Abstract

While the significance of family travel in facilitating children's informal learning is widely recognized, current research overlooks how children learn during such journeys. This study adopts social cognitive theory (SCT) as its theoretical framework and conducts a narrative synthesis of the fragmented environmental, behavioural, and personal factors influencing children's learning processes in family travel. The synthesis results in an SCT-informed integrative framework for understanding children's learning processes in the context of family travel, identifying existing knowledge gaps, and outlining future research directions. Furthermore, this integrative framework advances SCT by examining long-term, multi-contextual learning experiences in the informal learning setting. The findings of this study provide valuable insights and practical advice for parents and tourism professionals seeking to optimize the educational benefits of family travel for children.

儿童在家庭旅行中的学习过程：社会认知视角下的叙事回顾

尽管家庭旅行在促进儿童非正式学习方面的重要性已得到广泛认可，但目前的研究却忽视了儿童在这种旅行中是如何学习的。本研究以社会认知理论（SCT）为理论框架，对影响儿童在家庭旅行中学习过程的零散的环境、行为和个人因素进行了叙述性综合。综述的结果是建立了一个以 SCT 为基础的综合框架，用于理解儿童在家庭旅行中的学习过程，找出现有的知识差距，并勾勒出未来的研究方向。此外，这一综合框架通过研究非正式学习环境中长期、多情境的学习经历，推进了 SCT 的发展。这项研究的结果为家长和旅游专业人士提供了宝贵的见解和实用建议，帮助他们优化家庭旅行对儿童教育的益处。

The journal's editorial board consists of experienced international professionals and it shares the board with Tourism Management. The journal covers socio-cultural, technological, planning, and policy aspects of international, national, and regional tourism, as well as specific management studies. It encourages papers that introduce new research methods and critique existing ones in the context of tourism research. The journal publishes empirical research articles and high-quality review articles on important topics and emerging themes that enhance the theoretical and conceptual understanding of key areas within travel and tourism management.
