ABSTRACT

According to previous study, in order to be successful in the hospitality business, students must get work
experience in addition to earning their degrees. Although the value of such experience from an industry
perspective has been extensively documented, few studies have examined the benefits and problems that
students confront. The goal of this study was to look into the advantages and disadvantages that
hospitality students may face when working while pursuing their degrees. Google Forms were utilized to
gather the responses of hospitality students and in this study that included 35 BSHM students of ISPSC.
Because the goal of this study is to describe the relationship between the research skills, competencies,
and attitudes of BSHM students and the profile of the respondents, we used descriptive-correlational-
developmental research for the research design. We also used developmental research to see if the study
meets the criteria of internal consistency and effectiveness. The researcher used simple random sampling
method as the respondents will be chosen randomly from the ISPSC. The chosen location is a convenient
site since the school offers BSHM program.
Keywords: BSHM Students, Research Skills, Competencies

1.0 Introduction

All through 300 school and college programs in the Philippines and all throughout the planet

offer two and four-year college degrees in cordiality and the travel industry, getting ready

understudies for vocations in the accommodation business (ICHRIE, n.d.). Given the quantity of

various functional fragments included under the rubric of accommodation enterprises, all

remarkable substances sharing normal cordiality and the travel industry components: eateries,

lodgings, travel, attractions, shows, and relaxation, these projects face a test in instructing

future chiefs and leaders (Ottenbacher, Harrington, and Parsa, 2009). Practical experience and

an awareness of how the sector operates in a professional setting are part of a student's

experience and collegiate preparation in industry-based programs like hospitality.

To collect industry openness and experience for understudies, numerous university programs

offer temporary jobs or helpful learning encounters to give important experience inside

controlled and observed industry settings (Beggs, Ross, and Goodwin, 2008; Dickerson and

Kline, 2008). According to Raybould and Wilkins (2006), for understudies to be productive,

neighborliness the executive’s programs should address both understudies and industry

difficulties, developing ranges of skills essential in the business while achieving the academic

thoroughness demanded by establishments. Understudies and graduates who do not gain

additional experience may be insufficiently prepared for the work and demands of the lodging

industry (Alonso and O'Neill, 2011; Tesone, 2002). Understudies and graduates who do not gain

additional experience may be insufficiently prepared for the work and demands of the

accommodation industry (Alonso and O'Neill, 2011; Tesone, 2002).

Students who work, on the other hand, experience difficulties such as onerous time

commitments, stress, and other factors that impair academic achievement (Curtis, 2007;

Holmes, 2008; Robotham, 2009). According to Chen and Gurosy (2007), new graduates must

have a diversified skill set and behavioral attributes in order to compete for job prospects. The

better equipped graduates are when it comes to entering the labor market and achieving long-

term success, the better.

As indicated by the discoveries of an investigation directed by Gilmore and Feldon (2010),

graduate understudies' instructing and examination abilities enhance normal throughout a

scholastic year, since commitment with educating advances research expertise advancement

while commitment with exploration might further develop instructing abilities.

Today's research skills must be cultivated in such a way that students in higher education can

make them their own for the long term. This type of competency is mostly provided in the areas

of methodological domain, information collection, and document-writing standards and

technology tools management. Furthermore, the value of having mediating didactics is

acknowledged (Aguirre, 2016). In its abilities system, the Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development considers the following abilities: the development of significant

skills, their implementation in the labor market, and the excellent exploitation of such capacities

for the economy and society (OECD, 2017). The following are the exploration skills identified by

Mogonea and Remus Mogonea(2019) as necessary for conducting an academic examination

project: gathering new information, identifying instructive issues, amalgamation and

argumentation, metacognition, knowledge of new examination techniques, the ability to foster


Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

exploration devices, and translation and dissemination of results. Research Skills are

appropriate to a wide scope of fields and can even be utilized to associate them. As indicated by

specific examinations, working with contacts between scholastics from different exploration

points inside a subject is gainful (Hills and Richards, 2013). Accordingly, research skills are

drawn nearer from a few points. The focal point of this investigation is on those that take into

consideration the advancement of scholarly perusing and composing, as this is a region that

should be fortified in light of the fact that it is fundamental for college understudies to have the

option to fathom an assortment of texts and to compose with scholastic thoroughness.

