The Mind

In course of designing the courses, the present author in the phase of curriculum coordination, consulted various research papers and books based on the theoretical models of tourism and hospitality education. The review of those works not only have broadened the mind of curriculum designer but also has given knowledge education on various fields of tourism education. It is strongly believed that tourism education will become the backbone and impetus for making tourism as an institution and industry stronger. One of the most important aspects of studying tourism is disciplinarian approach. The sources of knowledge production are based on monodiscipline, multidiscipline, interdiscipline, transdiscipline, extradiscipline, postdiscipline, antidiscipline, metadiscipline and nomadology also coined as disciplinary pluralism or plurydisciplines that have created a disciplinary dilemma. The curriculum should be designed on the basis of praxis and phronesis (Aristotalian thought based on application and theory), Tourism Education Future Initiative’s ( TEFI ) model, John Tribe’s (1997) model ( TF1 and TF2) , Echtner’s (1995) three pronged approach, Mayaka and Akama’s (2007 & 2015) curriculum space model and Koh’s (1994) marketing approach and others. All the above mentioned theoretical models and approaches will help in thinking of and thinking for tourism and hospitality. Simultaneously, it will also help for knowing, seeing, doing and being in the field of education in relation with tourism, hospitality and events (THE). But in this study, only tourism education has been prioritized.Tourism academic world has debated and advocated regarding different approaches, concepts, models, theories and paradigms developed by different scholars of tourism and hospitality.The scientific and reliable arguments have been occurred in different timelines, centralized on tourism education, research, knowledge, phenomena, normative and existential knowledge, successful intelligence, learning, life-long learning, collaboration, professionalism competences, scholarship, disciplines, academic territory, academic tribe, field, forcefield, studies, knowledge production, philosophic practitioner, curriculum space, management, social sciences, disciplinary pluralism, liberal and vocational balance in the field of tourism and hospitality subjects that have become the force for understanding tourism education in a better way.The Gaze: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Vol.9 2018 p.83-155

Tourism And Hospitality

This work has been fully based on review of several secondary sources, conceptual and applied discourses on hospitality education, management and research. The objective of studying this subject is to disseminate the knowledge of hospitality in the academia. Many scholars of hospitality across the world have produced different theoretical models, conceptual insights, pragmatic approaches and experiential perspectives which have become an impetus for understanding the hospitality as human phenomena, hospitality and hospitableness, the hospitality industry, its management, research, training and development as well as education in this specialized field of service and experience economy. As a purely academic discourse, the paper as a whole has been prepared by studying the origin, history, conceptualization, dimensions, interactions, typologies and neologism in hospitality. However, the present scholar could explore varying opinions on nature and functional coverage of hospitality and tourism, this study could identify many symbiotic relationships from different perspectives. It is believed that this study will serve instrumental for the learners, educators, researchers and professionals of hospitality and tourism.The GAZEJournal of Tourism and Hospitality, Vol. 8, 2017, Page: 55-115

The Relationship

This paper outlines three new approaches which demonstrate the emergence of a new paradigm for tourism and hospitality education. Analysis of stakeholders provides insights into the legitimacy of those who seek to influence the educational process, in particular the tourism and hospitality sector, government, faculty members and students. Stakeholders can be seen to have two main roles in the educational process: first to influence the strategic direction of education via curriculum planning; and second, to measure performance, in particular through the quality management process. This paper details the main issues and stages involved in the adoption of these new concepts for tourism and hospitality education and the implications for the relationship between industry and higher education.

The element of training is taken into account seriously by universities providing tourism education degrees, hence the development of “sandwich” undergraduate courses that incorporate a period of industrial placement aiming at the blending of theory with practical experience through experiential learning. The survey presented here was conducted in Greece and is objective was to evaluate the outcome of the supervised work experience by examining the views of undergraduate tourism and hospitality management students who completed their industrial placement period. Data were obtained through personal interviews and were of both qualitative and quantitative nature. The tentative results of the research, as described in this exploratory study, indicate some areas for concern and allows for conclusions to be drawn in relation to further improving and enhancing experiential learning.

