Critical Success Factors Affecting Hospitality & Tourism Management Students’ Learning Efficacy From Project-based Learning

The primary goal of this study is to identify critical success factors affecting HTM students’ learning efficacy from problem-based learning. Drawing on the insights solicited from six focus-group interviews with 23 hospitality and tourism management students from a public university in Hong Kong, a total of six critical success factors were identified. The findings of this exploratory study do not only contribute some new knowledge to the realm of research about hospitality and tourism education but also provide some clues for hospitality and tourism educators for making their PBL become more learner centric.
