Abstract

This research presents a reframing of tourism and hospitality teaching and assessment quality assurance in a post-COVID-19 higher education landscape. It does this as a timely and opportune moment to reflect on why and how higher education assessments should be framed through a Blue Ocean Strategy for disciplines such as tourism and hospitality to formulate radical changes in an environment that has long been dominated by using examinations to assess learning. To explore potential solutions, this research traces the journeys of 16 Chinese academics transitioning as educators before and during the outbreak of COVID-19. The findings revealed how the pandemic hastened the replication of face-to-face teaching and assessments into an online mode. However, other essential skills, such as graduate employability, remain implicit as the influences on students’ competencies for the post-pandemic industry needs more exploration. Derived from these outcomes is a conceptual framework around a Blue Ocean Strategy to repurpose the role of assessments to prompt broader conversations and debates about the theory and practice of tourism and hospitality assessments towards desired futures.
在COVID-19后的高等教育环境中重新制定旅游和酒店评估战略
这项研究提出了新冠肺炎疫情后高等教育形势下旅游和酒店教学与评估质量保证的重新定义。这是一个及时而恰当的时机,可以反思为什么以及如何通过旅游和酒店等学科的蓝海战略来制定高等教育评估,以在长期以来以考试评估学习为主的环境中做出根本性的改变。为了探索潜在的解决方案,本研究追踪了16名中国学者在新冠肺炎爆发前和爆发期间转变为教育工作者的历程。研究结果揭示了疫情如何加速了面对面教学和评估向在线模式的复制。然而,其他基本技能,如毕业生的就业能力,仍然是隐性的,因为对学生在疫情后行业能力的影响需要更多的探索。从这些成果中产生了一个围绕蓝海战略的概念框架,以重新调整评估的作用,促使人们就旅游和酒店评估的理论和实践进行更广泛的对话和辩论,以实现预期的未来。
