ABSTRACT

This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) study focuses on understanding more about how hospitality management students enrolled in online courses define and use information literacy, and what they think is meaningful with regard to information literacy skills connected to their major field of study, before and after completing an online module about information literacy. Students enrolled in an online introductory hospitality course at a public university in the southeastern United States (U.S.) during six different semesters (in 2020 and 2021) participated in the study. The study included having the students complete a survey, read and take a quiz over a module about information literacy, and reflect over information literacy after they completed those steps. Results indicated that students, instructors, and librarians could potentially do more to enhance information literacy in the hospitality discipline. Suggestions for teaching, recommendations for further research, and limitations are presented.

摘要

这项教与学奖学金 (SoTL) 研究的重点是更多地了解参加在线课程的酒店管理学生如何定义和使用信息素养，以及他们认为与他们的主要研究领域相关的信息素养技能有意义的内容，然后在完成有关信息素养的在线模块之后。在六个不同的学期（2020 年和 2021 年）期间，在美国东南部 (US) 的一所公立大学注册在线介绍性款待课程的学生参与了这项研究。该研究包括让学生完成一项调查，阅读有关信息素养的模块并进行测验，并在完成这些步骤后反思信息素养。结果表明，学生、教师、图书馆员可以做更多的工作来提高酒店业的信息素养。提出了教学建议、进一步研究的建议和局限性。
