<i>'Benckendorff and Zehrer's </i>Handbook of Teaching and Learning in Tourism<i> provides a rich, comprehensive and "must have" set of readings for the tourism educator. A very international group of authors deliver a contemporary view of teaching and learning in tourism ranging from technology, through experiential learning, to internationalization and the future. This book sets a benchmark in the field and the editors are to be congratulated for their vision in creating this </i>Handbook.'<br /> --Chris Cooper, Oxford Brookes University, UK<p><i>'What are policy-makers and educators to do in our runaway world where students, technologies, skills, knowledge, mobilities and expectations are all changing fast? With its emphasis on teaching and learning, this book provides a unique contribution to the field. Pierre Benckendorff and Anita Zehrer have assembled a fine collection of contributions that help us to frame, understand and respond to the key issues. What's more, they conclude the book with an excellent summary of the main themes and implications for policy and practice.'</i><br /> --John Tribe, University of Surrey, UK</p>
Contributions draw on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and focus on the full spectrum of teaching and learning techniques in higher education, from undergraduate programme to the supervision of research students. Key topics include assurance of learning, development of skills, learning in the field, work-integrated learning, sustainability and critical studies, internationalization, technology-enabled learning, links between teaching and research, and graduate student supervision. Within these topics, attention is devoted to the discussion of curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, students, educators, and trends and issues.
An invaluable resource for understanding teaching and learning theory and practice in tourism, this Handbook will be an essential guide for tourism and hospitality educators, PhD students studying in the area of higher education, and educational designers and higher education researchers. It will inspire teaching and learning innovation by providing ideas, examples and future directions.
