Do Teaching Models Affect Students' Academic Performance

The study's objective was to evaluate how the ADDIER and ASSURER models affected the academic performance of students. A test was used to collect data from Sunyani Technical University's final-year hospitality students in Ghana as part of the study's experimental research design. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 20 was used to manage and process the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study unveiled that the ADDIER and ASSURER models have impact on students’ academic performance.  Comparatively, it can be seen from the values of the effect size statistics that the ASSURER Model has a stronger impact on students' academic performance than the ADDIER Model. The study is important as it has provided empirical evidence on how reflection processes affect students' academic performance and expand literature on hospitality education. The researcher recommends that the study be repeated with a large sample size in other tertiary institutions to confirm the external validity of the theoretical expansions.
