related majors, which will provide more sufficient and professional talent reserves for the research travel market. Research institutions should design courses more carefully, so that the characteristics of research travel destinations can be better combined with teaching, and characteristics should be made instead of sameness. Standardization, standardization, specialization and subdivision are the development directions of research travel.
