From the implementation of national policies to the upgrading of education, the two words of research and study tour constantly appear in people's vision.

But for research and study Tours, most parents are still in a vague state, not clear what the difference between the two, which is more suitable for their children. Maybe the parents will think that it's not all the same, it's not all out to play, what's the difference? You'd be wrong to think so.

Today, we will talk about the two topics of research and study tour, so that everyone has a deeper understanding of the two.

To put it simply, research and study Tours are both ways of learning for the purpose of education, and both are a way to get out of the campus and away from the textbooks.

The difference lies in the words "study" and "swim".

Research

Research with targeted learning, each research activity is to go out with the target problem, bring the classroom content to the outdoors, in the way of content + experience to teach children.

For example, our group includes "English classroom" research, STEM curriculum research, AI curriculum research, art research, and research visits to specific universities.

In addition to the above fixed types of research, small groups can also customize their own research group itinerary according to different research goals to enhance a specific skill or learning ability.

From a child's point of view, most children's nature is still willing to explore, more active. The content and teaching mode of the classroom are relatively boring, and the atmosphere is not very active, which can not stimulate the fun of learning for children. Easy to read "dead book" can not be flexibly used.

The fundamental educational concept of research is to let children better connect textbook knowledge with life, with the main purpose of transmitting knowledge.

The method is to use the knowledge in the textbook to let the children learn and develop their interests in the form of outdoor research, and finally return to the textbook to combine their cognition with the content of the textbook to achieve the best learning and understanding effect.

Study Tour

Study Tour refers to more activities that aim to experience, feel and learn local culture and history, relax body and mind, and broaden knowledge.

It has a higher degree of freedom, focusing on cultural experience and cultivating interest.

For example, common summer study Tours, winter vacation study Tours, May Day/National Day study Tours, etc., of course, if it is a study tour abroad, it is generally interspersed with English courses. Interrupt: Our summer vacation study tour group is hot registration!

From the point of view of the popular study Tours a few years ago, the biggest problem that study Tours are not optimistic about and accepted is that the situation of "less learning during travel" and "learning on behalf of travel" is relatively common, especially for young people to study abroad, many are the slogan of study Tours as travel, and the effect of sightseeing is obvious.

The real study tour is to expand abroad as the direction, appreciate the cultural characteristics of different countries, broaden their horizons, cultivate their own interests and hobbies.

 From the above explanation of the difference between research and study Tours, we can see that parents can choose study Tours if they want their children to broaden their knowledge, develop interests and hobbies, and relax, but if they want to extend some school learning content, enhance learning interest, and expand knowledge, research is your best choice.

In the current broad sense, in fact, there is no strict distinction between "study tour" and "research study", but for different study tour groups or research products are named, more or according to their own needs to choose the right itinerary.

"Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles" whether it is research or travel, both are for this idea and move forward, for children, no matter which form is to cultivate their own enthusiasm for learning, and the rest of the choice depends on their own goals as a starting point.
