Efficacy Of Technical-Vocational Education And Training Delivery Among Hotel And Restaurant Management Students Of Sulu Amidst The Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to assess how well Sulu College of Technology, Inc.'s hotel and restaurant management students were receiving technical-vocational education and training during the academic year 2021–2022. It used a descriptive-correlational study design. Through the use of frequency counts, a simple percentage distribution, and a purposive sampling technique, a total of 100 participants were selected. The selection process took place at the Jolo, Sulu-based Sulu College of Technology, Inc.'s hospitality management department. Despite the difficulties provided by the COVID-19 epidemic, the findings showed a highly effective execution of technical-vocational education and training in the areas of culinary arts, hospitality management, and occupational health and safety. The efficiency of Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) during the COVID-19 pandemic was strongly positively correlated with how well it was delivered, according to the study. This association was specifically noted in the areas of housekeeping, occupational health and safety, and baking and cookery. The demographic traits of the respondents, such as gender, age, year of birth, and parental educational attainment, do not significantly affect the delivery of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to students majoring in hotel and restaurant management at Sulu College of Technology, Inc. in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is advised that Sulu College of Technology, Inc.'s administrators continue providing technical-vocational education and training (TVET) in an efficient manner and take into account expanding its supplemental training programs beyond baking and cooking, housekeeping, and occupational health and safety. Vocational-technical educators should be the target audience for these programs. To meet the demands of the current market, it is also important to purchase more training facilities and equipment. Additionally, it is advised that student researchers in the field of educational administration conduct comparable investigations to evaluate the execution of various vocational-technical programs and courses in a variety of settings.
