The aim of this research is to understand the trends of scientific publications in the field of "tourism education" in the world and to reveal how authors, institutions and countries interact with each other in studies in the field of tourism. In this study, bibliometric analysis, which is described as both qualitative and quantitative research methods, was used. In this context, international publications (articles, papers, book chapters, etc.) published between 1987-2023 were examined within certain parameters (author, number of publications, keywords, country, etc.). Related scientific publications were searched in the Web of Science database on 11.07.2023 using the keyword "tourism education". As a result of the search, a total of 307 international scientific publications were reached. The VOSviewer software program was used to analyse these publications within the determined parameters. As a result of both the information provided by the Web of Science database and the analyses made, it has been determined that the most studies on tourism education belong to 2021 and the most references to 2022. It is seen that the majority of the studies conducted within the scope of the subject are in the type of articles and the English language is mostly used in the publications. It was concluded that the concepts of "tourism education", "education" and "tourism" are frequently used as keywords in the studies. The United States of America and the People's Republic of China have contributed to the development of the existing literature as the countries that publish the most on this topic. In addition, it has been determined that the studies on tourism education are mostly carried out in the fields of educational research and accommodation, leisure and sports tourism. In this context, a general evaluation of tourism education within the scope of international literature has been made in the study and a perspective has been presented to the new studies planned to be done.

ÖZ: Küresel özellik taşıyan ve yoğun bir rekabetin hâkim olduğu turizm endüstrisinde sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı elde etmenin yolu nitelikli hizmetten, yani nitelikli personelden geçmektedir. Nitelikli iş gücünün sağlanması noktasında da mesleki turizm eğitimi son derece önem arz etmektedir. Öte yandan, günümüzde gelişen teknolojiler ve insan yaşamındaki aktif kullanımı da göz önüne alındığında, turizm eğitiminde yeni teknolojilerden faydalanmanın ve eğitim süreçlerinin bu teknolojiler ile eşgüdümlü şekilde gerçekleştirilmesinin turizm eğitiminin niteliğini artıracağı, dolayısıyla endüstride ihtiyaç duyulan kalifiye iş gücünü yetiştirme noktasında katkı sağlayacağı görülmektedir. Diğer alanlarda da olduğu gibi turizm eğitiminde de kullanılan son teknolojilerden biri sanal gerçeklik teknolojisidir. Bu bağlamda, lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilerin eğitim sürecinde sanal gerçeklik teknolojisi uygulamalarını kullanım uyum süreçlerini ve bu süreci etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Davis (1989) tarafından geliştirilen Teknoloji Kabul Modeli baz alınarak oluşturulan anket çalışması İzmir ilinde bulunan devlet üniversitelerinde lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilere uygulanmış olup, elde edilen veriler SPSS analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda; algılanan kullanım kolaylığı, algılanan fayda ve eğlence boyutlarının kullanıma yönelik tutum üzerinde, algılanan fayda ve kullanıma yönelik tutum boyutlarının da davranışsal niyet üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. ABSTRACT: The way to gain sustainable competitive advantage in the tourism industry, which has a global feature and intense competition, passes through qualified service, that is, qualified personnel. Vocational tourism education is extremely important at the point of providing a qualified workforce. Also, considering the developing technologies and their integration into human life today, it is seen that utilizing new technologies in tourism education and carrying out the education processes in coordination with these technologies will increase the quality of tourism education and thus contribute to the training of the qualified workforce needed in the industry. As in other fields, one of the latest technologies used in tourism education is virtual reality technology. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to determine the adaptation processes of using virtual reality technology applications in the education process of students receiving tourism education at the undergraduate level and the factors affecting this process. For this purpose, the survey, which was created on the basis of the Technology Acceptance Model developed by Davis (1989), was applied to the students who received tourism education at the undergraduate level in the state universities in Izmir, and the obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS analysis program. In line with the findings obtained in the research; It was concluded that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and enjoyment dimensions had a statistically significant effect on attitude towards use, perceived usefulness and attitude towards use dimensions also had a statistically significant effect on behavioral intention.

