Pedagogical Innovations through Web 2.0: Assessing Wiki and Blog Integration in Tourism Higher Education
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examined the pedagogical impact of integrating Web 2.0 tools—wikis and blogs—on student engagement and learning outcomes among tourism students at National University–Laguna. Using quantitative correlational design and multiple linear regression, data was collected from 350 students through a validated 20-item survey (α = 0.866). Descriptive results indicated very high levels of wiki and blog integration, engagement, and learning outcomes. Bayesian correlation analysis showed no significant relationships among the variables due to a ceiling effect. However, regression analysis revealed that blog integration significantly predicted student engagement (β = 0.388, p < 0.001), while wiki integration did not. The findings suggest that reflective digital tools such as blogs enhance student participation and learning more effectively than collaborative documentation platforms. The study underscores the need for pedagogically informed technology integration that emphasizes reflective, interactive, and experiential learning in tourism education.
