Abstract

In recent years, study tours have quietly emerged as a trend in the silver market, becoming an innovative educational model to actively address aging. However, a survey of the elderly study tour courses offered by Guangdong Elderly University reveals that current study tours face issues such as low participation rates, vague course content and design, an inadequate evaluation mechanism, and a lack of professionalization in the teaching staff. To achieve high-quality development of elderly study tour courses, it is necessary to start with the deepening of course themes and content, diversification of the evaluation system, diversification of publicity strategies, and the construction of the teaching staff. This will enable true curriculum reconstruction, thereby improving the quality of elderly study tour courses and student satisfaction.
