Abstract: French Abstract: El objetivo de este estudio es identificar el sistema educativo ecuatoriano, en particular su oferta educativa en turismo (OET), y analizar como esta formada y distribuida de acuerdo con distintos tipos (universidades y no universidades) y niveles (pregrado y posgrado). Especificamente, se analiza su relacion con la produccion de conocimiento cientifico en turismo en Ecuador por medio de la existencia de estructuras formales de investigacion (EFIT) vinculadas a la OET. La fundamentacion teorica presenta la discusion acerca de la sociologia de la educacion y la formacion profesional en turismo, asi como sobre estructuras institucionalizadas de produccion de conocimiento. Empiricamente, con base en los datos de la Secretaria de Educacion Superior, Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion (SENESCYT), se identificaron todas las instituciones de educacion superior del pais (IES), y por medio de las informaciones disponibles en sus sitios electronicos se determinaron las IES en las que habia oferta educacional en turismo y, vinculada a estas ofertas, la existencia de EFIT. El metodo fue desarrollado previamente por Pimentel y De Paula (2014). Como resultado y conclusion se evidencia que la oferta de OET y EFIT es altamente asimetrica en el pais. Tambien se encuentran discrepancias internas en las OET, pues predomina la oferta de carreras de grado cuya area tematica se concentra en el tema de economia y gestion. Por lo tanto, se observa la necesidad de buscar mas equilibrio en la OET en cuanto a sus tipos, niveles y areas tematicas.
English Abstract: The objective of this study was to identify the Ecuadorian educational system, in particular its educational offer in tourism (EOT) and to analyze how it is formed and distributed according to different types (universities and non-universities) and levels (undergraduate and postgraduate). Specifically, it analyzes its relation with the production of scientific knowledge in tourism, in Ecuador, through the existence of formal research structures (FRST) linked to the EOT. The theoretical basis presents the discussion on the sociology of vocational education and training in tourism, as well as on institutionalized structures of knowledge production. Empirically, all the institutions of higher education of the country (IHE) were identified according to the data of the Secretaria de Educacion Superior, Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion (SENESCYT), and through the information available on their websites, the ihe in which there was education offer in tourism and linked to this offer the existence of first. The method was previously developed by Pimentel and De Paula (2014). As a result, and conclusion, it has been evidenced that the offer of EOT and FRST is highly asymmetric in the country. Internal discrepancies were also identified for EOT, as the offer of the degree courses predominates, whose thematic area focuses on the subject of economy and management. Therefore, there is a need to seek more balance between EOT, its types, levels and thematic areas.