2.0 Related Studies

Deciding if understudies' scholarly and expert encounters have possible advantages or

difficulties has for quite some time been discussed. Analysts have endeavored to recognize both

neighborliness understudies' and industry experts' discernments with an end goal to all the

more likely decide obligation to the business, assumptions held by the partners, and possible

consequences for turnover as new gatherings of representatives enter the cordiality business

every year. The survey of writing introduced here is in three significant areas. The primary area

looks at the advantages and difficulties of both neighborliness and non-accommodation

understudy work encounters and furthermore joins helpful schooling experience. The

subsequent segment, discernments and thoughts of key partners, comprises of understudy and

chief insights and related occupation fulfillment research. The keep going segment remembers

data for instruction and learning, and spotlights on difficulties experienced by the scholarly

world and industry.

Hospitality programs should furnish understudies with thorough scholarly courses while

additionally presenting them to various pragmatic learning openings; a particularly adjusted

instructive experience will set up the present understudies to be the upcoming directors.

Regularly friendliness programs offer exceptional course contributions and encounters for

understudies. A couple of ongoing examinations have analyzed likenesses and contrasts among
Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

programs and are introduced beneath. Also, insights and thoughts of industry (chiefs), and

those of instructive foundations (heads and educators) are inspected.

The hospitality industry is probably the biggest business on the planet. About 90% of US labor

force is utilized in the assistance areas of which many are important for the different areas of

the accommodation business (Madanoglu, Moreo, and Leong, 2003).Millions of occupations,

with billions of dollars in financial commitments are created either straightforwardly or in a

roundabout way by the cordiality business in the United States alone, which helps huge portions

of society, just as the bureaucratic, state, and neighborhood governments (Goeldner and Ritchie,

2009). The neighborliness business is additionally one of the most expanded enterprises on the

planet due to the wide number of various occupations and callings associated with it. The

business likewise works on provincial, public, just as worldwide levels and includes various

areas of an economy like government, non-benefit, and for benefit. To comprehend the elements

of accommodation schooling, have a shortsighted, yet, itemized perspective of the

neighborliness business. A few exploration works have characterized and sorted the business.

Research Skills are at this point not required exclusively by those focusing on research work, yet

they are critical to all college graduates, whether or not they plan to work in research, in people

in general or the private area. The expanding intricacy of society and working life requires

better comprehension of scientific results and examination-based correspondence (Lehtinen

2007; Murtonen et al. 2007). As per Tynja¨la¨ et al. (2006), new information serious work

associations are not just utilizing and applying information delivered in the college, but at the

same time are themselves creating, changing and overseeing information to make

advancements. This implies that the job of advanced education organizations isn't just to get

ready alumni proficient to act in these new positions, yet in addition to instruct laborers who

add to the improvement of working life (Va¨limaa et al. 2006). Greer (2000) brings up that the

measure of data dependent on research and factual investigation is filling in our general public.

Specialized turn of events and the expanding measure of data delivered and made accessible by

PCs and electronic organizations, require the abilities to deal with this data in numerous
Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

occupations, particularly in callings requesting scholarly training. Hence, abilities to see how

information is made and changed in our general public are integral to college graduates.

College schooling isn't, in any case, consistently ready to furnish understudies with practical

originations of their future work. Colleges' examination strategies courses are frequently

capable as troublesome, dull and tedious by numerous college social and conduct science

understudies. Colleges are spending tremendous assets on research guidance; however, the

results are not as great true to form (Lehtinen and Rui 1995, Rautopuro et al. 2007). Troubles

experienced by understudies are not diminishing, yet rather expanding during courses

(Murtonen 2005). Prob-lems in the learning of examination can bring about sluggish movement

rates (Meyer et al. 2005; Kiley and Mullins 2005), and in different kinds of hesitation during

instruction. Diffi-culties in the learning of examination might even affect understudies' future

vocation choices.

3.0 Methodology

The respondents of this research will be the BSHM students of ISPSC which had a deeper

understanding and wide experience in out study. They were chosen because their knowledge to

research has to do with the purpose of this research.

3.4 Sampling Method

The researcher used simple random sampling method as the respondents will be chosen

randomly from the ISPSC. The chosen location is a convenient site since the school offers BSHM

program.

