This study aims to showcase how the curriculum of the study tour can currently be operated, including goals, content, teachers, and evaluation, as well as what the potential barriers are. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study through organizing site investigation and distributing questionnaires. The data were from 122 institutes of study tour in Zhejiang Province as the outstanding example. According to the results, we find that even though there are numerous study tour courses, the syllabi are not rigorous and the professional literacy of the teaching staff is low. Additionally, most study tour activities are carried out with lecturing or sightseeing, yet without practice, inquiry, or operation. Therefore, with the study tour being increasingly emphasized, more professional collaboration with schools and universities should be put on the agenda to enhance the prevailing curriculum.Fu-Rong SunTian-Zi XuMDPI AGarticlestudy tourpractical educationcurriculumqualitativequantitativeEnvironmental effects of industries and plantsTD194-195Renewable energy sourcesTJ807-830Environmental sciencesGE1-350ENSustainability, Vol 13, Iss 11969, p 11969 (2021)
