Family trip as an educational event: Operationalization of the concept

the article is devoted to the operationalization of the «family travel as an educational event» concept from the standpoint of domestic psychological and pedagogical experience. The study relevance is due to the need to deepen the scientific reflection of the problem of the tourist travel influence on the pedagogical task solution for developing social qualities of the individual. The theoretical and empirical arguments are given, allowing us to define a family trip as an educational event organized for the purpose of personal co-development of all family members. The author's methodology for developing a family trip presented in the article is illustrated by an example of determining the pedagogical meaning and designing the conditions for achieving a possible pedagogical result of joint activities of members of a traveling family. Thus, the study solves the problem of the praxeological gap existing in pedagogical research on the topic of family tourism. The argumentation is given for choosing the destination of a family trip (Arkhangelsk region) and forming the content of each stage of designing and implementing the route (problematization, conceptualization, preparation and participation in the event, reflexive stage). The conclusion is made about the significant prospects of research of phenomenological orientation at the junction of scientific disciplines (pedagogy and a number of scientific fields with the subject area of «family tourism»). The theoretical contribution of the study is the methodological substantiation of the methodology of pedagogical design of a family trip as an educational event and the methodology itself. The novelty lies in the interrelation of the content and technologies of organizing and conducting a family trip with the achievement of specific pedagogical results and in defining all family members as subjects of the educational event. The theoretical and practice-oriented conclusions presented in the article may be of interest to researchers in the field of pedagogy and tourism, organizers of educational activities, representatives of the professional sphere of tourism.
