Abstract

Summary of the results of the research which aimed to diagnose/analyze the knowledge developed on Leisure in Tourism Undergraduate courses in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The methodology included literature review, analysis of documents and interviews with 24 coordinators and 21 professors from 25 institutions. The results showed that for all respondents, leisure and tourism are interconnected. It was found an emphasis on teaching, through the disciplines, with a few actions related to research and extension. It was possible to perceive the existence of a conceptual confusion between the terms "leisure" and "recreation" by some respondents. It can be noticed the importance of overcoming the instrumental view of leisure which has characterized the pedagogical practices in the context of the courses surveyed, in order to achieve a more critical and reflective education in Tourism.
