Abstract:
The educational field has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading many institutions to adopt online education as a solution to the problems caused by the virus. As a result, a learning modality that combines online and face-to-face instruction has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional classroom-based education. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by Hospitality Management students in this learning modality. The researchers employed a descriptive-quantitative technique, utilizing a survey questionnaire to gather the necessary data. The findings revealed that most participants did not show a significant difference in their communication preferences between face-to-face and online modalities. However, several issues were raised regarding the quality of online education and the need for increased opportunities for collaboration and interaction. These findings may have implications for the design and implementation of blended learning programs in the hospitality field.
