- Abstract
Parent-child tourism has become one of the fastest growing tourism markets in China. The norm “good kids”, a common basic expectation of Chinese parents for their children, is a social topic worthy of attention in parent-child tourism studies and is of great importance to the research of children’s education. This study takes social discourses surrounding “good kids” in parent-child tourism as a starting point, and focuses on the process of parent-child interaction, exploring the relationship between the tourism experience of parents and children and children’s education. Drawing on the theory of phenomenological pedagogy, it adopts the research methods of semi-structured interviews and focus-group interviews, and includes data of children’s paintings and compositions, and parents’ WeChat moments. The researchers underline continuous research reflection, and adjust the data collection work according to the preliminary analysis results. The cycle of data collection and analysis continues until the information is saturated and key concepts are extracted. The basic behavioral interaction structure in parent-child tourism is sorted out as the actions of “good parents” such as “suspending school”, “seeing the world”, “respecting preferences”, and the performances of “good kids” such as “not running around”, “playing thoroughly”, “playing to learn”, “keeping good state” and “giving face”. It further points to the core interactive form centering on children’s education—“two- way” emotional interaction— that is not only a means to achieve the goal of children’s education, but should also be one of the goals of education. The significance of the “two-way” emotional interaction in parent-child tourism lies in that “good kids” and “good parents” could more fully express their differentiated demands in the context of tourism, breaking from the routine and ambiguity in everyday interaction. This “two-way” emotional interaction also reveals the essential connotation of parent-child education is common growth. The methodological and theoretical significance of this study are twofold. Firstly, this study takes the everyday discourse of “good kids” as a starting point to explores its associated travel experiences. This research approach, grounded in daily life, possesses significant methodological value as it allows us to uncover the educational significance that is often overlooked beneath people’s habitual life appearance, thus leading to a more authentic and direct impact on individuals. Secondly, the “two-way” characteristic of interaction highlights the significance of parent-child tourism on emotional “parent-child education” rather than on the general “children’s education”, and contributes to the integration of parent-child tourism and education in practice.
