This study explores student motivations in choosing the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were gathered through an adapted structured survey questionnaire from the study of Ouano et al. (2019). The survey was encoded in Google Forms and distributed to 180 first-year students enrolled in the program at Northeastern College, Santiago City, Isabela, selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that the majority of respondents were teenagers aged 17-19, with 63% being female and mostly graduates of the HUMMS strand in Senior High School. Additionally, 68% of respondents come from low-income families. The study concludes that four main factors significantly influence students’ motivation to choose the program: knowledge of future job opportunities in the hospitality and tourism industry, personal interest, passion, and the institution’s reputation for producing proficient graduates. Although peer influence is present, it is the least motivator in the decision-making process.

2025-07-25T08:17:23+00:00

With the development of globalization and Industry 4.0, the internationalization of vocational education has become an important way to enhance the international competitiveness of regional talents. As a typical cold-region border province in Northeast China, Jilin Province has made certain progress in the introduction of international courses, internationalization of teachers, and integration of industry certifications in higher vocational colleges. However, the overall level still lags behind advanced regions in China, which restricts the international adaptability of technical and skilled talents. Based on the theories of human capital and competitive advantage, this paper uses a combination of questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews to analyze the influence mechanism of international input and certification transformation in higher vocational colleges in Jilin Province on students’ knowledge transfer ability, cultural adaptability, and technical competitiveness, and puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. The research results show that the degree of internationalization and certification transformation have a significant positive effect on the international competitiveness of talents, and policy support and cross-cultural differences have a moderating effect on their influence. The research conclusions provide theoretical support and operational paths for the internationalization practice of vocational education in the cold regions of Northeast China.

2025-07-25T08:21:57+00:00

Indigenous Languages refer to the native languages that belong to a particular place. This research paper is an investigation into the role of Yorùbá language education in providing solutions to the moral vices affecting national development in Nigeria. There have been concerns in the past years over the decrease in values such as hard work, honesty, respect for the elders, communal responsibility, and integrity — all of these and more were a major part of our indigenous cultures. Drawing on sociolinguistic and cultural descriptive analysis, the paper is of the opinion that language is not only a means of communication but also a tangible tool for onward transmission of culture, preservation of positive values (ìwà ọmọlúàbí), and ethical re-orientation. Content analysis of proverbs, folktales, songs, riddles and traditional pedagogies in Yorùbá was employed for the study and the study reveals that Yorùbá language education is an ambodiment of rich moral values that aligns with developmental goals of the nation. It concludes that to bridge the moralvices hindering national unity and development, stakeholders must elevate Yorùbá language education beyond symbolic recognition to a functional medium of instruction and subject of study across all levels and character formation, mose especially at the foundational level of education. Recommendations include implementation of the Nigerian language policy, curriculum reforms, teacher training and re-training, and policy commitment to indigenous language revitalization as part of a broader national development strategy.
