Resumen
El siguiente trabajo estudia las orientaciones curriculares de la educación técnica y
superior enfocadas en turismo impartidas en colegios técnicos profesionales y universidades
públicas en la provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica, y las contrasta con los tipos de desarrollo turístico
de la región. Se analiza la relación existente entre la capacitación y la enseñanza del turismo, los
contenidos curriculares a nivel técnico y superior, y las supeditaciones laborales de jóvenes de 16
a 25 en el mercado laboral al estudiar turismo. Se contrastan también los contenidos temáticos del
estudio del turismo a nivel técnico y superior con las realidades y necesidades de la región como tal.
Se parte de enfoques críticos de los distintos tipos de desarrollo turístico en América Latina y sus
consecuencias socioculturales en las poblaciones locales. Se sugieren, al mismo tiempo, y devenidas
del análisis curricular, transformaciones en la enseñanza del turismo en la provincia, de modo que el
fenómeno se estudie de maneras más abarcadoras y críticas.
This paper studies the curricular orientation of technical and higher education focused on tourism in technical and public universities in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It also contrasts this orientation with the types of tourism development existing in that province. In addition, the article analyzes the existing relationship between the training, the teaching of tourism, the curricular contents at a technical and higher level, and the job possibilities of young people aged 16-25 in the labor market. Moreover, the paper contrasts the contents of tourism programs at a technical and higher level with the social needs of the region. This paper is based on the critical approaches to tourism development in Latin America and the sociocultural consequences on local people. Finally, it suggests some changes in the teaching of tourism in Guanacaste so that more critical and encompassing approaches to the study of the field can become possible.
