ABSTRACT

College educators may have concerns about the reading habits of their students in general and within disciplines, and may wish to understand more about their students’ reading habits. Therefore, this Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) study investigated students’ perceptions of their own reading habits; 124 surveys were collected from hospitality and tourism students at a university in the southeastern United States. Students at higher levels reported reading more than others, grade point average was related to reading, and several themes connected to their reading habits were identified. Based on the results of the study, implications are discussed, strategies for encouraging reading are provided, and further research is suggested.

摘要

大学教育工作者可能对学生的一般阅读习惯和学科内的阅读习惯感到担忧，并可能希望更多地了解学生的阅读习惯。因此，这项教学奖学金 (SoTL) 研究调查了学生对自己阅读习惯的看法；从美国东南部一所大学的酒店和旅游专业学生那里收集了 124 份调查问卷。较高水平的学生报告阅读比其他人更多，平均成绩与阅读有关，并且确定了与他们的阅读习惯相关的几个主题。根据研究结果，讨论了影响，提供了鼓励阅读的策略，并提出了进一步的研究建议。
