关于旅游教育学科类归属问题的探讨

A Discussion on the Classification of the Discipline of Tourism Pedagogy

旅游教育属于职业技术性质的教育。旅游教育学是研究旅游教育现象、规律、模式、内容、方法等的一门新兴学科。由于旅游教育的多学科交叉、综合等特点，要求创立旅游教育学，除了需要界定其本身的研究范围及相应的理论和方法外，还要研究与其相关的学科，如：教育学、经济学、管理学、文化学，以及它们的分支学科，如旅游经济学、旅游管理学、旅游文化学等，界定其各自的研究范围、理论和方法，这会有利于学科间相互借鉴、相互制约、共同发展。旅游学现已发展为独立的学科，旅游教育学仍划入“文科·外语类”已不适应需要。

Tourism pedagogy is a new discipline studying the phenomenon, the law, models, contents and methods of tourism education, Owing to the fact that tourism education is of cross discipline and comprehensive feature, it reguires us to establish tourism pedagogy. We must study its relevant scores of disciplines apart from defining its own scope of study as well as corresponding theory and methods. Tourism has now developed into a relatively independent science. It will not meet our needs if we still classify tourism education as “a category of foreign languages”. It is necessary to add a new discipline. This discipline should be classified as “tourism category”.
