Since higher education may not be able to meet all the demands and needs of the hospitality industry; such institutions struggle to provide students with the necessary critical thinking skills. Authentic assessment is one possible strategy, which is recognized, to develop critical thinking skills amongst hospitality graduates. Hence, the purpose of this research is to explore to what extent authentic assessment enables critical thinking skills amongst first-year students in hospitality financial management. This article employed a qualitative case study research design within an interpretative lens. Twenty-four, first-year, hospitality financial management students, were purposively engaged in online reflections and semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study presented three themes that resonate with the critical thinking frameworks.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"22 1","pages":"262 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48960798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wolfe","doi":"10.1080/15313220.2022.2110550","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15313220.2022.2110550","url":null,"abstract":"Hospitality and tourism higher education has experienced fundamental shifts and dramatic changes for decades across the global landscape. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic further interrupted traditional teaching and learning activities. Both students and educators grappled with the immediate transition from face-to-face to online or hybrid teaching and learning modalities (Park & Jones, 2021). In response, how to transform the existing curriculum to ensure student learning experience and outcomes became critical (Seo & Kim, 2021). The pandemic not only promoted the urgency for educators to seek alternative instructional formats in adapting to the changing learning environment and demands, but also afforded the opportunities for scholars to inspire transformative and active learning. Facing characteristic shifts in global mobility and student learning styles, Shi et al. (2021) illustrated a case study of redesigning an introductory tourism course from traditional teaching to student-oriented active learning. Their study demonstrated that transformative and active learning is conducive to developing the students’ intercultural competence, critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Equipped with such competencies and skills, hospitality and tourism graduates are better prepared to meet the dynamic and evolving societal needs. It is essential for hospitality and tourism educators and scholars to identify emerging demands for these competencies and skills, to become innovative in curriculum design and delivery, and to timely disseminate best practices. Since the onset of the pandemic, hospitality businesses and tourism organizations have witnessed an unprecedented onslaught on the normality of any sort. The pandemic has accelerated the challenges in coping with and the opportunities in leveraging the advancement in technological innovations as well as the continuing changes in demographics and people’s lifestyles. There is a greater complexity in destination images, marketing strategies, and tourists’ and residents’ behaviors (Zenker & Kock, 2020). Recognizing the prevalence of technology in people’s daily life including travel, an increasing number of tourism businesses and destinations have employed influencer marketing as a strategy to promote the destinations and communicate with potential tourists (Femenia-Serra et al., 2022). Mobile technology and social media serve as","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"22 1","pages":"199 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47647955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although each one was integrating curriculum either for the short term or in continuation for the foreseeable future, one teaching principle, Service-Learning (S-L), seems to have never been widely adapted to the online platform. According to the article, E-Service-Learning: The Evolution of Service-Learning to Engage a Growing Online Student Population, many institutions share concern that Service-Learning (S-L) is too challenging to adapt online; however, the authors acknowledge that since it produces greater benefits for all involved including students, faculty and community partners by increasing engagement and connecting to real-world applications, it should be incorporated. This paper will explore why Service-Learning (S-L) should be adapted to the online platform to expand student’s civic involvement as well as to better comprehend course content. It will also share examples of in-person service learning with suggested methods to transition particular projects to the online format.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"23 1","pages":"98 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47173150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Challenges noted include a disjointed tour guide training curriculum, a limited tour guide training curriculum, lack of a foreign language, limited tour guide training facilities, poor trainers, exorbitant training fees and lack of training programme evaluations and refresher courses and training programmes that are too theoretical. The study recommends an evaluation of the current tour guide training syllabi and the training durations, incorporation of experiential-based training approaches, train the trainers programmes, review of training fees and the unification of the current tour guide training institutions in Zimbabwe.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"22 1","pages":"360 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42650405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Faculty members and senior administrators at a community college in Canada with ties to the development of a hospitality degree program were interviewed. This paper examines identity within a different empirical and scalar context (a degree program rather than individuals) and in a manner that is different conceptually (addressing the idea that identity has both enduring and changing features). The competitive academic marketplace has shaped the identity of the hospitality degree program at Niagara College Canada. Commercial pressures, themselves fixed and in flux, have driven the formation of an identity that has attributes that are fixed and in flux. The notion of identity is interwoven with business imperatives and may offer guidance to hospitality degree programs in the context of a post-pandemic economic recovery.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"23 1","pages":"79 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42800822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
