“…Techniques like case study, role-play, simulations, and selfevaluation might be very useful to meet this requirement. [2] The context for this paper is an event management course taught to third year students at Shanghai Polytechnic University, China. Case was used as a method to investigate the students' learning styles and needs for the teaching design in order to achieve the teaching objectives.…”

“…The three basic learning styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. [2], [6][7] 2nd International Conference on Social Science and Higher Education (ICSSHE 2016) According to the research, approximately 40% of the populations are visual learners, who like to see things written down. They learn best through software slides such as Power point, diagrams, and illustrations.…”

Abstract-The major purpose of education is to change the program participants. Therefore, learners are the reason for the learning activity in the first place. The objective of this paper is to discuss how to develop the teaching strategy by way of integrating students' learning style and learner outcome. The paper starts from the survey of the students' learning styles. It shows that among them, 51% are visual learners, 35% are auditory learners and 10% kinesthetic learners. There are very few who are mixed learners. Learner outcome is developed afterwards concerning cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. These are the three domains of learning. Research shows that the effective teaching strategy is to begin with an expository approach move on to participatory learning, and end the process with evaluative learning, thus providing students with as many experiences as possible. It is hoped that the findings of the paper will help the facilitators to create and format the successful learning experience for the students in order to achieve the goal of learner outcome. Limitations for further research are also discussed in the paper.

“…Research shows that active learning, which is deliberately designed, carefully implemented, cognitively focused, and thoughtfully evaluated, can improve student interest, motivation, and engagement (Hanson & Moser, 2003;Prince, 2004), enhance student knowledge and understanding of course content (Chickering & Gamson, 1987;Prince, 2004), increase retention (Braxton, Milem & Sullivan, 2000), help to develop lifelong learners (Clegg, 2000, cited in Wolfe, 2006, and improve student perceptions of teaching effectiveness (Scott, 2007). Prince (2004), in a review of the literature on active learning, declares that there is wide support from empirical research "for all forms of active learning" but particularly for active engagement methods: "The best available evidence suggests that faculty should structure their courses to promote collaborative and cooperative environments" (p. 7).…”

Teachers of tourism play an important role in assisting students to develop geographical knowledge and a sound understanding of tourism terminology and statistics, coupled with an ability to put these attributes into use in appropriate, creative, and competent ways. This article describes a multimedia-based teaching technique used in a New Zealand university tourism course and presents research findings regarding its impacts. In particular, the technique motivated students to attend and participate in class and contributed to a reported increase in tourism-related knowledge as well as an understanding of and appreciation for other cultures.

University professors often use case studies because they provide a fertile basis for the application of theoretical concepts to real world situations, enhancing student participation. The present correlational study aims to present social psychology's students from the University of Barcelona (UB) as active participants of their learning process through their work with case studies. Results demonstrate that students made significant learning through the writing of case studies, which has benefited their results in the final exam, course grades, and course's satisfaction.
