Eu ensino, tu ensinas? A experiência dos monitores no uso de metodologias ativas nas graduações em turismo e em hotelaria da Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

Monitoring projects at Higher Education Institutions attempt to contribute toward a better teaching‑learning process in that they provide for academic cooperation. Through active methodologies, where the teacher is no more the instigator of the content centraliser, but rather the student, this is quite possible. The aim of the study was to analyse how the active methodologies proposed by the Project “Active Methodologies in Tourism and Hospitality Graduation Courses”, at the UFPB have been accepted by student teachers, that is, course monitors. A questionnaire was applied to 27 monitors, from June through July, 2020. The research collected the ratio between monitors and students, between monitors and the course, between self‑managing career students and monitoring in the student’s reality. The conclusion is that active method‑ ologies with more dynamic teaching‑learning processes give better results. From the monitors’ perspectives, they are stimulating teaching practices which put the learning process in the hands of the students.
