Mrs Lia Marinakou presented at the 2012 Athens Tourism Symposium a paper titled "Using problem-based learning to teach tourism management students"

Mrs Lia Marinakou presented at the 2012 Athens Tourism Symposium a paper titled "Using problem-based learning to teach tourism management students". This paper aims at identifying the learning styles of tourism management programme students in Greece and the investigation of embedding problem-based learning (PBL) via online activities in the assessment. There is need for degrees in tourism management programmes that will enable students to think critically. Tourism education and training is required to adapt to patterns of change which seem certain to exert a profound influence on future roles and behaviours, since the vocational aspect of learning and teaching has been criticised. In order to understand the students’ learning style and behaviour it is important to develop learning and teaching strategies that enhance the student experience. The author has used Honey and Mumford’s Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ); even though it has been used widely in management training, very few studies using the LSQ however, have focused on hospitality and tourism. The results suggest that the students have a preferred style that poses challenges to lectures in understanding the students’ learning behaviour as well as at developing their teaching strategy. The findings show that students prefer concrete learning styles, active and occasionally reflective. The authors suggest that an appropriate teaching method is problem-based learning with the use of online techniques to trigger the students’ interest and give them the opportunity to reflect and practice the knowledge gained at the course. An example is discussed in the article.

IST COLLEGE participates at a European funded programme on behalf of CEDEFOP

IST COLLEGE participates at a European funded programme on behalf of CEDEFOP. In particular, the overall goal of this project is to produce a study for mapping and analysing assessment methodologies and practices in 32 countries participating in the Education and Training 2020 strategic framework for European cooperation (“ET 2020”) and to examine and compare up to what extent and how learning outcomes approaches influence assessment methodologies and practices in initial vocational education and training. The focus of IST team is on initial vocational education and training in tourism. The study aims also to contribute to the understanding of how different methodologies used to assess learning outcomes may strengthen the relationship between education / training and the labour market. The results of this study will be published by CEDEFOP (www.cedefop.europa.eu)

Με τη συμμετοχή πλήθους μεγάλων εταιρειών, η «Ημέρα Καριέρας», παρά τη δυσχερή κατάσταση για την ελληνική οικονομία και κατ’ επέκταση την ελληνική αγορά εργασίας, έφερε σε επαφή τους φοιτητές του IST College με εκπροσώπους της αγοράς, συμβάλλοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο στην εξοικείωση των φοιτητών με τις απαιτήσεις των επιχειρήσεων, επικυρώνοντας έτσι τη σύνδεση του κολεγίου με την αγορά εργασίας και ενισχύοντας τη φήμη του ως οργανισμό που βοηθά τους αποφοίτους του να διεκδικήσουν με αξιώσεις μία θέση στην αγορά εργασίας.
