The Hospitality management program has no evidence of a fixed learner-centred didactic approach such as PBL, E-learning or Resource-based learning (RBL). In considering PBL, we raised questions: Why PBL? To what extent are staff and learners prepared for PBL? What are the characteristics of the curriculum when implementing PBL etc? This paper highlights these and other questions. The outcome shows that principles of PBL are extremely applicable to Hospitality but that timetabling within the program is a concern. 2015-09-03T08:35:02Z 2015-09-03T08:35:02Z 2009 2009 Article 1684498X http://hdl.handle.net/11462/359 en_US Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal;Vol 8, Issue 1 Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein 762 520 bytes, 1 file Application/PDF Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 8, Issue 1: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein
