This special issue calls for renewed engagement with qualitative research—one that embraces reflexivity, methodological diversity, creativity, and criticality. <em>Unlearning Qualitative Inquiry</em> reflects this vision in two ways. First, it responds to the need to correct the persistent misconceptions and misteachings that continue to circulate within our scholarly community. Second, it affirms that unlearning is a powerful form of learning in itself. Our call for papers in this new article collection is grounded by four core objectives: (1) to curate a compendium of resources for educators and scholars committed to conducting and advancing qualitative research in hospitality and tourism fields, (2) to correct prevailing misunderstandings of qualitative inquiry, (3) to create a platform for reflective, innovative, and ethical qualitative scholarship, and (4) to foster dialogue on critical qualitative methodologies. We invite contributions that illuminate the lived process of doing qualitative research, including its uncertainties, rigor, vulnerabilities, and potential for reimagining what inquiry in hospitality and tourism can be.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100601"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148184134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the extent to which Entrepreneurial Marketing Education (EME) shapes entrepreneurial intentions (EI) among sport science students, focusing on two key cognitive predictors: perceived desirability (PD) and perceived feasibility (PF). Drawing on a national sample of 435 undergraduates across Iranian universities, structural equation modeling revealed that EME significantly enhances both PD and PF—though not all pedagogical elements contributed equally. What elevates this research is its revelation of Sporting Capital (SC) as a decisive moderating force. Conceptualized as a multidimensional blend of physical ability, psychological resilience, and social connectivity, SC not only amplifies the effect of EME, but does so more powerfully among female students—where it appears to counterbalance structural and cultural barriers through embodied confidence and social reinforcement. These findings reframe entrepreneurship education as a lived, context-sensitive process shaped not only by cognitive factors but by sport-rooted experiences. Theoretically, this study bridges entrepreneurial cognition with embodied capital; practically, it calls for learning environments that activate the physical, emotional, and relational strengths of sport students in pursuit of entrepreneurial futures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100598"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146187984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Situated within the context of higher education in healthcare and hospitality, the work underscores the significance of emotional intelligence and reflective practice in these fields. By highlighting the interplay between personal reflection and professional practice, the verses invite educators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to consider the emotional and experiential dimensions that shape their roles in these industries.

A total of 1328 modules were analysed by type (either ‘core’ or ‘optional’) and categorised into one of fifteen domains.</div><div>The results show that RUK universities were more prescriptive than those in Scotland, with 57 % of all SES modules being core compared to 45 % in Scottish institutions. However, the number of optional modules increased over the years in both systems reflecting the generally flexible structure of the SES degree. The curricula of Scottish and RUK SES degree programmes were predominantly multidisciplinary allowing institutions to tailor content in response to emerging fields and/or staff expertise. These findings have implications for future (re)design of SES degree curricula, not just in the UK but in similar settings.

The objective of this study is to examine the consequences of this trend: depression caused by RAISA (DCR), quiet quitting (QQ), and intention to quit school (ITQS). To collect the necessary data for the research objectives, we administered an online survey to full-time students in institutions affiliated with the Hospitality and Culinary Arts Alliance. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling, we evaluated our model. The study's findings asserted that concerns over RAISA (COR) are positively related to hospitality and tourism students' DCR, QQ, and ITQS.

A survey was conducted among recreation management students at three different universities based on quantitative research methods. Structural equation modelling was applied to the 387 useable survey data obtained. According to the results, digital leisure use has a positive effect on psychological well-being. Social media engagement has a differential mediating effect in this relationship: affective social media engagement was found to mediate negatively, whereas cognitive and behavioural social media engagement mediated positively. Thus, although digital leisure use basically enhances psychological well-being, the role of social media engagement in this relationship varies. The results of this study provide important theoretical and practical insights and recommendations for tourism education. It also provides a better context for the factors that influence psychological well-being in the digital leisure space and how social media engagement can influence students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 100570"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
