Vol.3, No.1B

Abstract

This study focuses on the virtual classes of BSHM students at Bestlink College of the Philippines during the school year 2021-2022. The target of this research is students from 1st year to 4th year college. The study aims to expand the learnings in the hospitality industry through virtual learning. The descriptive research method was used in this study, utilizing questionnaires, observation, and construction for the surveys among its respondents. The construction for the surveys is using Google Forms. The survey result revealed that most of the respondents are female. The respondents' profile by year level in terms of frequency and percentage distribution is good. The most common problem encountered among BSHM students in virtual classes is the internet connection, which affects the scores in the LMS, having audio clarity in times of poor connection, and difficulties in finishing tasks attending virtual meetings. Based on the gathered data and conclusions drawn, most affect their mental health; some become more motivated, and other students can clarify their doubts during lectures.

The impact of virtual classes on hospitality students is that technology provides several advantages. Online learning allows students to study on their timetable, which may be advantageous for those who struggle to focus in traditional classroom settings—crafting a guide on the implications of the virtual classes' consistency in objectivity and interpersonal relationships. Some students are willing to advise the next generation.
