餐旅服務業是觀光事業之母,在跨入二十一世紀的同時,其所面臨的競爭更甚於以往,再加上加入WTO的雙效影響下,餐旅服務業所肩負的使命更不容小顱,共產業水準的全面提昇有賴更前衛的「專業分工」制度之建立,「人」又是專業分工的最基本單位與動力,故對於「人」的「專家教育」便成為新世紀教育改革的重點,其中「餐旅專業課程規劃」就是改革餐旅教育的第一步,如此方能配合新世紀觀光餐旅產業草握發展契機對專業人才殷殷企盼的需求。本研究發現:一、學制方面(一)學生來源:採「多元化」入學方式並依個人志趣選修課程,使學生能充分發揮個人潛能適性發展。(二)修業年限:擴大修業年限彈性,依個人學習狀況靈活運用「零存整付」及「隨進隨出」的進修方式。二、課程規劃方面(一)專業課程專精化:以餐旅專業課程為核心,開設兼具深度及廣度的多樣化課程。(二)強化語言課程以符合未來加入WTO後就業市場國際化及新世紀人才之需求。(三)加強電腦課程因應Internet無遠弗屆,餐旅服務業既是國際化產業,更應響應高科技發展的新趨勢。(四)進階課程的安排:以建構終身學習的回流教育。(五)成立課程委員會:可藉重教育夥伴(業者、職訓機構等)與專家學者的腦力激盪集思廣益,規劃出實用的課程,以發展各校特色。
