Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in students' digital literacy, particularly in their use of digital content creation tools, with self-reported confidence levels increasing markedly. Despite initial technological trepidations, students reported that hands-on teaching and learning interventions, such as the creation of digital storyboards, facilitated their learning and success with the assessment.

In the study, a content analysis was conducted on the curriculum of 65 undergraduate tourism and hospitality management programs, followed by an analysis of data from 28 academics to explore the role of emerging technologies in the curriculum. We have observed six core topics. Technology courses had the lowest proportion. We further observe four categories of skills that emerging technologies may provide students, highlighting their potential to shape future career opportunities. Building on these findings, the current study contributes to the literature by linking these skill sets — digital and technological, theoretical, operational, and managerial — to emerging job roles such as virtual reality tour designers, competent tourism developers, and AI-driven marketing specialists. Furthermore, the study identifies the domains where emerging technologies have the most relevance and outlines which purpose they may be included in the tourism and hospitality curriculum as a course. Thus, it forwards previous studies emphasizing the importance of emerging technologies. The study also suggests the implications for the literature, practice, and public policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100546"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143619389","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}

Guided by an arts-based methodology, we draw attention to the complexity of graduate students’ lives beyond academia and illustrate how art-based methodology may act as an apparatus for reflexive tourism engagement. Drawing on Creative Analytic Practice we offer a series of vignettes crafted by our graduate students leading up to and following a two-day symposium co-hosted by the Tourism Education Futures Initiative (TEFI) and Tourism RESET. Our findings reveal the effectiveness of practicing an ethic of care to challenge neo-liberal values and agendas in the academy by focusing on attentiveness (listening and including graduate students) and responsiveness (including engaging and co-designing responses) with our tourism graduate students. We conclude by exploring how we may recenter care by creating spaces for our students to share their engagement in a care-based symposium. We encourage challenging traditional ways of doing research and training scholars in the academy. There is an urgent need for a step-change in the academy that centers care by attending to the care gaps in our scholarly community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100539"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527430","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}

It involves a genuine and purposeful relationship with an industry partner or partners that extends beyond internships and placements. This paper examines implementing and evaluating this pedagogical approach within an undergraduate business school context. While our focus remains within a sport management program of study, we suggest that this approach and its outcomes be adapted and applied to other disciplines. In this paper, we examine the benefits of meaningful engagement with industry before highlighting four different approaches to course content creation. Our paper is grounded in experiential learning theory to explore the outcomes and impact of partnership pedagogy on the student experience. Analysis of data from student-led focus groups, interviews with industry staff, and qualitative feedback from final-year sport management students revealed that, despite their experiences being embedded in industry, students did not always recognise them as industry engagement. Consequently, we argue that while investing in innovative methods such as partnership pedagogy holds the potential to enhance student success, it must explicitly link academic learning with the accompanying development of professional skills. This will ensure that students reflect on this symbiotic relationship's tangible and discernible benefits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100545"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488649","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}

Thirty-one percent of graduates responded to this initial contact and the information gained from this and associated follow up led to the creation and implementation of four key outputs.

Six of the eight students who completed a work placement created by the project reported it was beneficial to work with a graduate and all the placement supervisors who responded reported that being a graduate from the course helped them as a placement supervisor. Ninety nine percent of students fed back positively that they found live guest lectures from alumni interesting, and 89% reported that they would like to hear from more graduates in the future. When evaluating the use of video snippets from graduates rather than live guest lectures there were no significant differences in the evaluation responses (P &gt; 0.05).

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> &lt; 0.001), with the EG exhibiting a significantly greater improvement (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). At retention test, reductions in scores were less pronounced in the EG compared to the CG at <em>p</em> &lt; 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.
