A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo o conceito de Turismo pedagógico, focalizado em relações conceituais que possam emergir da análise desse binômio, tendo em conta particularmente o fato de “Turismo” configurar-se como termo nuclear da expressão. Assim tendo por suposto que, na constituição do binômio, cada um de seus elementos constitutivos encerra amplo e dinâmico espectro conceitual tecido por diferentes vieses teóricos, construídos igualmente em diversos percursos históricos, a investigação busca responder às questões: Na adjetivação do turismo como pedagógico, que concepções de turismo e que pressupostos epistemológico-pedagógicos estariam aí presentes? Essas concepções e esses pressupostos estariam sendo discutidos na literatura científica acessada em cujo foco está o binômio “Turismo pedagógico”? Sob esse prisma, o trabalho tem como objetivo identificar/explicitar configurações conceituais que assume a denominação “Turismo pedagógico” em proposições teóricas ou teórico-práticas presentes (e acessadas) na literatura científica (em que é tematizado o Turismo pedagógico), considerando, de um lado, abordagens conceituais de turismo e, de outro, relações que se estabelecem entre modelos epistemológicos e pedagógicos e, nesse sentido, proporcionar uma sistematização, no recorte temporal e bibliográfico metodologicamente estabelecido, da produção, no Brasil, do conhecimento a respeito – ou, mais especificamente, uma visão analítico-conceitual do entendimento que estudiosos do turismo mostram ter acerca do tema. De caráter qualitativo e de cunho exploratório bibliográfico, a pesquisa, mediante uma abordagem hermenêutica e recortes metodológicos operacionais, analisa doze artigos publicados no arco temporal de 2005 a 2012, em periódicos científicos brasileiros e/ou apresentados em eventos científicos consolidados na área do Turismo, de cujo título consta o binômio “Turismo pedagógico”. A análise realizou-se com base no processo de elaboração de definição, como o apresenta Garcia (2006), segundo o qual essa corresponde a uma proposição predicativa constituída de: Termo (definiendum), Cópula, Gênero (genus) e Diferenças (differentiae). Realizado o processo, chegou-se à formulação de uma definição de Turismo pedagógico para a qual convergiram o conjunto de autorias, a partir do que se procedeu à síntese interpretativa, sendo identificadas configurações conceituais de turismo, como também pressupostos epistemológico-pedagógicos que lhe estariam subjacentes. O estudo levou à proposição de discussão da própria denominação da atividade no âmbito escolar, assim como evidenciou recorrentes “deslizamentos conceituais” na abordagem do binômio, aportando, assim, sinalizadores da importância de que configurações conceituais relativas ao Turismo pedagógico sejam postas em discussão, principalmente face à constatação da permanência, ao longo do tempo, de concepções teóricas acompanhadas de algumas incongruências em relação às suas bases epistemológico-pedagógicas e aos vínculos estabelecidos com a prática escolar. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2014-11-18T15:28:02Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Francielle de Lima.pdf: 7847818 bytes, checksum: 7ffa92e986096a4ba4afe0b2e3be3de4 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-11-18T15:28:02Z (GMT).

Thus, supposing that in the constitution of this binomial, each of its constitutive elements contains a wide and dynamic conceptual spectrum, woven by different theoretical biases, which were built in diverse historical contexts, the research aims at answering the following questions: Which would be the concepts of tourism, and the epistemological-pedagogical presuppositions contained in the adjective “pedagogic”? Would these concepts and presuppositions be discussed on scientific literature with focus on “pedagogic Tourism”? From this viewpoint, this work has the aim of identifying/explaining conceptual configurations of the expression “pedagogic Tourism” in theoretical or theoretical-practical assumptions which are present (and accessed) in scientific literature (in which pedagogic Tourism is studied), considering, on one hand,conceptual approaches of tourism, and, on the other hand, relations which are established between epistemological and pedagogical models. In this sense, systematization will be provided, in time and bibliography, considering methodology of production in Brazil, as well as knowledge about it – or, more specifically, an analytical-conceptual vision of those who study tourism. This qualitative and bibliographic explorative research analyzes, through an hermeneutical approach and methodological operational cuts, twelve articles published between the years of 2005 and 2012, in scientific Brazilian journals and/or those which were presented in scientific events consolidated in the area of Tourism, in which title appears the expression “pedagogic Tourism”. This analysis was done based on the process of elaboration of a definition, as Garcia (2006) presents it. According to it, this is a predicative proposition composed of: Term (definiendum), Copula, Gender (genus), and Differences (differentiae). After the process was followed, it was arrived to a definition of pedagogical Tourism, to which a number of authors converged. From this, it was done an interpretative synthesis, identifying conceptual configurations of tourism, as well as pedagogical-epistemological assumptions which would be adjacent to them. This study led to the discussion of the name of the activity at school. It also evidenced repeated “conceptual errors” in this combination’s approach. This leads to signs of the importance of discussing conceptual configurations related to pedagogical Tourism, mainly those which remain in time, as well as theoretical conceptions followed by some incongruence related to their epistemological-pedagogical bases, and links established by school practice.

The proposal is to design an information and orientation facility, in the vicinity of Pretoria Station. The proposed design will involve a building that seeks to orientate a tourist/commuter on entering the city, whether it is for the first time or on a daily basis. The resulting environment will provide facilities for informing, waiting, relaxing, communication, eating, planning and other travel-related rituals. It is to be a hub of social activity that interacts positively with all users and passers-by, serving as a backdrop for everyday activities that occur at Pretoria Station.

