Abstract(s)
Analisar o papel educacional do turismo e a relevância da atividade turística
como ferramenta educadora capaz de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de
competências (inter)culturais em jovens estudantes, é o objetivo do presente trabalho,
que trata de um estudo de caso com jovens estudantes brasileiros dos 2.° e 3.° ciclos
do ensino básico, contemplando, também, a observação das populações envolvidas nas
atividades de cunho pedagógico elaboradas por agências de turismo especializadas e
praticadas por esses estudantes.
A partir do conceito de desenvolvimento de competência (inter)cultural e de
estudos sobre comunicação intercultural e os processos de aculturação e enculturação
decorrentes dessas relações, esta pesquisa pretende iluminar pontos de intersecção
entre o turismo e a educação e descortinar janelas de oportunidade para a
sensibilização das gerações futuras para a prática intercultural, promovendo empatia e
exercício da alteridade, que minimizam os processos de aculturação e as desigualdades
sociais. A partir de indicadores aplicados à educação para o turismo, foram analisados
os impactos das atividades turísticas de cunho educacional no desenvolvimento de
competências naqueles que participam direta ou indiretamente dessas atividades, assim
como os impactos nos ambientes visitados e nas populações anfitriãs. Trata-se de uma
pesquisa fundamental, qualitativa intensiva, com complementação de dados
quantitativos e técnicas mistas de recolha de dados, dada a diversidade etária e
sociodemográfica do público-alvo.
Este estudo pretende, portanto, identificar no Turismo Educacional, praticado
através da Escola, a potencialidade e responsabilidade que o turismo apresenta para
diversos setores da sociedade, nomeadamente no desenvolvimento de competências
necessárias ao longo da vida.
The focus of this dissertation is to investigate the educational role of tourism and its relevance as an educational tool for the development of young students’ (inter)cultural competence. This is a case study with young Brazilian students of the 2nd and 3rd cycles of basic education, also considering the observation of the populations involved in the pedagogical activities developed by specialized tourism agencies and undertaken by those students. From the concept of (inter)cultural competence development and other concepts about the intercultural communication, acculturation and enculturation processes that result from these relationships, this research aims to address intersection points between tourism and education and examine the opportunities that lie ahead for future generations which are interculturally aware, increasing empathy and exercising otherness, which reduce acculturation processes and social inequality. Stemming from indicators regarding to education for tourism, the present study examined the impacts of educational tourism activities in the (inter)cultural competence development of those who directly or indirectly participate in these experiences, as well as the impacts on the environments and in the host communities. This dissertation presents qualitative research, complemented by quantitative data with mixed data reception techniques, due to the age and sociodemographic diversity of the target audience. This study intends, therefore, to identify in Educational Tourism, practiced through schools, the abilities and responsibility that tourism presents in different sectors in society, namely in the development of lifelong competences.