Inputs And Outputs

Background: Many countries use market forces to drive reform across disability supports and services. Over the last few decades, many countries have individualised budgets and devolved these to people with disability, so that they can purchase their own choice of supports from an available market of services.Key points for discussion: Such individualised, market-based schemes aim to extend choice and control to people with disability, but this is only achievable if the market operates effectively. Market stewardship has therefore become an important function of government in guiding markets and ensuring they operate effectively.The type of evidence that governments tend to draw on in market stewardship is typically limited to inputs and outputs and has less insight into the outcomes services do or do not achieve. While this is a typical approach to market stewardship, we argue it is problematic and that a greater focus on outcomes is necessary.Conclusions and implications: To include a focus on outcomes, we argue that market stewards need to take account of the lived experience of people with disability. We present a framework for doing this, drawing on precedents where people with disability have contributed lived experience evidence within other policy, research, knowledge production and advocacy contexts.With the lived experience evidence of people with disability included, market stewardship will be better able to take account of outcomes as they play out in the lives of those using the market and, ultimately, achieve greater choice and control for people with disability.<br />Key messages<br /><ul><li>Market stewardship is key to guiding quasi-markets, including in the disability sector;</li><br /><li>Evidence guiding market stewardship is often about inputs and outputs only;</li><br /><li>It would be beneficial to also include lived experience evidence from people with disability;</li><br /><li>We propose a framework for the inclusion of lived experience evidence in market stewardship.</li></ul>

The aim of this paper is to discuss the soft skills acquisition in the tourism industry as a means of education for sustainable development. A quantitative research approach has been applied in order to investigate the soft skills needed for tourism. The analysis is based on interviews carried out with representatives of the Bulgarian regional Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the Bulgarian hotel and restaurant industry. Additionally, a case study involving three groups of respondents, i.e. Learners, Educators and Representatives of business and Employers in the tourism and hospitality industry in Bulgaria was conducted based on a combined list of soft skills. Whereas some hard skills are traditionally taught at the educational institutions, soft skills, here identified as Core soft skills, Specific soft skills and Managerial soft skills, often remain beyond the educators’ aims. Thus, the study provides some useful insights into the contemporary practice of tourism and hospitality education, on the one hand, and into the paradigm of education for sustainable development, on the other. Keywords: Soft Skills, Tourism, Business, Hospitality, Education, Sustainability, Bulgaria

This chapter considers points of intersection between Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and Joseph Conrad. By Ngũgĩ’s own account, his rewriting of Conrad’s Under Western Eyes (1911) as A Grain of Wheat (1967) triggered a crisis of audience that ultimately led him to abandon English for his native Gikuyu. To further complicate the question of influence, Wollaeger also examines the relationship between two works of nonfiction: Conrad’s A Personal Record (1912) and Ngũgĩ’s Decolonizing the Mind (1986). At the heart of Ngũgĩ’s attempt to fashion premodern tribalism into a utopian space are two problems that still animate critical discussion. What is the status of the local and the indigenous? Does attention to influence reinstate a center-periphery model in postcolonial criticism? This chapter shows the extent to which Conrad and Ngũgĩ both anticipate and generate theoretical models later used to articulate modernism and postcolonialism as fields of inquiry.

Knowledge Governance

Research Knowledge production is the result from knowledge processes that happen at diverse networks spaces. Those spaces are supported by a cascade of systems (Data Management Systems, Information Management Systems, Knowledge Management Systems, Evaluation Systems and Monitoring Systems) that must be aligned to avoid formation of silos and barriers to the flows of information and knowledge. The energy that powers consists of the people and their connections; so there is crucial to understand and govern formal and informal networks. By take a holistic approach, we propose to join benefits of an efficient knowledge management with the implementation of knowledge governance mechanisms in order to improve Research Knowledge production and its impacts.