This work is formally titles as a Project. / The focus of this project is on an area that appears to have been lacking in the teaching of German as a foreign language. The teaching of practical business knowledge and knowledge of everyday lifestyles has been limited to specific areas of study in most German language courses and related textbooks. The practical topics that have been covered in the German language classroom are those of value mainly to tourists.These topics are transportation, accommodation, shopping, and restaurants. Practical matters regarding finances and communication have been superficially covered. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to incorporate information on the finance and communication systems in Germany into a package for use in the foreign-language (FL) classroom. The major part of this project was the research conducted in Germany, and the preparation and the writing of the manual. The remainder of the project deals with a discussion on the relevance of the manual's content, the reasoning behind the manual's format, and use of the material in the manual and related authentic materials in the classroom. The information incorporated into the manual was gathered in Germany from interviews with personnel at each of the three institutions, from publications and forms used by each institution, and from trade magazines. The information in the manual is presented in a 'userfriendly' format in English. Relevant German terminology is provided in strategic locations to enable the reader to learn the concepts without being overwhelmed by the terminology. The reader's ability to speak German was also considered in the preparation of the manual. A basic grasp of German is desirable for the reader, however the information contained in the book can still be of use to people with no background in the German language. A draft of the manual's banking chapter was tested in a second-year German classroom, at the secondary school level. The test and its results are discussed in the theoretical portion of this work. / None / Master of Arts (MA)

Although manpower and educational planning have been used in some developing countries for a considerable time to ensure an adequate supply of qualified manpower for the economy, the problem of manpower shortages still persists. An analysis of the reasons underlying the presumed failure of planning processes to ensure adequate supplies of qualified manpower for individual sectors of the economy forms the basis of this study. The issue was examined through an examination of the case of one specific sector of Thailand's economy: the tourism industry. In particular, the study sought to ascertain whether the shortages are the result of problems with the national manpower and educational planning models or whether they reflect issues intrinsic to individual economic sectors. The study draws on the literature in three areas: manpower planning, the relationship between manpower and educational planning, and employment and manpower development planning in the tourism industry. To explore possible explanations for the persistence of manpower shortages in the Thai tourism industry, two kinds of data were used: documentary and interview data. The interviews were conducted with three groups of key informants: employers in the tourist business, providers of tourism education and training, and senior government officials who are involved in manpower and educational planning. A total of 85 people in four tourist centres in Thailand were interviewed. The analysis of the data confirms that there is a mismatch between manpower demand and supply in the Thai tourism industry with demand significantly surpassing supply. The study concluded that there are limitations in the manpower and educational planning models, and that there is a lack of some of the conditions required for their optimal functioning, but that the mismatch between supply and demand in the Thai tourism industry is more fully explained by features intrinsic to the industry itself. A Abstract balance between manpower demand and supply in any sectors would be improved by having manpower planning at the macro level well meshed with educational planning, and by developing linkages between two levels of planning: the national and industry level. More importantly, however, within the industry itself, those involved have to take a planning stance by diagnosing the way their own sector operates and collaborating to rectify the problems they find. This study has implications for policy and improved practice of the planning, production and development of manpower required by the Thai tourism industry. It also has lessons for other sectors of the Thai economy as well as other developing countries.

The current stage of tourism development reaches global scale, playing a «tourist village» in places that, through various qualities, have optimal conditions for entering the market of tourist destinations. In each component of the «World’s Geography» part, lurks the possibility that a museum, architectural, coral reefs, waterfalls, through deserts, abandoned nuclear plants or cemeteries, are transformed into tourist resources. This article aims to account for the powers presents the geographical discipline to intervene in the study of the tourism phenomenon. To this end, the convenience of combining the theoretical and methodological approach to enrich a geographic perspective on tourism that is not limited to mere description. / El estadio actual del desarrollo turístico alcanza la escala global, reproduciendo una «aldea turística » en aquellos lugares que, por diversas cualidades, presentan condiciones óptimas para insertarse en el mercado de destinos turísticos. En cada espacio componente de la «geografía del mundo» está latente la posibilidad de que un museo, conjunto arquitectónico, arrecifes de coral, cataratas, pasando por desiertos, centrales nucleares abandonadas o cementerios, se transformen en recursos turísticos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo dar cuenta de las facultades que presenta la disciplina geográfica para intervenir en el estudio del fenómeno turístico. Para tal fin, se postula la conveniencia de combinar enfoques teóricos y metodológicos para enriquecer una perspectiva geográfica sobre el turismo que no se limite a la mera descripción.

Nowadays, it is very important to study tourist loyalty and its influencing factors in the field of tourism research. After expatiating the importance of global tourism to regional development, this paper introduces the concept of tourism loyalty and its related influencing factors and tries to analyze how tourist loyalty is formed in Gotland tourism, so as to realize the sustainable development of the tourism industry on Gotland. The purpose of this study is to study the influencing factors of tourists' loyalty and to deepen tourists' impression and perception of Gotland. Through quantitative and qualitative research methods, this paper concludes that tourist destination knowledge, tourist perceived evaluation and satisfaction will have a positive impact on tourist loyalty. This paper can provide some references and basis for local tourism stakeholders to formulate tourism development strategies in the future.