After the 1950s, one of the fastest growing sectors has been the tourism sector. Except for exceptional periods of extraordinary developments, the number of tourists participating in tourism movements has increased every year, and in parallel with this, the expenditures made by tourists while performing these tourism movements have also increased significantly. It has become very important for the economies of countries to get the desired share from tourism revenues, which have increased significantly on a global scale. In the tourism sector, which increases its importance and weight day by day in the economies of countries, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries, competition has also increased rapidly. In order to stand out in this competition, ensuring customer satisfaction and service quality are recognized as the most important factors. The tourism sector, which is a labor-intensive sector, is among the sectors where face-to-face interaction with customers is at the highest level. Due to these characteristics, it is extremely important that the qualifications of employees in the tourism sector are at the desired level in terms of customer satisfaction and service quality. In order to train employees with the desired qualifications in the tourism sector, tourism education policies and practices implemented by countries are important. In Türkiye, where a tourism education system could not be established until the planned period, this goal was achieved with the studies carried out during the planned periods. Initially, tourism education in Turkey started with non-formal education activities and then spread to all levels of formal education, including formal education at the secondary level, associate, undergraduate and graduate levels. In this study, the history, structural status, non-formal and formal tourism education activities in Türkiye, mainly in the planned periods, are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Çevre turizm için en önemli arz kaynaklarından biridir. Turizmin sürdürülebilirliği için çevreye duyarlı bakış açısıyla hareket edilmesi, turizmin varlık sebeplerinden en önemlisi olan çevrenin korunmasına hizmet edeceğinden, turizme katkı sağlayacaktır. Günümüzde çevreci davranışlar için kişilerin motivasyonunu tespit etmeye hizmet eden çevreye karşı motivasyon kavramı pek çok araştırmanın konusu olmuştur. Bu araştırma turizm eğitimi almakta olan öğrencilerin çevreye karşı motivasyon düzeylerinin belirlenmesi, ayrıca öğrencilerin çevreye karşı motivasyonlarının demografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların çevreye karşı motivasyonlarını belirlemek amacıyla Pelletier vd. (1998) tarafından oluşturulmuş, 6 boyut ve 24 maddeden oluşan Çevreye Karşı Motivasyon Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Selçuk Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesi’nde eğitim görmekte olan öğrenciler (n=308) oluşturmaktadır. Nicel araştırma deseninde yapılan çalışmada betimsel ve nedensel-karşılaştırma yöntemi kullanılmış olup, veri edinme tekniği olarak anketten yararlanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak çevreye karşı motivasyon ölçeğinin insanların çevresel davranışlarda bulunmaya yönelik çeşitli motivasyonlarını ölçmek için orijinal ölçeğin geliştirildiği kültürel bağlamın dışında da kullanılabilen geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu, çevreye karşı motivasyonun alt boyutlarından olan özdeşleştirmenin en yüksek (x̄=4,31), motivasyonsuzluk alt boyutunun ise en düşük (x̄=1,65) ortalamaya sahip olduğu belirlenmiş, ayrıca çevreye karşı motivasyon ölçeği boyutlarından içsel motivasyon ile bütünleştirme boyutlarında cinsiyete göre farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Emek yoğun bir sektör olan turizmde müşteri memnuniyetinin sağlanabilmesi için kalifiye işgücü yetiştirmek ve eğitimli işgücünün istihdamı büyük önem arz etmektedir. Ancak turizm sektöründe yapılan araştırmalar, turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilerin önemli bir kısmının mezuniyetlerinin ardından turizm sektöründe çalışmadıklarına işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilerin turizm mesleğine yönelme faktörleri ile turizm sektöründeki istihdam ile ilgili görüşleri ve kariyer beklentilerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın evrenini 2019-2020 akademik yılında, Çankırı Karatekin Üniversitesi Ilgaz Turizm Ve Otelcilik Yüksekokulu ile Meslek Yüksekokulu Turizm ve Otel İşletmeciliği programında kayıtlı öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonucuna göre, öğrencilerin turizmde meslek sahibi olmaya yönelme algıları (kendi işini kurma, sosyal olanaklar ve eğitim ve öğretim boyutları) cinsiyet ve daha önce turizm eğitimi alıp almamış olmalarına göre farklılık göstermektedir. Ayrıca katılımcıların turizm sektöründe istihdam algıları (toplumun turizmde istihdam algısı boyutunda) ve kariyer beklentileri kayıtlı oldukları programı tercih değişkenlerine göre farklılaşmaktadır. EXTENDED SUMMARY Background Tourism education is one of the educational areas, but it is a type of education that is applied to meet the expectations of the sector in terms of Tourism. It is possible to express the concept of education in the field of tourism as “education system that aims to train students in the quality desired by the tourism sector and to transfer the information that has been the subject of tourism to the students” (Mısırlı, 2002, p. 41). The tourism sector, where competition conditions are very intense in the national and international arena, is a sector in which human power is essential. However, according to World Tourism Organization reports, despite the increase in the number of tourism graduates, it is noteworthy that the uneducated