PEREZ, Óscar; AZPELICUETA CRIADO, María del C.  and  SANCHEZ-FERNANDEZ, María D.. Analysis of the trip as one of the transforming axes of the educational process. Universitas [online]. 2019, n.30, pp.63-78. ISSN 1390-8634.  https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n30.2019.03.

The association of the term “trip” to words such as amusement, erudition, journey, leisure, vacation..., being added in recent years to the entry of concepts as important as interculturality or social responsibility and new ways of sharing hobbies, ideas and sensations, provoke that this locution of a qualitative leap and broadened its meaning, including in the educational field (Aguerrondo, 2008). The broad conception of tourism, as understood in our Western Europe, is born from the postwar World War II, accelerating its development from the 1960s (Salgueiro, 2002), although we have dates that between the end of the century 16th and the 17th-18th centuries there was a key approach: the use of the trip to train wealthy university students of basically private schools, who for one or two years embarked on the Mediterranean adventure to learn about the origins of Western European culture, located in Italy and Greece. This travel paradigm was called “The Grand Tour” (Katharina-Lau, 2012). The present work makes an approximation to how the trip can be one of the transforming axes of the educational process, applying processes of proactivity and interaction that allow a better formation to the student for his later entry to the working world. The methodology used has an exploratory character with a systematized analysis of multiple and varied scientific publications, which allow to support a constructive future on the educational journey.
