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.

Download or read book Learning Through Community Engagement written by Judyth Sachs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the development of a whole-institution approach to university-community engagement at a modern Australian university, highlighting the pivotal role that curriculum renewal can play in organizational transformation. It describes how Macquarie University’s PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) program developed and fostered a culture of learning that has been at the center of academic renewal, differentiation, and institutional change. It details the development of the PACE pedagogical model, the establishment of the network of stakeholder relationships which underpin it, and the embedding of the model across the whole institution. Authored by those directly involved in the change project, this book tells the story of PACE, its achievements, challenges, success factors and future directions. A series of dovetailing contributions by leading international scholars of university-community engagement set the PACE story in its global context. This book adds to the scholarship of learning through community engagement, provides international perspectives on trends and issues in university-community engagement, contributes to a broader understanding of the practice and pedagogy of community engagement, and discusses the challenges and opportunities of implementing and sustaining change in the higher education sector.
Download or read book Civic Learning through Agricultural Improvement written by Glenn P. Lauzon and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people use education to respond to change? How do people learn what is expected of “good citizens” in their communities? These questions have long concerned educational historians, civic educators, and social scientists. In recent years, they have captured national attention through high-profile education reform proposals and civic initiatives. The historian who reviews the relevant literature, however, will discover something odd: most of it focuses on schooling, despite the fact that, prior to the middle of the twentieth century, formal schooling played only a small (but significant) part in most people’s lives. What other educational forces and institutions bring civic ideals to bear upon minds and hearts? This question is rarely raised. At issue is a conceptual problem: we, today, tend to equate “education” with “schooling.” Do county fairs and farmers’ associations have anything to do with civic education? Drawing insights from debates at the time of the “founding” of the history of education as a branch of modern scholarship, this author asserts that they do. Using the life of county fairs, farmers’ associations, and farmers’ institutes as its central thread, this book explores how prominent town-dwellers and leading farmers tried to use agricultural improvement to grow towns and to shape civic sensibilities in the rural Midwest. Promoting economic development was the foremost concern, but the efforts taught farmers much about their “place” as “good citizens” of industrializing communities. As such, this study yields insights into how rural people of the nineteenth century came to accept the ideal that “town” and “country” were interdependent parts of the same community. In doing so, it reminds educators and historians that much education and learning – particularly of the civic sort – takes place beyond the schoolhouse.

Download or read book Agricultural Biosystems and Biological Engineering Education written by Umezuruike Linus Opara and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural engineering, developed as an engineering discipline underpinned by physics, applies scientific principles, knowledge, and technological innovations in the agricultural and food industries. During the last century, there was exponential growth in engineering developments, which has improved human wellbeing and radically changed how humans interact with each other and our planet. Among these, “Agricultural Mechanization” is ranked among the top 10 in a list of 20 Top Engineering Achievements of the last century that have had the greatest impact on the quality of life. While many success stories abound, the problems of low appeal among students, identity crises, and limited job opportunities in many climes continue to trouble the discipline’s future in many parts of the world. Yet agriculture and agricultural engineering remain fundamental to assuring food and nutrition security for a growing global population. Agricultural, Biosystems, and Biological Engineering Education provides the first comprehensive global review and synthesis of different agricultural, biosystems, and biological engineering education approaches, including a detailed exposition of current practices from different regions. Key Features: Describes novel approaches to curriculum design and reform Outlines current and emerging epistemology and pedagogies in ABBE education Provides a framework to grow agricultural engineering in Africa and other developing regions Highlights the role of ABBE education in the context of the SDGs Presented in 3 parts and containing 42 chapters, this book covers the historical evolution of agricultural engineering education and discusses the emergence of biological and biosystems engineering education. It will appeal to engineers and other professionals, education planners and administrators, and policy makers in agriculture and other biological industries.