workforce is employed in the tourism sector among the problems faced by developing countries in terms of tourism employment (Cömert, 2014, p. 51). Research conducted in the tourism sector shows that the employees in the sector are mainly composed of people who have not received tourism education (Ünlüönen and Boylu, 2005, p. 25). Although one of the most important components of tourism, which is a labor-intensive industry, is the educated and qualified workforce that produces and delivers the service, the working conditions of the tourism industry cause students who receive tourism education to have a negative attitude towards the sector (Türker et al., 2016, p. 313). When it is considered that they are potential representatives of the sector and that they are likely to be employed, it is important to determine the thoughts of the students in the education process of the students (Atay and Yıldırım, 2008, p. 7). The studies point to some factors underlying the orientation of students who have studied tourism to different fields of study after graduation. It is emphasized that this negative situation arising in the studies on career choice is largely due to the perception that the tourism profession has low social reputation (Seymen, Bolat, Bolat, and Kinter, 2017). As the reasons for the low perception of this reputation; low wages, long working hours, tiring and irregular, insufficient job security and security and high employment turnover, not giving the necessary attention to education, etc. (Pelit and Öztürk, 2010; Avcı, 2011; Türker et al., 2016; Akış Roney and Öztin, 2007). Purpose This study, in which the students who take tourism education, are interested in the tourism profession and their perspectives on making a career in the sector, will make an important contribution to the literature. For the purposes of the study, the relationship between gender, the type of program they are enrolled in and the preferences of the participants and their views on employment in the tourism sector and their career prospects were examined. In addition, the relationship between gender, background of tourism education and family employment in tourism and perceptions of orientation to become a profession in tourism was examined. Methodology The universe of the research consists of undergraduate and associate degree tourism students at Çankırı Karatekin University. In the research, a questionnaire, one of the quantitative data collection techniques, was used to collect primary data. The questionnaire used consists of three parts. The first part of the questionnaire is to define demographic features such as gender, education level, previous tourism education, tourism internship, the presence of employees in the family tourism sector and the preference status of the registered program. In the second part, the scale consisting of 30 expressions and 8 factors, which was created by scanning the previous article of Sarıışık (2007), was used to determine the factors leading the students who received tourism education to have a profession in the tourism sector. In the third part, a scale consisting of 22 expressions and 6 factors developed by Aymankuy and Aymankuy (2013) for determining the employment and career expectations of students in the tourism sector was used. The research scales were prepared in five-point Likert type (1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, and 5=Strongly Agree). The data obtained from the questionnaires were evaluated with the IBM SPSS program. Descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T Test and One-Way ANOVA correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results and Conclusions As a result of this research, it was determined that the students ' orientation towards the tourism sector was to know different cultures and people (x=4.18); to travel further (x=4.07); and to wish to see new and different places (x=4.06). The statement that has the least impact on the students ' orientation towards the tourism sector is that their family has a job related to tourism (x=2.67). When the opinions of the tourism students about employment in the tourism sector and their career expectations are examined, the view that working in the tourism sector is enjoyable and fun is the expression of the highest average value (x = 4.02). The opinion (x = 4.02) that it is easier to study in the tourism sector by getting tourism education at the undergraduate / associate level attracts attention. Working hours are regular in the tourism sector, the expression with the lowest average value (x = 2.60). This result, which shows that students' perceptions about working conditions in the sector are negative, is in line with the results of other studies in the literature (Türker et al., 2016; Kuşluvan and Kuşluvan, 2000). The results of this research show that social status and wages are important factors that motivate students to work in the tourism sector (Zubaidah et al., 2016, Lu and Adler 2009; Sarıışık, 2007) coincide with the results of previous research. This situation indicates a merit-based application requirement in terms of employment, promotion and wage in the sector. Employers should implement an appropriate wage system to prevent well-educated employees from leaving the industry and moving to different fields. This study was limited only to students who were considered candidates for the profession. For future studies on this subject, it may be useful to carry out studies for those who are currently employed in the tourism sector and managers. Investigating the differences and similarities between the graduates who are employed in the sector and the students who continue their education can make important contributions to the literature.

