Tourism and cognate courses offered by higher educational institutions are essentially a part of the tourism system. This study aims to emphasize the perspective of tourism educators with respect to upcoming challenges in the tourism discipline and ways to reinvent and reboot the tourism education in the post-COVID-19 phase. The study adopted a qualitative approach and a total of 22 responses were interpreted. A thematic analysis using the Nvivo 12 plus software was done. Even though there was variability in the respondents’ background, a significant emphasis on curriculum design, industry collaboration, and excellence in research was mutually suggested by the educators. The study suggests that ambidextrous management in tourism education be adopted in post-COVID-19 phase. In other words, educators must become adept at the delivery of courses in a variety of modalities that would enable them to cope with the short and medium-term impacts of teaching in a COVID-19 (incremental innovation), while providing by anticipation of future demands (from industry and students), cutting edge curriculum (radical innovation).","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"21 1","pages":"313 - 338"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1850392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49080747","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}

Among non-cognitive factors hindering the acquisition of these competencies are negative attitudes towards Statistics. This study analyzes attitudes towards Statistics among tourism students enrolled on their first Statistics course, paying special attention to its evolution from the beginning to the end of the course. Positive attitudes are a desirable course result, and its development needs to be assessed. An exploratory factor analysis performed on the SATS-28© items reveals the existence of three main components of students’ attitudes towards Statistics: Anxiety, Affect & Self-confidence, and Value. At the end of the course, only the Anxiety dimension improved its score. Since there is an absolute lack of research on tourism students’ attitudes towards Statistics, it would be advisable to carry out further research, extending the preliminary methodology presented in this research to other courses, universities, and countries.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"21 1","pages":"120 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1828014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42166924","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}

Various quantitative methods allow researchers to investigate problems encompassing, for instance, tourists’ behaviors, destinations efficiency, or tourism demand forecasting. However, statistical apparatus in the hands of a professional can either reveal a great deal about the world or conversely, deceive thousands of people. Past research touching upon the subject of scientific misbehaviors focused primarily on answering questions of who?, when? or how often?, leaving the matter of how specifically? rather uninvestigated. In the current paper, a grey area between quantitative data modification and falsification is discussed with the intention to build greater awareness among undergraduate students about potential pitfalls related to the execution of quantitative inquiries. To increase transparency and credibility of future scientific endeavors, practical recommendations are proposed on how to work responsibly within the confines of quantitative tourism research.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"21 1","pages":"105 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1822768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46656061","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 academic papers on MOOCs have mushroomed over the past ten years, few studies have focused on MOOC dropout and retention. In particular, research on hospitality and tourism MOOCs has remained nascent despite the field’s significant contribution to international business and global employment. Because of the lack of relevant literature on hospitality and tourism MOOCs, this study conducts a systematic review of the MOOC literature on the broader education field, examining the MOOC dropout phenomenon and retention strategies. The results of a content analysis based on journal articles’ main research topic show four clusters: prediction, continuance intention, motivation, and attrition. Thematic analysis is used to categorize the dropout factors into seven major themes: learning experience, interactivity, course design, technology, language, time, and situation. This paper concludes with a summary of the results, recommendations, practical implications, limitations, and directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"21 1","pages":"177 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1809050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43775724","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}

However, the knowledge of important MT competencies has not been updated for almost a decade to respond to changes in the current generations of MTs and their managers. This study chooses Thailand as a research setting due to its emerging challenges in MT programs. This study aims to investigate (1) the key challenges faced by Thai MTs, (2) the crucial competency set for MTs, and (3) the MT competency gap from the points of view of MTs and educators. Data derived from interviews with 10 successful MTs and 10 educators demonstrate gaps in the challenges and MT competencies. Research findings suggest the following: 1) Generation gap has some influences on the perception toward the required MT competencies. 2) “Adaptability,” “Leadership skills,” “Listening to feedback from others” are top three characteristics for MTs under the Thai context. 3) Although educators emphasize critical thinking, strategic positioning and industry-specific knowledge, MT hoteliers highly focus on self-management, communication and leadership domains. Recommendations on curriculum adjustment to decrease the MT competency gap between two stakeholders and the implication on the MT program are suggested to educators and hoteliers.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"21 1","pages":"43 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1809049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42884710","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}

In collaboration with universities in Mexico and the United States, the model employed an international tourism curriculum that explored issues concerning the environmental, economic, and cultural impacts of global tourism. Field experiences challenged students to think critically about tourism issues from various perspectives in order to gain a holistic understanding of the multidimensional issues. Students met with farmers, fisherman, hospitality providers, tourism outfitters, business owners, government officials, regional non-profits, and local citizens to gain a broader perspective. The summary observation of this paper found the model to be successful in promoting student learning and effective in building bridges across nations through the development of strategic partnerships. The lessons learned involved the importance of administrative support, the significance of faculty engagement, and the importance of building relationships.","PeriodicalId":46100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism","volume":"20 1","pages":"202 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15313220.2020.1797609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46553950","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}
