Resumen
The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how hospitality students learn and how they develop their approaches to learning. The study investigates whether there is a change in students' approaches to learning as they progress through their programmes of study, and the reasons for any change or the lack of change. Data was collected on student approaches to learning at three points: initial entry to their programmes, the beginning of their second year and the end of the first semester of the final year of those same programmes. The study is a longitudinal one. It is hoped by that assessing and analyzing students' learning approaches and the direction of any change will allow feedback to be provided to departments, curriculum planners, and teaching staff about how they are affecting the way their students approach learning, and thereby assist them to work towards continued improvement and enhancement of learning and teaching.
