INTEGRATING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) IN TEACHING PRINCIPLES OF FOOD SAFETY, HYGIENE AND SANITATION: AN E~LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract: The samples were four sections of first year college students of Far Eastern University (FEU-Manila) enrolled in Principles of Food Safety, Hygiene and Sanitation (PRNSHS) taking up BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BS HRM). The two sections were classified as ICT (Information and Communication Technology) group, while the other two is Traditional lecture-discussion (TLD) group. There were twenty three (23) matchedpairs formed in each section. First, the ICT group had time to familiarize with e-learning and was administered a pretest on achievement and attitude. These two groups were given the posttest on achievement and attitude towards Principles of Food Safety, Hygiene and Sanitation. The t-test for independent samples was used to determine the difference between the pretest, posttest, and gain scores of the ICT group and TLD groups as well as their attitude towards Principles of Food Safety, Hygiene and Sanitation before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the use of e-Learning approach as a cognitive tool, produced a significant difference in academic gain and attitude scale for the students under the ICT group of the HRM students. It is important to choose appropriate teaching-learning approach so that concepts and elaboration related to the subject matter enhance the students’ achievement and performance in their learning. Also, it is clear that the major advantage of e-Learning approach is that the ICT group was more actively involved in the learning process. The different ICT materials the students were guided by the Rubrics scale, instructional goals and objectives that met the needs of students learning. The nature of students’ learning must drive the type of performance used to assess students’ knowledge.
