Vol.3, No.1B
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on everyone, especially in the hospitality industry. Most students worldwide, particularly at Bestlink College of the Philippines, are affected by this commotion. Online learning was eventually proposed to keep persevering students' skills in bartending subjects due to the need for more planning before the hands-on activities required to fulfil the students' knowledge. The effect of this academic year on student achievement and academic performance, particularly among BSHM graduating students, is still undetermined. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of bartending classes via online delivery mode for BSHM graduating students at Bestlink College of the Philippines.
The researchers used the descriptive method design to investigate the effectiveness of bartending classes via online delivery mode for BSHM graduating students. They gathered data from 100 respondents at Bestlink College of the Philippines using survey questionnaires administered via Google Forms.
The survey revealed that most respondents were in the normal age of 21-22, and both male and female respondents had the same percentage of 50%. Among the 100 respondents, 24% were working students, while the remaining 76% were non-working, and all were single.
Studying bartending subjects through an online delivery mode affects the graduating students regarding skills enhancement due to the lack of practical virtual demonstration and financial problems, as bartending courses may need financial capability. However, students can still improve their skills through teacher-student communication and collaborative discussions.
Based on the gathered data and conclusions drawn, the researchers formulated guidelines to enhance the skills of the respondents even while learning bartending subjects online, such as collaborative discussions between the teacher and student and the teachers' methodology and strategies with the use of actual demonstrations, video or audio lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and more. These guidelines will be important as they can contribute to student's academic success amidst the pandemic.
