This study delves into these aspects within the context of tourism education, employing a mixed-methods approach. It integrates in-depth interviews with 13 tourism academics and a quantitative survey of 268 tourism students. The qualitative data are meticulously coded, and the quantitative data are analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). This research not only conceptually outlines the future benefits of the metaverse, such as enhanced interactive learning and global classroom experiences but also empirically examines its impact on tourism students' engagement and learning outcomes. Key findings highlight both the empowering potential and the infrastructural and accessibility challenges posed by metaverse technology in tourism education. Ultimately, this study provides a holistic view of metaverse-based education's role in advancing the tourism industry, suggesting practical implications for technological adaptation and pedagogical strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100503"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141083403","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}

New generations of students, often referred to as digital natives, increasingly utilise these platforms for socialization and interaction with their surrounding world. The pandemic prompted by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has further accelerated the adoption of online and hybrid teaching methodologies, wherein social media can assume a central role in creating dynamic teaching-learning environments. While the existing literature has highlighted the advantageous aspects of social media within the educational sphere, the landscape constantly evolves, witnessing the ongoing integration of new functionalities into existing platforms or the emergence of novel social media. TikTok serves as a prime illustration of this phenomenon, a social media platform centered on short videos complemented by music and its effects. Despite TikTok's burgeoning global user base, especially among younger people, its potential in the realm of higher education remains relatively unexplored. This pedagogical paper aims to address this gap in the literature by elucidating an experience involving TikTok within the context of sport sciences. Furthermore, it provides a series of guidelines and recommendations for university professors to incorporate TikTok into their instructional practices and delineates the potential applications of TikTok in various other contexts. These insights may serve as stepping stones for future investigation and educational undertakings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1473837624000248/pdfft?md5=186bcb66f05d562be3675033971a97b7&pid=1-s2.0-S1473837624000248-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193817","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}

Their formative role is crucial, including in structural issues such as gender equality in the business context. This study aims to identify and analyse the lines of action implemented by higher education institutions (HEI) with courses in the area of sport to promote sport entrepreneurship, particularly in the field of female entrepreneurship. A qualitative approach was adopted, applying a semi-structured interview to 21° coordinators in the area of sport, belonging to both state and private HEIs in Portugal. The results indicate that some HEIs have shown concern about applying strategies to stimulate entrepreneurship in sport, but they do so in a random way. The results also suggest the need to be able to re-adapt course curricula in order to promote sport entrepreneurship more through different strategic actions such as: specific curricular units, extra-curricular activities, setting up a department devoted to entrepreneurship, besides the need to create specific initiatives to stimulate female entrepreneurship. Also suggested is optimization of the synergy between HEIs, the work environment and government. Articulation between these stakeholders would contribute to a more entrepreneurial culture, particularly in relation to female entrepreneurship in the sport context.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100485"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S147383762400008X/pdfft?md5=6db5124fb84daf71095fa915e874ba64&pid=1-s2.0-S147383762400008X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140041364","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}

However, there is a lack of research on the impact of sport in natural environments on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the relationship between physical-sports practice in nature and sustainable entrepreneurship among sport science students. The study comprised 555 sport science students, averaging 21.67 (SD = 3.88) years old. Results revealed that students who engaged in sports in natural environments scored significantly higher (p &lt; .05) in all sustainable entrepreneurship variables. Additionally, the study found that physical-sports practice in nature played a mediating role between sustainability attitudes and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions among these students. This demonstrates the potential transfer of sustainable values and attitudes through nature-based sports. By leveraging the positive influence of physical-sports practice in natural environments, universities can foster the development of sustainable entrepreneurial mindsets among students. Therefore, the role of natural environments in higher education should be considered to favor a more sustainable management mentality in future graduates.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100482"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1473837624000054/pdfft?md5=e907591acdb94b576966cf485f028a65&pid=1-s2.0-S1473837624000054-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139914911","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}
