Culture-based traditional food experience (gastronomy) has become an exciting topic for tourists worldwide. This is because gastronomic tourism offers a new alternative to a tourist destination. Until now, studies that discuss how the intentions of Vietnamese and Indonesian tourists to choose traditional food for their tourism activities are still limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the antecedent factors that shape the intention of tourists to choose traditional food as a reason for tourism activities using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) approach. This study involved 345 Vietnamese and Indonesian tourists in providing information on the antecedent factors that shape the intention to choose traditional food. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of the study reveal that the attitude toward consuming traditional food and perceived control towards consuming traditional food influence the intention of tourists to choose gastronomy as the reason for their tourism activities. However, subjective norms towards consuming traditional food have not been able to influence tourists' intention to choose traditional food for travel. These findings provide important implications for the government and tourism practitioners to develop gastronomic tourism as a new alternative. In addition, various gastronomic tourism promotion programs consider tourist behavior need to be carried out.
Several studies indicated the low creative thinking skills of vocational high school students. The objective of this study is to describe the application of discovery learning models to improve the ability of the teachers to manage learning, student activities during the learning process, the student learning outcomes in terms of creative thinking skills, and the student responses to the learning activities. The research subjects were 35 students from the study program of Catering Food Service in a Public Vocational High School, SMK N 6 Surabaya. The lesson plan included the syllabus, learning implementation plans, student activity sheets, and assessment. Meanwhile, the data collection instruments included tests, observations, and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. The results showed that discovery learning model could improve the teacher's ability to manage the learning, students’ activities, learning outcomes of creative thinking skills, and students’ responses.
When computers take over routine tasks at work, a number of employees engage in tasks that require independent problem solving . Current learning systems should encourage students to move beyond the level of thinking that is lower in order to become personally self-sufficient . The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the Plan-Do-Review-Share-Happy (Plandoresh) strategy stages as an effort to develop independent learning for vocational school students. This study used a descriptive method with the aim of obtaining the validity of the Plandoresh strategy stages with a random sample of 78 respondents. The results showed that: 1) the Plan stage is valid with r count > r table of 0.849 > 0.227, 2) the Do stage is valid with r count > r table of 0.873, 3) the Review stage is valid with r count > r tabel 0,856, 4) Tahap Share valid dengan r hitung> r tabel 0,868, 5) Tahap Happy valid dengan r hitung > r tabel 0,929. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa tahapan strategi Plandores berlaku untuk diterapkan dalam upaya untuk mengembangkan belajar mandiri untuk kejuruan sekolah siswa.
