Abstract
The article presents the results of a comprehensive study on the impact of big data technologies on the fundamentalization processes of professional education in hospitality as a foundation for developing competitive specialists in the digital economy. The empirical basis consisted of a pedagogical experiment (2022–2024) involving 920 respondents, including 640 students in “Hotel Management” and “Tourism” programs and 280 practicing hospitality industry specialists.The methodology was based on the use of big data analytics platforms (89 % accuracy in predicting professional competencies) and intelligent educational trajectory analysis systems (adaptivity coefficient K = 24) for learning personalization. Statistical analysis revealed significant increases inthe experimental group: fundamental knowledge level by 31 %(t = 12.67, p < 0.001), proportion of students with high professional readiness from 18 %to 52 %(χ2 = 56.34, p < 0.001), digital literacy index from 2.4 to 4.1 points (t = 14.23, p < 0.001). Mathematical models were constructed for professional competency dynamics (logistic, R2 = 0.88) and digital skills (power, R2 = 0.84). Key predictors of big data effectiveness in education were identified: intensity of analytical systems usage (β = 0.43–0.47), depth of educational content personalization (β = 0.35–0.39), volume of processed learning activity data (β = 0.28–0.32), collectively explaining up to 67 %of variance in competency development. Specificity by training programs was revealed: “Hotel Management” students showed greater growth in managerial competencies (t = 3.84, p < 0.01), while “Tourism” students demonstrated stronger analytical skills (t = 4.17, p < 0.001) and creative abilities (t = 3.92, p < 0.01). Cluster analysis identified four typological groups of students: “Digital Leaders” (23 %), “Adapters” (34 %), “Traditionalists” (28 %), and “Laggards” (15 %) with 94 %discrimination probability. The results contribute to professional education theory development and can serve as a basis for developing hospitality industry specialist training standards in the big data era.
