Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the level of sufficiency of flexible learning experience among hospitality management students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, it aimed to determine differences in the influence of sex and year level on the level of the flexible learning experience. This study employed a descriptive-survey research design with a researcher-made questionnaire that has passed validity and reliability tests. The validity procedure was done by a panel of experts, whereas, the reliability procedure was done through a test-retest method utilizing 30 tourism management students as trial respondents. The study was conducted on 132 hospitality management students of Northern Iloilo State University- Victorino Salcedo Sara Campus, who were selected purposively due to the COVID-19 situational limitations. All communications to conduct the study were approved and obtained. The data gathered were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 and EXCEL 2016 spreadsheet programs. The findings revealed that the level of sufficiency of flexible learning experience among BSHM students was generally high. There were no significant differences in the level of sufficiency of flexible learning experience among the students when they were classified according to sex and year level.
