Turismo pedagógico virtual: proposta de uma coreografia didática de elaboração de roteiros virtuais para escolas

Abstract

Tourism is considered by many scholars to be a tool capable of mitigating problems present in capitalist societies. In addition to its role in economic development, this social phenomenon results in cultural and environmental preservation of the places where there is tourist exploitation. Considering that education is seen as one of the main responsible for the process of social change, it is understood that its association with tourism brings benefits to both areas and to society as a whole. Therefore, the present work sought to develop a didactic choreography to help teachers in the elaboration of virtual tours for educational tourism through a support material using the concept of didactic choreography, so that the process of elaboration of the tours can be similar to the production of a class, thus offering practicality to the teachers. We also tried to make the use of the proposal democratic, observing the multiple school realities. The methodology had a quantative character, with bibliographical research as the main means of obtaining data and concepts on which the final product was built. The theoretical framework includes concepts of tourism, scripting, education, hybrid teaching, information and communication technologies, and didactic methodologies. The proposal was presented to elementary and high school teachers who, in turn, tested the method by developing a lesson plan using virtual tourist routes as a teaching strategy. The opinion of the teachers helped to observe points that can be changed in the project and, mainly, to understand if it is possible to take it into the classroom.
