• Resumen

  • This qualitative study was conducted to determine the use of active learning in U.S. hospitality programs. The 23 study participants found that overcoming barriers to teach through active learning was worth the effort. A variety of active learning methods were identified, but the use of technology was very limited. There was no consensus that the use of active learning would increase in the future. Of concern is that no participant consulted the literature or other expert sources to adopt active learning, and participants only had anecdotal evidence to validate their claims that active learning is a more effective teaching method than passive learning.
