Teaching and Learning

Our Role in Learning and Teaching

CHME adopts a proactive role in formulating policy and practice in learning and teaching in hospitality education within the UK.  CHME members have acted in an advisory capacity to the QAA on subject benchmark statements and assessment standards, to the British Council on hospitality education in the UK and to the QCA and People 1st on the new 14-19 hospitality diplomas.

CHME also has strong links with the Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism Network (HLST) Network, one of the Higher Education Academy’s 24 subject networks whose role is to encourage and disseminate best practice in learning and teaching.  CHME members sit on the Advisory Board for the HLST and one has the role of UK Liaison Officer for Hospitality. In addition, CHME members continually support the HLST by contributing to the free on-line educational resources provided by the network. 

At the CHME Annual Research Conference, a growing number of UK and international pedagogic researchers present their work through peer-reviewed papers that address a wide-range of current pedagogic issues within hospitality management education.
