The primary purpose of this study was to determine how the current hospitality
management curriculum at The International Hotel School contributes to students’
preparedness from their own perspectives.
Generic and curriculum specific skills that can be used for curriculum evaluation were
identified, a framework of curriculum variables to rate the level of student
preparedness was developed, the effectiveness of the hospitality management
curriculum from the perspectives of students’ perceptions of preparedness was
analysed, and the aspects that contribute most to student preparedness were
identified through a literature study and an empirical investigation.
The findings were summarised and it was recommended that The International Hotel
School needs to review the hotel and restaurant accounting course and the
experiential learning components. Furthermore, lecturers of The International Hotel
School should receive training on the implementation of more interactive course
content delivery methods. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Adult Education)