This research aims to reveal the cognitive structures of the 2nd grade students studying in the Tourism and Hotel Management Program at Samsun Vocational School, about the concepts related to the concept of smart tourism, using the Word Association Test (WAT). Word Association Test is an alternative to assessment and evaluation techniques. In line with the purpose, the word association test related to the concept of smart tourism was applied to 40 students in the aforementioned department. The obtained data were evaluated by creating a frequency table. A concept map was created in line with the words in the frequency table. They were asked to construct a sentence related to the key concept and the sentences were analyzed by classifying them according to their meanings and characteristics. According to the findings, the most frequently used words by students regarding the concept of smart tourism consist of concepts such as internet, technology, computer, which are evaluated within the scope of information and communication technologies. It is among the results obtained that students have misconceptions related to smart tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to measure the quality of tourist guidance education at the undergraduate level according to the opinions of the students. The Tourist Guidance Education Quality Scale was applied to 916 students from nine universities, selected through multi-stage cluster sampling method. In data analysis, independent samples t-test, one-factor analysis of variance, Tukey test, and descriptive analysis were used. The study reveals that the students' perceptions on program and teaching quality, management and support services, teaching environment, teaching outcomes, and general quality were moderate, and their academic staff's quality perceptions were good. The gender, grade, and academic success of the tourist guide candidates did not show a significant difference on their perceptions of quality. In addition, it was revealed that the candidates' accommodation, career preferences, and ages had a significant difference in their perceptions of quality. This research is expected to serve in quality management practices in tourist guidance education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Foreign language skills are important in establishing communication between guest and host community in tourism. Unfortunately, at universities, which are responsible for teaching the foreign language skills needed by students in tourism education, acquisition of speaking skills constitute the most challenging issue in practice. At this point, the willingness to communicate (WTC) is an issue that needs to be explored as one of the factors that are supposed to affect success in second and foreign language learning. Therefore; the study aims to investigate the relationship between the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of undergraduate tourism students and their WTC in English. In the study, quantitative research was adopted and questionnaire technique was used to collect the data. The concept of basic psychological needs are discussed in three dimensions as autonomy, competence and relatedness whereas the dimensions of WTC in English are WTC Native speakers, WTC Non-native speakers and WTC classmates. In the study, confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis, ANOVA and t-test, correlation and, regression analysis were used. According to the findings of the study, autonomy positively affects the WTC in English in all communicative contexts. While proficiency is effective in WTC Native and Non-native speakers, relatedness affects WTC non-native speakers and WTC classmates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turizmsektöründe kariyer yapmak amacıyla turizm eğitimi alan öğrencilerin sektörekarşı tutumlarının belirlenmesi ve bu tutumlarının turizm sektöründe kariyerseçimlerine etkisinin ortaya konulması verilen turizm eğitiminin kaliteliolması açısından önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda yapılan bu çalışmada,turizm eğitimi almakta olan öğrencilerin sektöre karşı olan tutumları ve bututumlarının mezuniyet sonrası kariyer seçimlerine etkilerinin belirlenmesiamaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni Akdeniz Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesiöğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin turizm sektörüne yönelik tutumlarınıve öğrencilerin turizm sektöründe kariyer yapma isteklerini ölçmeye yönelikifadeler faktör analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Uygulanan faktör analizi sonucunda,ankete katılan öğrencilerin turizm sektörüne yönelik tutumlarını oluşturan 8faktör elde edilmiştir. Bu 8 faktör içerisinde öğrencilerin mezuniyetsonrasında sektörde kariyer yapma isteklerini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerin“kişi- endüstri uyumu”, “iş arkadaşlığı ile işe bağlılık” ve “yöneticilerintutumu” olduğu saptanmıştır.

