We tested an innovative blende learning model in sports science education, termed the “Add-on” model. This latter uses Facebook to share educational media (“Did You Know?” DYK images) with sports science undergraduates asynchronously after classroom-based lessons. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with stratified randomization, an experimental group (EG = 40) was exposed to the “Add-on” model for 23 weeks, while a control group (CG = 40) followed the regular teaching approach. Both the EG and CG took a custom-designed 50-question written test focused on DYK image content before (pretest) and after (posttest) the intervention, with a retention assessment. Significant improvements in test scores were observed in both groups at posttest (<em>p</em> < 0.001), with the EG exhibiting a significantly greater improvement (<em>p</em> < 0.001). At retention test, reductions in scores were less pronounced in the EG compared to the CG at <em>p</em> < 0.001, indicating a superior retention effect in the EG. Simple regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between DYK image viewing and score improvement, with each viewed image potentially contributing to approximately 2.83% enhancement in test scores from pre- to posttest. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the “Add-on” model in sports science education and open the door for further exploration and application in other academic disciplines. Universities can collaborate with subject teachers to create and share these cost-effective materials on social media platforms such as Facebook, enhancing knowledge retention in higher education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100538"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143350429","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}

In this article, I adopt a story analysis approach to reflect upon the co-creation of a learning environment designed to enhance Sport Management students' critical thinking skills and their employability. We began by adopting Freire's (1970) critical pedagogy framework to co-produce a series of debates enabling first-year students to explore and resolve contentious popular culture issues. The initial response was unenthusiastic, sports management students asked why they were debating global politics and popular culture. However, through constant encouragement, we achieved the desired pedagogic outcomes where first-year students quickly progressed from information takers to critical thinkers with global awareness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100537"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between January and May 2024, for 12 weeks, 21 coaches from both Leeds Beckett University (UK) and James Madison (USA) participated in a pilot project to supplement an internship experience which they were engaged in as part of their coursework. Using Flip, a video-based discussion app from Microsoft, coaches were encouraged to share and explore their problems of professional practice with others as they emerged. By doing this, we hoped that coaches would contribute to each-others’ framing and developing understanding of authentic and meaningful coaching issues, begin to form networks of support, become increasingly independent learners, and develop a more global outlook. From our position as internship architects and facilitators, we hypothesised that with a greater appreciation of coaches’ issues and interests we could more meaningfully offer timely and bespoke support. As we reflect on this novel project, we deliberate over the practical value of some of the underpinning ideas, limitations to supporting pre-professional coaches in this way, and future directions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100536"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, within a practical based subject like strength and conditioning, academic staff have designed assessments to reflect industry relevant activities such as athlete testing, data interpretation and communicating relevant information to the athlete. To improve this process, it is important to act upon feedback from key stakeholders in the assessment process, such as the external athletes involved in this specific assessment. The purpose of this analysis was to obtain feedback from the athletes the students worked with in the assessment process with a view to improving future iterations. Following the assessment all athletes involved completed a short interview and filled out a questionnaire which contained fixed response and open-ended questions on their opinions and experiences of the assessment. All athletes who participated stated they would be willing to be involved in future years, all athletes also stated that the assessment was very industry relevant and commended its inclusion within the programme. Areas for improvement were identified, athletes felt that the assessor should be less present to facilitate more organic interactions between the students being assessed and the athlete. The assessment was perceived as a positive experience for external athletes involved, who all believed the process mirrored experiences from their athletic careers. For future assessments staff should devise strategies to be less visible to allow more natural interactions between students and athletes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100535"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This module embedded study skills in a contextualised manner into the degree programme using an experiential learning approach. The impact of this module on students' engagement with and perceived ability in study skills was assessed by the completion of pre-post module skills audits and module evaluation questionnaires. Following completion of the module students' perceived ability in a range of study skills, most notably information seeking skills, writing skills, and spoken communication was enhanced. Students engaged well with the online independent nature of the module and the experiential learning approach asking for more tasks to support their learning. Students' engagement was low in areas where they perceived they were already competent or did not see the relevance of the material. Embedding study skills development within the academic program using an experiential learning approach was therefore shown to be an effective way of enhancing students’ skill levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100532"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses the research gap in integrating sustainability and ethical responsibility into culinary education by proposing a comprehensive model based on the Norm Activation Model and the Attitude-Behavior-Context theory. The model investigates the relationships among contextual forces (positive role models, experiential learning, policy and institutional support), Norm Activation Model (awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, personal norms), and responsible culinary behaviors (food waste reduction, energy-efficient cooking, sustainable sourcing). Data were analyzed using integrated generalized structured component analysis (IGSCA) and necessary condition analysis (NCA). Results indicate that experiential learning and policy and institutional support significantly impact awareness of consequences, while personal norms strongly drive responsible behaviors. The necessity logic further identifies crucial antecedents required for achieving these behaviors. This study provides valuable insights for culinary educators and policymakers to develop effective curricula focused on ethical and sustainability-oriented practices, emphasizing experiential learning and institutional support to cultivate ethical and sustainable culinary practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100531"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176093","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}
