Abstract

Family travel has experienced significant growth in recent years, with an increasing emphasis on its educational benefits for children. However, limited research comprehensively reveals these benefits from the perspective of perceived value, considering children's diverse roles in various social contexts. Employing a family systems approach, this study interviewed 35 parents to investigate their perceived educational value of family travel for their children across three levels: the individual level (children's roles as individuals), the family level (children's roles within the family), and the societal level (children's roles within social contexts outside the family). Employing a hybrid thematic analysis, this study uncovers six overarching themes across these three levels. It is concluded that family travel holds significant personal and interpersonal educational value for children, which is both transferable and developmental in nature. This study contributes to a multi-level understanding of the educational value of family travel for children, offering insights for developing educational family travel products.

将家庭旅行作为一种教育体验：通过家庭系统方法揭示家长的多层次感知价值

近年来，家庭旅行经历了大幅增长，其对儿童教育的益处也日益受到重视。然而，考虑到儿童在各种社会环境中的不同角色，从感知价值的角度全面揭示这些益处的研究十分有限。本研究采用家庭系统方法，采访了 35 位家长，从三个层面调查他们对家庭旅行对子女教育价值的认知：个人层面（子女作为个人的角色）、家庭层面（子女在家庭中的角色）和社会层面（子女在家庭以外的社会环境中的角色）。本研究采用混合主题分析法，在这三个层面上发现了六个重要主题。结论是，家庭旅行对儿童具有重要的个人和人际教育价值，这种价值具有迁移性和发展性。本研究有助于从多层次理解家庭旅行对儿童的教育价值，为开发教育性家庭旅行产品提供启示。
