Effective teaching and learning requires a teacher to teach the students with instructional

materials and to use practical activities to make learning more vivid, logical, realistic and

pragmatic.

This study determined the effectiveness of using simulation in teaching courses like Front Office

Procedures, Food and Beverage Service Procedures, International Housekeeping Procedure and

Banquet Function, and Catering Management. It utilized the experimental method. Percentage,

Mean, and t-test for dependent and independent groups were used in the analysis of results.

Majority of the students in experimental group perceived that the lesson is easier to understand

when the teacher utilizes simulation in the classroom. It also encourages participation in discussion

and interactions among learners. They obtained a final academic grade of Very Satisfactory (VS)

and obtained higher scores in the formative assessments compared to those in the controlled group.

The performance of the two groups significantly differs as students in the experimental group

developed positive attitude and interest in the different HRM courses.

August 2014

Food safety and sanitation is a practice of keeping foods from contamination, storing perishable food at the appropriate temperature, and heating food to a temperature that will inhibit bacterial growth. It is the responsibility of the food handlers to fully understand the dangers involved in serving food. It has been shown that 90 to 95 percent of food-borne illnesses caused by people preparing ... [Show full abstract] and handling food. Poor standards of personal hygiene can lead to food being contaminated. This study assessed the food handling practices of selected food establishment workers and ambulant food vendors operating within the vicinity of Columban College, Inc, and its implications to the health safety of students. The descriptive-survey of research was used with 78 workers from 22 food establishments and 14 ambulant food vendors as respondents. Data were gathered through interviews, observation, and survey-checklist. Percentage, Mean, Weighted Mean, and Analysis of Variance were used in the statistical analysis. The hygiene and food sanitation knowledge and practices of food-handlers were generally unsatisfactory. Inspections should ensure awareness among patrons and food handlers about food sanitation and safety in food establishments. Implementation of new public health laws to include food handling approved by the legislative council in the local government unit is a priority. Upgrading the quality control system, including legislation reform, developing explicit guidelines, improving inspection and laboratory testing, and taking appropriate punitive or corrective measures should be a priority. Training in food hygiene that embodies the concept of risk should be implemented in restaurants in order to emphasize food handlers the level of risk associated with their business.
