TIMELINE
Fall 2009 - Case Study Commences
Reviewed all THM courses and decided which Core Value should be embedded into each course.
Wrote series of learning objectives for the 5 TEFI Core Values.
Learning objectives were written in progressive level of application and suggested assessment using Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956, 2007).
Core Values were integrated throughout all major and elective course, as well as from freshman through senior level.
Bachelor of Science (BS) in Tourism and Hospitality Management
PUBLISHED
Special edition of Journal of Teaching in Travel and Tourism (2011) pp. 38-75, vol. 11:1.
FALL 2009 – FALL 2012
Each Semester
Data has been collected on individual course assessment through Student Feedback Forms – student perceptions, attitudes and opinions of Core Values.
Data has been collected from external stakeholders – senior internship site supervisors – Industry opinions on students’ performance.
Comparisons are made to assess changes.
