الملخص

The study investigates teaching evaluation in a Tourism and Hospitality Management Program, focusing on integrating sustainable development pedagogy aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using qualitative faculty surveys and guided by the Danielson Framework for Teaching, it examines current practices, faculty perceptions, and sustainability integration. Findings reveal evaluations are viewed positively for professional growth but highlight the need to embed sustainability more effectively. Four key areas emerged: identifying strengths and weaknesses, promoting constructive feedback, encouraging diverse teaching strategies, and fostering reflective practices post-evaluation. The study emphasizes that combining a well-structured evaluation framework with sustainability-focused professional development can enhance teaching quality and promote responsible education. Its unique application of the Danielson Framework stresses sustainability’s role in tourism education and innovative post-evaluation reflection for continuous improvement aligned with SDGs.
