A trilha histórico-natural: um espaço para promover o coletivismo entre os estudantes de Educação Física.

The research focused on strengthening the moral value of collectivism through the potential offered by physical recreation in the Santiago de Cuba region. The objective was to develop a system of educational activities to promote the moral value of collectivism in second-year Physical Culture students, based on the content of the course "Recreational Activities in Nature," specifically within the natural-historical trail. The study started from the lack of connection between natural and historical heritage during pedagogical processes related to outdoor recreational activities, making it necessary to establish clearer links between teachers' knowledge, local history, and nature as a vital part of basic professional training. Theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, and systemic-structural-functional analysis were used; empirical methods included observation, interviews, surveys, and self-assessment scales; and statistical-descriptive techniques were employed. The implementation of the study allowed for the development of theoretical and practical skills through natural-historical hiking, expressed in a values-based sports culture. Weaknesses and strengths of collectivism were identified, which served as the basis for designing the system of actions. The proposal was considered a valuable tool for training professionals committed to teamwork, collaboration, solidarity, cooperation, and shared participation; likewise, the contextualization of recreational content in terms of environmental and historical sustainability, within a comprehensive education.
