Contribuições do curso superior tecnólogo em Gestão de Turismo de um instituto federal, para a formação do sujeito ecológico

Abstract

This dissertation discusses the contributions of the Technological College Degree in Tourism Management of the Federal Institute of Pernambuco – Campus Recife – to the formation of the Ecological Being. The theoretical basis of this research is based on the relationship between Tourism and Sustainability, Environmental Education, Ecopedagogy and Ecological Being, which shows a process of building an ecological awareness. From the systematization of data, both documentary research and talk wheels, it can be ensured that the Technological College Degree in Tourism Management contributes significantly to the formation of the ecological being, through the structure of the curriculum, in which the curricular components present transversality through their contents and practices. We also emphasize the presence of environmental knowledge, which include, in their pedagogical practices guided by teachers, experiences in the application of good environmental practices. This form of knowledge appropriation acquired during the course points to a manager with attitudes of an Ecological Being. This proposal, therefore, has as its fundamental element the approach of some theorists regarding Ecopedagogy and the development of educational practices aimed at planetary sustainability.
