Formação técnica e tecnológica: aproximações e distanciamentos no eixo turismo, entretenimento e lazer

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand the approximations and distances in technical and technological training in the area of tourism at IFPE. Thus, a documental research with a qualitative approach was carried out, based on the study of national catalogs of technical and technological courses, as well as the pedagogical projects of technical courses in cooking and lodging and technological courses in gastronomy and hospitality. The analysis was based on content analysis, starting from the categories of training and knowledge to understand the constitution of the verticalization of training in the tourism, hospitality and leisure axis. The results indicate that there is approximation in the training proposal on the axis studied in both training levels in the catalogs researched, as well as in the constitution of the curricular components of the courses. It is also added that the training proposals focus on operational knowledge in training, considering the menus of the components studied. A gap can be seen in the aspects related to the professional profile and the field of activity of the courses in the area of food and accommodation in this axis. In this way, there is a need to reflect on which professionals the IFPE seeks to train in the researched axis, aiming at the construction of a critical and reflective knowledge that promotes the promotion of tourist activity in a humanized and sustainable way.
