What is a study tour? What does this mean?

According to the regional characteristics, students' age characteristics and the needs of teaching contents in various disciplines, the school organizes students to go out of campus through group tours and centralized accommodation, so as to broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge, deepen their closeness to nature and culture, and increase their experience of collective lifestyle and social morality.

Study tour has inherited and developed the traditional educational concept and humanistic spirit of "reading thousands of books and traveling Wan Li Road" in China, and has become a new content and new way of quality education. Improve the self-care ability, innovative spirit and practical ability of primary and secondary school students.

20 14 On April 9th, Wang Dinghua, Director of the First Division of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, delivered a keynote speech entitled "The New Situation of Basic Education in China and Dandelion Action Plan" at the 12th National Forum of Basic Education Schools. At the meeting, he first put forward the definition of research travel: the combination of research study and travel experience, and the organized, planned and purposeful off-campus visit experience and practical activities that students collectively participate in. The research should be carried out in groups with grades and classes as units. Under the guidance of teachers or counselors, students determine the theme, take the curriculum as the goal, experience together in the form of hands-on and learning by doing, engage in group activities, discuss with each other, write a research diary, and form a research summary report.

Director Wang also put forward "two don't count, two count" according to the characteristics of study tour: the first feature is that some interest groups and community activities, chess competitions and campus culture arranged outside the school are not in line with the scope of study tour. The second feature is intentional organization. It is a purposeful and conscious educational activity that affects students' physical and mental changes. If you go out for a walk in twos and threes on weekends, it's not a study tour. The third feature is group activities. Group activities are carried out in grades, classes and even schools, and students will work together and discuss with each other with their experiences under the guidance of teachers or counselors. This is a study trip. If a child follows his parents to a different place, it is only a trip. The fourth characteristic is personal experience. To be a middle school, students should have experience, not only to have a look and turn around, but also to have the opportunity to practice, think, talk and express. Under certain circumstances, there should be confrontation drills, escape drills, some strength, some sweat, and even seeing the world through the wind and rain.
