Abstract
Tourism and hospitality educators have been encouraged to implement various student-oriented teaching practices beyond conventional teacher-directed approaches. This exploratory study focuses on how teachers integrate this concept into their classroom practices and students' learning experience. Reflective action research was used as a conceptual framework, focusing on the four main indicators such as content structure, individual engagement with learning, peer interactions, and student reflection on the learning process. The results of this study indicated significant benefits of the student-centred approach. However, several problems and difficulties were identified, and this paper gives a number of strategies and recommendations for improvement.
