If the research is done well, it is very beneficial to students.
Research is an organized, planned and purposeful practical activity carried out by students outside the school. It is a combination of research study and travel, and the purpose of "research" is achieved through travel.
The purpose of the research is to let students understand the society, find the connection between learning and society, broaden their horizons, expand their thinking and avoid learning knowledge.
Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. In fact, the ancients had the tradition of "study tour". Great poets like Li Bai and Du Fu all had the experience of "studying for ten years and roaming for ten years". After reading a book at a certain stage, they will travel and go to social universities for another form of study. How can a real scholar not care about society?
Learning has many advantages: changing the way of learning and stimulating children's interest; Broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge. ...
I still remember when I was in primary school, probably in the fourth grade. My teacher led us to visit Gongyikang Million Manor and Songfu Cemetery, which are not too far away from home. For a primary school student who has never been to a county, such activities are really eye-opening and knowledgeable: Kang Million's struggle history and family history, Song Ling's stone, and the life experience of the great poet Du Fu, all of which can't be learned in textbooks! More importantly, we know that there is a more wonderful world outside, which is worth our efforts to discover.
If the research is mixed with too many commercial elements and pursues interests too much, it is likely to become stale.
The booming research has made enterprises sensitively smell business opportunities. Travel agencies have launched research travel programs. Some travel agencies cooperate with schools and extracurricular counseling institutions to simply package travel programs and turn them into so-called study tours, but the prices are much more expensive than before.
Blindly pursuing interests, many problems appear.
1. Only "swim" without "learn".
If you carefully look at some so-called "study tours" in the travel itinerary, you will find that this is just a tour of the travel itinerary, just adding a few attractions to visit universities and museums! What do students want to learn? What is the combination of "learning" and "traveling"? How to achieve the purpose of "learning"? What forms and methods are used to "learn"? I don't know.
This kind of research is actually a trip under the guise of "research". Even some institutions will shorten the time for students to visit or even give up a valuable visit because of the tight time and the large number of tourists.
2. Only "talk" without "research".
Some so-called "research" takes "understanding the historical stories behind the scenic spots" as the core of the research, that is, when visiting the scenic spots, the tour guide or teacher explains some relevant historical knowledge, but only moves the classroom explanation to the scenic spots. Where is the "research" of "inquiry learning"? What is the theme of the study? What kind of research purpose should be achieved? How to organize students' research? In what form do you study? Do you need to submit a research report? I can't see it at all
Conclusion:
At present, the research projects are not standardized enough, and the design and research and development are far from the real "research learning". The future research travel market will face the dual choice of development and elimination.
Real research requires students to have the ability of inquiry learning and the corresponding ability of observation, thinking, analysis and summary. Personally, I think junior high school students are more suitable, and primary school students don't have this ability.
Therefore, parents don't have to blindly compare, they can choose a study tour according to their own and their children's needs.
