Methodology
How students learn at Ostelea
Our objective is to enable students to acquire the experience and basic competencies they need to perform their profession and, as such, enable them to provide solutions to society’s needs in relation to the hospitality and tourism industry.
At Ostelea, education is a continuous and dynamic process that spans from the classroom into society, equipping students with competencies that enable them to interact better with their environment and achieve the objectives they have set.
- Evaluation of the competencies acquired. Assessing competencies enables students’ progress to be monitored at all times, letting them ascertain their current status and level of improvement with reference to the educational performance indicators established.
- Case study method. Analysing cases enables students to deal with real cases and gain critical thinking skills as well as the experiences that enable them to predict various scenarios and anticipate environmental changes.
- Problem-based learning. The presentation of a specific problem enables students to develop their analytical and diagnostic capacity, critical judgment and innovation in order to find solutions. As students develop a more in-depth understanding of a problem in all its complexity, they gain insight into situations that they will face in their professional lives.
- Project development. The projects developed throughout the course enhance their interdisciplinary skills and teamwork.
- People and values. As knowledge comes from people and moves between them, values such as responsibility, commitment, trust, and integrity underpin our educational model.
