ABSTRACT The purpose of this reflective, conceptual, and narrative article is to illuminate the promise of story in nurturing moral development, specifically in relation to nature and cultural difference, in and through tourism education. Representing both a reflection on and extension of Zachary’s experience in a graduate level course on Indigenous Knowledges taught primarily through stories, the paper traces how story enabled Zachary to shift into, or sense, new onto-epistemological perspectives relating to nature and begin to question his assumptions, privilege, and responsibilities. We focus in on the story of Mutandum – a narrative of transformation and connection – written by Zachary, which was constructed to represent his relationship to learning during the graduate course. In telling this story, and situating and reflecting on the narrative contexts within which it was crafted, we show the enabling promise of story as a moral pedagogical and epistemological tool. We argue that learning through story has much to offer tourism curricula, especially those focused on preparing values-engaged students with the competencies to take on the multitude of ethical issues in tourism and effectively navigate the moral encounters that arise in our tourism worlds.

旅游教育中的故事与道德发展

摘要这篇反思性、概念性和叙事性文章的目的是阐明故事在培养道德发展方面的前景，特别是在旅游教育中和通过旅游教育与自然和文化差异相关的方面。该论文反映了扎卡里在主要通过故事教授的土著知识研究生水平课程中的经验，并追溯了故事如何使扎卡里转变为或感知与自然相关的新本体认识论观点，并开始质疑他的假设、特权和责任。我们专注于由 Zachary 撰写的 Mutandum 的故事 - 一种转变和联系的叙述，该故事旨在代表他在研究生课程期间与学习的关系。在讲述这个故事时，并定位和反思其制作的叙事背景，我们展示了故事作为道德教学和认识论工具的有利前景。我们认为，通过故事学习对旅游课程有很大帮​​助，尤其是那些专注于培养价值观参与型学生的课程，这些学生有能力处理旅游中的众多伦理问题，并有效地驾驭旅游世界中出现的道德问题。