3.5 Research Instrument

Interview with the guide of questionnaire are the major tools in gathering data and

information needed for the study. Documentation and observation supplemented these as

well. Semi-structured questionnaire and a checklist will be used to conduct an interview from

the respondents.

The interview guide does not go into details but it only provides ideas and allows the

interviewer to pursue freely relevant topics in depth. The items provide flexibility in the

manner order and language of questioning. These help the researchers for more probing and

in-depth investigation. Observation will be conducted to support the data gathering.

3.6 Data Gathering Procedure

acquire the data needed. All the answers gathered are recorded online, and only the researcher

have access to that. The aim is to describe the research attitude, skills, and competencies of

BSHM students. As far as data gathering procedure is concerned, the conduction of the

research involves the use of a semi-structured questionnaire which was used as an interview

guide for the researchers towards the satisfaction of research objectives. The researchers used

interview guide because after answering the google forms the researchers also ask some

questions to perfectly acquire the data needed.

3.7 Statistical Treatment


Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

To describe the profile of the respondents and research attitude, skills and competencies of

BSHM students in different factors, the researchers will use the frequency and percentage

distribution.

To identify the frequency and percentage distribution, the researchers will use the following

formula:

Frequency was actually the number of responses to specific questions in the

questionnaire. Percentage of each score will be computed by using the formula:

P (%) = n/Nx100

Where: P = percentage

n = number of responses falling under a particular category

N= Total number of respondents

To describe the relationship between the profile of the BSHM students and research attitude,

skills, and competencies, the researchers will use the chi-square at 0.05 level of significance.

5.2 Recommendations

Based on the conclusion, the researchers hereby present the following recommendations:

a. Make sure you're familiar with the task. This may seem self-evident, but knowing what

your professor or teacher is looking for before you start writing your research paper is

essential. Many students overlook this stage and then wonder why they received a low

score on a paper on which they worked hard and were excited. The most common cause

is a failure to read the instructions. Spend some time going over the task again. Examine
Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

everything you've been provided by your instructor. Pay close attention to the writing

assignment, prompts, grading rubric, and any other materials you've been given. It may

also be good to highlight and take notes on the assignment. Take some time to think

about what you'll be writing and how you'll be evaluated. And if you have any questions,

don't hesitate to ask! Before deciding on a topic, seek clarification from your teacher.

You'll know you're on the correct track if you do things this way.

b. Choose a topic. It's time to determine what to write about in your research paper now

that you know what you're supposed to write about. This can be intimidating, but don't

get too worked up over it. Writing about something you're interested in or passionate

about can be really beneficial, but don't worry about coming up with the right topic. In

many circumstances, a contentious topic is good since it allows you to practice

objectively explaining opposing viewpoints and even defending one if the task requires

it. Utilize the rules given by your educator to assist you with picking a subject for your

article. Pick an alternate topic on the off chance that you have a most loved subject yet

are experiencing difficulty fitting it under the principles. Elucidating a theme that is

pertinent to the task will be simpler for you over the long haul. You ought to be keen on

the theme you're examining, however you don't need to cherish it. It's likewise nice to

realize that you may utilize this test composing fill in as a chance to find out with

regards to a genuinely new thing. You will be an overall expert when this experience is

through, yet you don't have to know everything at the present time.

c. Research. Furthermore, presently comes the part you've all been hanging tight for:

research! This progression is fairly versatile; various people will lead their examination

for a paper differently. Notwithstanding, it's basic to stay thought and move quickly. All

things considered; you actually have an exploration paper to compose. When doing

research, keep in mind to 1) skim, 2) identify credible sites, and 3) don't overlook

material. First and foremost, skimming. You don't have to read everything that has ever

been written about your issue in detail. You probably won't be able to. Get used to
Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

skimming through information rapidly. Learn how to recognize significant ideas and

arguments without becoming engrossed in reading every single word. Then, search for

reliable sources. Despite the fact that it might conflict with what you've been advised,

you can make an exploration paper utilizing Wikipedia. Notwithstanding, you can't

depend on it as a last source. You can utilize nonexclusive sources like Wikipedia to find

out more about a subject, distinguish catchphrases that will assist you with growing

your investigation, and quickly grasp huge measures of information. In any case, you

should find trustworthy hotspots for the data you use in your paper. Dig deeper into

what you've learnt from a Google search or a Wikipedia article. Examine the article's

sources, use keywords from your internet search to search an academic database, or ask

an expert whether what you discovered is true and, if so, where you can locate a

reputable source that says the same thing. To be clear, you can utilize Wikipedia as a

beginning point for your study, but you should not use Wikipedia as one of your

research paper's key sources. Finally, information should not be overlooked. You can

find an article that says exactly what you're looking for. Is it true that octopus DNA is

made up of impenetrable DNA from outer space? Are the pinnacles of Disney World's

