Abstract/Summary:
Since the reform and opening up,with the vigorous promotion of students studying abroad,the “foreign study tour” has gradually become a buzzword.Along with the development of China’s economy and the acceleration of globalization,more and more college students choose to “go out” during the holidays and conduct a short-term study tour to self-charge.The study tour location is close to Hong Kong,and as far as Europe is concerned,the study tour institutions have emerged in an endless stream.From the school to the private sector,the overseas study tour is quietly sweeping across China,becoming an emerging way of independent education for college students.As more and more people go abroad to study,the students who study abroad are also showing a trend of “Younger age”.At present,overseas study tours in primary and secondary schools have become the focus of current study tours.But behind this craze,there are also cold thoughts that cannot be ignored.What are the current status and problems of studying abroad in primary and secondary schools? How to better play the important role of studying abroad,not just making them famous but not academic? These are all we need to explore.In this study,questionnaire survey and interview method were used to survey 273 middle and senior students and 245 parents in Jinan X Elementary School in Shandong Province.Five students and 5 students were randomly selected from the above students and parents.The parents also randomly selected five teachers from the school who had extensive experience in traveling abroad and had a deeper understanding of the school’s study tour program.The study found that most of the primary school students(50.6%)have a more positive attitude towards foreign study abroad,have higher motivation and intention to study abroad,and 34.4% of primary school students are studying abroad.With low motivation and intention,very few primary school students(15.0%)have an ambiguous attitude towards studying abroad: neither expressly wants to study,nor expressly expresses that they do not want to study.Among them,the three aspects of "the determination to practice oral English","the attraction of going abroad to play" and "the psychological comparison between students" are important sources of motivation and intention of primary school students to study abroad.According to the results of the parents’ survey of foreign students’ interest in overseas study,there is no significant difference between the parents’ attitudes towards the primary school students’ overseas study and the motivation and tendency of the primary school students to study abroad.The parents with “positive attitude” have 32.3.The proportion of % with a “negative attitude” is the lowest,only 24.7%;the number of parents with a neutral attitude is the highest,accounting for 43.0%.It can be seen that compared with the motivation of most primary school students who want to study abroad,parents are obviously more neutral.The data of this study show that "family economic factors" "fear that students are too young,not mature enough" and "the burden of domestic students’ work is heavy,and want to help studentsreduce the burden" is an important reason for parents’ enthusiasm for primary school students to study abroad.In addition,according to the survey results of parents,teachers and students on foreign travel satisfaction and foreign study tours,parents and students are not very satisfied with the current foreign study tour programs,only 27.9%,not too much.The proportion of satisfied parents and students reached 41.1%,and the proportion of parents and students in the project was 31.0%.In summary,parents and students are not optimistic about the satisfaction of foreign study tours.The current shortcomings in overseas study tours can be summarized as follows: “replaying light play” or “replaying light tour”,foreign study tour content is too Single and foreign study market products are less and more chaotic.Studying abroad is an important way to enhance the exchanges between China and other countries in economic,political and cultural aspects.It is a project that is strongly promoted and developed by the state.The current domestic study tour policy is more relaxed than before,and students have more opportunities.Participate in overseas study tours.However,there are still many shortcomings and problems in the current study abroad system.In order to better help primary school students to gain more knowledge and experience in the process of studying abroad,and to better help the domestic study tour policy and study tour system to be more perfect,in response to the various problems and deficiencies in the foreign study tour system proposed in the above research,It is recommended to make corrections and improvements through the following countermeasures and suggestions: 1.Parents and students need to be mindful of studying abroad,based on the psychology of the comparison or based on the idea of ??adding brilliance to the student’s future resume and obtaining a good job salary.The mentality of the overseas study tour program is not advisable;2.Pay attention to the mutual integration of “tour” and “study”,and regard “learning and learning” as an important concept of study abroad;3.Manage the study tour market and develop different levels of study abroad.Projects,so that students from families with relatively poor economic conditions also have the opportunity to exchange and study abroad to promote educational equity;4.Enrich the content of foreign study tours,allowing students to learn more diverse knowledge while living with nature.;5.Enhance the primary management awareness of primary school students and enhance their self-management ability,thereby gradually reducing Dependent adults.
