Abstract
Research travel represents an innovative educational model that integrates academic study with travel experiences. Its application in higher education effectively cultivates students’ comprehensive practical abilities and promotes their holistic development. In practice, students transcend traditional classroom boundaries by engaging in field observations and research activities to explore industry developments and resources within their professional domains. This approach enriches professional knowledge while allowing students to experience the unique charm of various landscapes. This paper examines the pathways for cultivating practical abilities in university students through research travel, analyzes its significant value in talent development, and proposes specific strategies for implementation. The objective is to enhance students’ practical abilities through research travel activities and provide novel insights and methods for talent cultivation in higher education.
