The Geography Curriculum Standards for Ordinary Senior High Schools (2017 Edition, 2020 Revision) explicitly emphasize the cultivation of geographical practical competence. As a significant form of inquiry-based learning, research study programs not only enhance students' practical abilities but also deepen their understanding of human-environment relationships within authentic geographical contexts, thereby elevating their core geographical literacy. Grounded in the high school geography curriculum standards and leveraging the unique geological and geomorphological resources of the Zhangzhou Coastal Volcanic Geopark, this paper constructs a systematic research study activity framework through field investigation, observation, and survey methods. The design encompasses resource analysis, curriculum standard alignment, activity planning, and evaluative reflection. The study aims to explore a practical competence-oriented design pathway for research study programs, providing an operational model reference for coastal volcanic geomorphology field studies.
