Abstract

Academic activities and projects at the National University are linked to outreach, research, teaching, and/or production. The objective was to present the pedagogical learning experiences of students in the bachelor’s program in Recreation and Tourism Management in an academic activity linked to the promotion of healthy lifestyles through comprehensive development in times of COVID-19 among local institutions. After coordinating the initial processes for developing academic activities among institutions, such as exploration, promoting workshops, and providing information, project-based learning was promoted within the 2021 first and second cycle programs of the Recreation and Tourism Management program. This learning would be put into practice in the open classroom. After informing the students of the procedures to be followed in the academic activity, various products and activities were developed from each course. Students in the Recreation and Tourism Management program who participated in the learning and development of the academic activity, learned how to build a trail and conduct mountain biking events on it during the first semester. In the second semester, 57 students participated in recreational activities with different populations and were also able to apply their knowledge of trail interpretation and map use. In addition, two students from the Recreation and Tourism Management and Office Administration programs completed supervised internships as part of the academic activity. Pedagogical learning experiences in an academic activity strengthen students' practical knowledge are significant learns. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen outreach projects where students can participate and put their knowledge into practice.
