Book excerpt: Agricultural education and training institution engage more directly with the outside world than most educational programmes. Students visit research stations and farms, and specialists are brought in to give lectures on their subjects of expertise. Internships, attachments, placements and study visits all form part of the curriculum. From time to time, when new courses are developed or old courses are revised, experts - both in agricultural and associated subjects and (perhaps more rarely) in education and training - are consulted on the new curriculum. Because of their involvement with these courses, such outsiders become stakeholders in the agricultural education and training programmes. Other stakeholders include teachers, students and their parents, funders, government agencies, employers, farmers unions, industry, profesional bodies and users of agricultural services. This training guide seeks to help those engaged in agricultural education and training to identify the stakeholders for their own programmes. It explores the reasons and methods for involving these stakeholders in the development of curricula at three different levels: determining the aims and goals of the programme and courses; setting the learning objectives (in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes, the so-called KSA approach to curriculum development); and designing the learning activities by which these objectives are to be achieved. The guide also outlines the implications of involving outsiders in curriculum development processes. This publication is intended for all those who work in agricultural education and training, whether as teachers, administrators or researchers in educational institutions or as planners and administrators in ministry of agriculture training divisions. It is an essential tool for anyone engaged in the development of more effective agricultural education and training programmes.

Download or read book The Continuing Education and Training of Agricultural Extension Staff in Namibia with Special Reference to Distance Learning written by Alan Rogers and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the need for inservice education and training among the staff of the Namibian extension service revealed that the service has approximately 100 field staff who have very different and often patchy preservice training but who have acquired considerable experience. Workshops with extension staff members were then held to identify their training needs. On the basis of information gained from observation of supervisory training activities and a training needs assessment questionnaire, a modular comprehensive inservice program was recommended as the most appropriate form of inservice training for the extension staff. The program, which used extensive approaches and methods, included a course on people and organizations in society, and seven agricultural specialist subjects. A program structure based on on-the-job training and distance learning methods was recommended, and a training development plan was drafted. (Appendixes constituting about half of this document provide information on the current training of existing field-level staff and their training needs, a project itinerary, a consolidated job description, the proposed inservice program, a preliminary list of resource centers, pros and cons of on- versus off-the-job training and distance education, module outlines, and a workshop report. Contains 37 references.) (MN)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rome Declaration on World Food Security, endorsed by the world Food Summit in 1996, states that food production and rural development, particularly in those countries with significant food security inadequacies, require appropriate and up-to-date technologies which, according to sustainable development criteria and local food traditions, promote modernization of local production methods and facilitate transfer of technology. Full benefit from these technologies will require training, education and skill development programmes for local human resources. Training for agriculture and rural development provides information about successful and innovative practices, methodologies and strategies involving education and training, extension and communication in both developed and developing countries. The articles in the 1997-98 issue address a wide range of human resource issues and strategies and lessons learned from applying agricultural training, education, extension and communication to the development of human resources to achieve food security.

Download or read book Agricultural Education for Development in the Arab Countries written by Samy, Mohamed M. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural development is an important economic engine for development in the Arab countries in North Africa and the Middle East. An essential factor to accelerate agricultural development in these countries is a well-educated and trained agricultural workforce. However, the areas of secondary school, community college, and university agricultural education have lacked attention and resources for many years. Curriculum development, instructional enhancement, practical training, and career advancement are central to agricultural education development, technology utilization, and natural resource management. The engagement of educators, administrators, business and community leaders, and policymakers ensures that the graduates of all levels of agricultural education are well prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Agricultural Education for Development in the Arab Countries provides essential knowledge to enhance all elements of agricultural secondary, post-secondary, and university education programs to effectively prepare students for successful careers in global agriculture, multi-national food supply chains, and natural resource management. Covering topics such as higher education, workforce skills, and agribusiness, this reference work is ideal for agriculturists, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
