Abstract

This research study explored the Vocational Educational Training (VET) teachers’ perspectives and experiences of a proposed Conceptual Blended Learning Framework (CBLF) model in a VET hospitality setting at the William Angliss Institute of Sydney (WAIS). The research aimed to explore teachers’ effectiveness and approaches to blended learning, delivering VET hospitality courses, and how this information could be used to improve student’s learning experiences and outcomes. Additionally, to underpin and strengthen WAIS overall VET educational policy of student-centred teaching and learning practices embedding technology-based learning and twenty-first-century skills and competences accommodating workplace-based learning. The study’s focus was to identify and recommend a best practice approach to a CBLF to deliver ongoing VET hospitality courses and potentially be recognized as a viable and transferrable teaching and learning model within the broader VET hospitality sector. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
