Abstract

Este trabajo profundiza en la detección del grado de ajuste entre los conocimientos adquiridos en materia de TIC y los requerimientos demandados por las empresas del sector turístico a sus futuros profesionales. Los alumnos que acceden a la titulación de Turismo están familiarizados con el uso de las TIC pero no tienen los conocimientos suficientes para un adecuado manejo en un ámbito profesional. Por otro lado, la realidad del ámbito de la formación superior en estudios turísticos refleja una aparente necesidad de un mayor número de créditos que abarquen estos conocimientos y de un mayor número de plazas para cursarlos. Se realiza un estudio empírico en tres fases a los alumnos que realizan el practicum y a las empresas en que lo realizan. Los resultados apoyan la necesidad de optimizar los contenidos de las asignaturas genéricas de informática, contemplando las necesidades específicas de la empresa. A través de la interpretación de los datos obtenidos se establecen una serie de recomendaciones que pueden servir de apoyo a los docentes para optimizar el trabajo en el aula.


This study analyses to what extent the knowledge acquired in ICT field fits the requirements asked for the tourism sector companies. First-year tourism students become familiar with the use of many ICT devices but they do not have sufficient background for using it properly in a professional context. In addition, the reality of the higher education in tourism studies reflects an apparent need for a greater number of credits for ICT knowledge and a greater number of places to study it.

Hence, our aim is to evaluate the gap between the level- and the kind- of ICT knowledge acquired and the labour markets required one. For that purpose, we carried out a three-phase empirical study, based on the assessments of students and the enterprises where they do their “practicum” course. The results support the need to optimize computing and information management courses content in order to meet the specific needs of the companies. Finally, some recommendations arise for helping professors to optimize the class work.
