except in the relevant training 4) relevant trainings attended by the tourism instructors are
associated in their level of instructional management practices and 5) the problems encountered
by the tourism instructors are associated in their level of instructional management practices
and 5) the problems encountered by the tourism instructors in their instructional management
practices were found to be moderately serious.
On the basis of salient findings of the study and the conclusion drawn, the following
are hereby recommended 1) since majority of the respondents are young and have earned only
their MA units, they should take their own initiative to pursue their graduate and post-graduate
studies in a reputable institution to enhance their personal and professional growth 2) the
tourism instructors should aspire the excellent performance in their competence on instructional
management practices to better equip their students with skills and knowledge thus enabling
them to become productive graduates 3) the tourism instructors through the assistance of
their deans should take bold steps in resolving their instructional management to improve their
craft I instructional delivery. Tourism instructors are encouraged to attend relevant trainings to
updates and upgrade their competence in instructional management and further studies on the
level of competence of tourism instructors on their instructional management practices should
be undertaken to further strengthen the competence of instructors along this area and in a wider
parameter using other variables.