Cinderella Castle detachable in the event of a tropical storm? Did a cook try to

assassinate George Washington by causing him to eat tomatoes? You can discover

publications claiming that each of the three previous statements is true; but, digging

deeper reveals that they are unquestionably false. Because you locate one article stating

that something is true, it does not necessarily imply that it is a fact that you may utilize

in your evaluation. Work to fathom the entirety of the different perspectives and ways of

thinking regarding your matter. This can be refined by perusing an assortment of

articles, perusing a book or article that gives an outline of the subject and incorporates a

few perspectives, or talking with a specialist who can clarify the point in more

prominent profundity.

d. Make plan for your research. So, since you have the entirety of this information, how

would you manage it? The fourth step involves getting coordinated. Shifted individuals

have various inclinations around here, similarly as in research. It might likewise be

controlled by the idea of your task. With regards to masterminding your exploration, a

reference index is useful.

e. Create a thesis. You're prepared to offer your own viewpoint, contention, or guarantee

since you realize what you've been approached to do, that you've picked a subject that

suits the task, and that you've investigated and organized that data. Your paper needs a

proposal regardless of whether you're not contending possibly in support of anything. A

proposal is a compact explanation that you, as the analyst and writer, make for the

peruses of your work to clarify or demonstrate what you're endeavoring to say.

f. Create an outline. Everything's tied in with organizing your paper when you make a

blueprint. Try not to be excessively equation based, however following examples and

guides may be helpful. You might have composed three-or five-passage expositions in

secondary school, and it's fine to use those equivalent examples for a school research

paper, however be certain the style you pick is proper for your task. Three or five

essential segments couldn't work for your examination paper if your proposition just

has two principal thoughts. On the off chance that the task expects you to present a

subject, depict a few perspectives on the point, and afterward pick and clarify your own

perspective, your paper will in all likelihood incorporate three essential segments, one

for every one of those objectives.

g. Compose. At last, it's an ideal opportunity to plunk down and create your paper. You

might feel like you ought to have started composing sooner, yet relax: the work you've

done hitherto is critical. It will help you recorded as a hard copy an exploration paper

that is solid, clear, and charming. Try not to be a fussbudget when you're composing. Try

not to worry over tracking down the ideal words, adjusting your language, or concocting
Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College: Santa Maria MAED201/MSE201: Statistics Instructor: Cherie B. Orpia

the ideal title. As you change, there is still an ideal opportunity to consummate your

examination paper. At this moment, you should simply write.

h. Make a content edit. Require a moment to praise yourself since you've finished your

paper. You've invested a ton of energy to arrive! Return to work after that. Your paper

actually must be altered before it tends to be sent in. Recollect how you weren't

intended to be worried about flawlessness? You don't should be concerned, however

presently is the second to make your paper as incredible as could really be expected.

i. Make a spelling and grammar check. It's also crucial to check for errors in syntax. This

may appear difficult, but there are a variety of tools and resources available to assist

you. Use Grammarly or Strunk and White's Elements of Style if you don't know how to

handle commas, semicolons, or run-on sentences. Sentence structure changes, like

content changes, may require several iterations. On the off occasion that you need to

take a vacation, it's acceptable. It may even assist you in returning to your composition

with a more involved mindset, which is critical for detecting and correcting errors.

j. Reread your research paper before submitting. In the event that you've just perused

your paper on a screen up until this point, printing a duplicate and perusing it on paper

can be useful. While perusing on your PC, you might see blunders or designing

challenges that your eyes missed. It's an ideal opportunity to present your examination

paper whenever you've investigated it once again and twofold made sure that it meets

the entirety of the task's prerequisites.
