This gap is partly due to the absence of validated research tools to assess its potential educational impact. This study addresses this gap by adapting and validating a new scale, “TikTok-SportEdu”, with a sample of 250 Spanish sport sciences university students (<em>M</em> = 22.56; <em>SD</em> = 3.55). The TikTok-SportEdu scale, comprising 15 items across three dimensions—1) TikTok as a university teaching-learning tool, 2) TikTok as a professional profile development tool, and 3) TikTok as a tool for interaction and staying informed about sport industry developments—demonstrates robust psychometric properties. The TikTok-SportEdu scale will enable educators, educational institutions, policymakers, and industry professionals to better understand the strategic use of TikTok in higher education, providing a reliable instrument for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100548"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725327","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}

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.

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.

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.