Turizm sektörü hizmete dayalı bir sektördür. Bu özelliğinden dolayı, turizm sektörü içerisinde yer alan işletmelerde sunulan hizmetin kalitesi de oldukça önem arz etmektedir. Kaliteli hizmet sunmak için ise, eğitimli personele ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Ülkemizde sektörün ihtiyaç duyduğu eğitimli personel ihtiyacını karşılamak amacıyla lise, ön lisans, lisans, lisansüstü düzeyinde turizm eğitimi veren kurumlar bulunmaktadır. Sektörün ihtiyacı olan eğitimli çalışan ihtiyacını karşılama noktasında yükseköğretim kurumları önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yükseköğretim kurumları içerisinde ise, özellikle eğitimli ara eleman tedariki konusunda ön lisans eğitiminin yeri oldukça önemlidir. Ancak sektörde faaliyet gösteren işletmeler hizmet sunmak için çeşitli maliyetlere katlanmak zorundadırlar. Bu nedenle hizmet kalitesi kadar maliyetlerin kontrolü de önemli bir konudur. Bu da muhasebe bilgisiyle sağlanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, verilen turizm eğitiminde muhasebe derslerinin de yer alması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmada, ön lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi veren meslek yüksekokullarının müfredatları incelenecektir. Söz konusu müfredatlar içerisinde muhasebe derslerinin bulunup bulunmadığı analiz edilecek ve mevcut muhasebe dersleri de yeterlilik ve çeşit açısından incelenecektir.

In this research, quantitative and qualitative research techniques were used together to evaluate the quality of higher education. Firstly, a questionnaire was applied to students who were educated in the Kartepe Tourism Vocational School of Kocaeli University and T-test, Oneway ANOVA test and correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. And then interviews with students were conducted and descriptive analysis was applied to the data. As a consequence of the research, it was determined that students' perceptions of higher education quality differed according to gender and girls had a higher level of education perceptions than boys. Again, according to the high school education received by the students, the perceptions of the teaching differed and the perceptions of high school graduates were found to have higher quality perceptions. There was a significant and positive relationship between teaching quality dimensions. When the results of qualitative data are evaluated; it has been determined that the lack of facilities and equipment adversely affects the quality of teaching and that accessibility to academic and administrative staff contributes to the efficiency of education by providing time for solving problems, foreign language courses are essential for tourism departments and increasing the diversity of vocational courses will increase the quality of vocational education.

Bu çalışmada ön lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi almakta olan üniversite öğrencilerinin, turizm sektöründe kariyere yönelik algılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi bünyesindeki Meslek Yüksekokullarındaki, Turizm ve Otel İşletmeciliği ve Aşçılık programlarında 2014-2015 akademik yılında eğitim gören 312 öğrenciye anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizi, frekans analizleri, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskall-Wallis testleri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin büyük bir kısmının turizm sektörüne yönelik olumlu bir tutum içerisinde oldukları saptanmıştır. Okudukları program ilk tercihi olan öğrencilerin kariyere yönelik algılarının daha yüksek bir ortalamaya sahip olduğu ve geleceğe yönelik kariyer algılarının diğer öğrencilere göre olumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca aşçılık programı öğrencilerinin kariyere yönelik algılarının, Turizm Ve Otel İşletmeciliği programı öğrencilerine göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Turizm sektöründe gelişimin sağlanabilmesi ve rekabetin sürdürülebilmesinde bu sektörün çalışanları hayati öneme sa¬hiptirler. İyi bir eğitim almış ve alanında deneyimli çalışanlar yalnızca işletmeler arasındaki rekabetin değil, aynı zamanda bölgesel, ulusal ve uluslararası rekabetin de önemli aktörleridir. Çalışanların bu önemi onlara turizm alanında iyi bir eğitim ve¬rilmesinin yanı sıra teoriyle uygulamanın birlikte gerçekleştirile¬rek öğrenilenlerin pekiştirilmesini ve sektörün yakından tanıtıl¬masını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Nitekim, turizm eğitimi veren orta ve yüksek öğretim kurumlarının pek çoğunda bu amaçla staj uygulamaları eğitimin önemli bir parçası haline getirilmiş ve zorunlu kılınmıştır. Bu çalışmada sektörün geleceğini ilgilendiren staj uygulaması¬nın öğrenciler için ne kadar verimli bulunduğu, stajdan ne kadar faydalanıldığı araştırılmış ve çeşitli çözüm önerileri sunulmuş¬tur. Elde edilen bulgular, staj uygulama¬larında karşılaşılan çeşitli güçlükler ile yanlış uygulamaların hem işletmeleri, hem de öğrencileri güç duruma soktuğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
