ABSTRACT

This exploratory study investigates students’ understanding of how they believed hands-on activities prepared them for the hospitality industry. While competitive hospitality businesses around the globe seek out new employees to take on the many leadership challenges, hospitality schools make parallel efforts to prepare their students to take on these responsibilities after graduation. Although traditional classroom techniques have a place in the hospitality classroom, experiential learning methods have emerged as a powerful way of better preparing students for the unique environment they will face when employed. The inseparable employee-to-guest nature of the hospitality industry creates idiomatic scenarios, which can often be stressful for a new employee. The context for this study is the University of South Florida’s College of Hospitality & Tourism Leadership (CHTL). Using qualitative explorative methods, students were interviewed and synthesized themes were identified. The main findings indicate students were enthusiastic when describing their hands-on activities with professionals and shared how the experiential learning curriculum was more engaging then traditional methods. Students provided narratives that claimed the dynamic activities made learned material more memorable and relevant to the real industry. Furthermore, students felt the challenging group work caused them to develop diverse insights for problem solving.

烹饪课程中的体验式学习方法可以弥合差距:学生对动手课程如何为工业做准备的理解

摘要

这项探索性研究旨在调查学生对他们相信动手活动如何使他们为酒店业做好准备的理解。在全球竞争激烈的酒店业寻找新员工来承担许多领导力挑战的同时,酒店学校也做出了平行的努力,以使其学生做好毕业后承担这些责任的准备。尽管传统的教室技术已在酒店教室中占有一席之地,但是体验式学习方法已成为一种强大的方法,可以为学生更好地为他们在就业时将面临的独特环境做准备。餐饮业不可分割的员工与来宾性质会产生惯用的情况,这通常会对新雇员造成压力。这项研究的背景是南佛罗里达大学的款待学院,旅游领导力(CHTL)。使用定性的探索性方法,对学生进行了采访并确定了综合主题。主要发现表明,学生在与专业人士描述他们的动手活动时表现出热情,并分享了体验式学习课程如何比传统方法更具吸引力。学生提供的叙述声称动态的活动使学习的材料更令人难忘,并且与真实行业相关。此外,学生们认为富有挑战性的小组工作使他们对解决问题有了不同的见解。主要发现表明,学生在与专业人士描述他们的动手活动时表现出热情,并分享了体验式学习课程如何比传统方法更具吸引力。学生提供的叙述声称动态的活动使学习的材料更令人难忘,并且与真实行业相关。此外,学生们认为富有挑战性的小组工作使他们对解决问题有了不同的见解。主要发现表明,学生在与专业人士描述他们的动手活动时表现出热情,并分享了体验式学习课程如何比传统方法更具吸引力。学生提供的叙述声称动态的活动使学习的材料更令人难忘,并且与真实行业相关。此外,学生们认为富有挑战性的小组工作使他们对解决问题有了不同的见解。
