Deployment of Tourism and Local History Activities to Enhance Students’ Socialization Skills
Bibliographic Data
The purpose of the study is to develop and test a methodology for organizing tourism and local history activities aimed at increasing the socialization skills of high school students. The study, which involved tenth graders from two classes (control and experimental group), was conducted. There were 200 students participating, with each school class being divided equally into a control and experimental group. The study was conducted in four Russian schools, and the experiment lasted for 6 months. The Rogers‐Diamond methodology and a questionnaire were used to study the level of socialization of participants before and after the intervention. The results obtained for the six subscales of the questionnaire were compared using Student’s t test to check for statistically significant differences. It was found that for all subscales, the results of the experimental group that received the intervention developed during the study with tourism activity and the study of local history were significantly higher than before the intervention and significantly higher than in the control group. This suggests that the proposed methodology for organizing tourism and local history activities is capable of increasing the socialization skills of high school students. The indicators obtained showed the level of student socialization, which appeared to be higher in the experimental group than in the control group. The proposed methodology can be used when conducting tourism and local history studies at high school
