Resumen
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using a competency-based framework for mastering a core body of discipline-specific knowledge and fostering competency skills for successful managers, lifelong learners, and responsible citizens. Over a five-year period from 2000 to 2005, students who were enrolled in the capstone tourism course were asked to complete a comprehensive survey to assess their perceived ability to answer core competency questions addressed by the course materials and demonstrate their ability to think critically; engage in effective communication practices; use technology; conduct research; responsibly engage in team based activities; and practice self reflection.
