Abstract

El The aim of this study was to explain the experience of a journey of educational tourism from a mixed perspective of research through a sequential explanatory design (DEXPLIS), with the first phase of quantitative explanatory type and pre-experimental design, followed by a qualitative phase of autobiographical type and narrative design. The participants were 37 students from the fifth cycle of a professional school of accounting from a Peruvian university. The instruments used were the scale of positive and negative affect in the Peruvian version (SPANAS) for the quantitative phase and a narration guide for the qualitative phase. The quantitative results showed that there was a significant change (p < 0.05) in the mood of the participants and the qualitative results confirmed and expanded those findings, providing an empirical basis for the application of learning experiential educational tourism.
