It is very important to evaluate the teaching skills of academic staff teaching in higher education institutions and to eliminate the emerging shortcomings. In this context, the teaching skills of the academics working in the field of Tourism Education have been tried to be assessed. 17 academics and 33 undergraduate students who studied at the University of Fiskesir Tourism have been asked 15 open end questions taken from the Ministry of Education’s Teacher Qualifications study. The survey form for questions was created and the face-to-face interview technique was used. Although the answers of academics and students to questions about teaching skills are generally positive (80% of academics and 67% of students), it is possible to say that academics have a lack of self-evaluation, material preparation, considering individual differences, organizing out-of-the-class events, and using factual measurement techniques.
