- W263547167 abstract "The Benefits of Experiential Learning in Agricultural Education Students enrolled in today's agriculture classes walk into the classroom with increasingly diverse agricultural backgrounds. Some students are raised in hog barns, sitting on combines, or walking chicken barns, and rival their teachers' knowledge about production agriculture. However, more and more students are removed from farm life, and enter the classroom with experiences only on the fork-end of agriculture. This variety in student background and experiences causes knowledge gaps that agricultural educators must address in the planning of lessons. Teaching through experiential learning activities can provide the personal, handson agricultural experiences that address the needs of students regardless of their base agriculture knowledge; novice agriculture students can gain concrete experiences to which they can apply classroom concepts, while those with more experience can develop a deeper understanding for the processes and reasons behind those processes in agriculture. Agricultural facilities, including mechanics laboratories, greenhouses, livestock facilities, land laboratories, and aquaculture laboratories, among others, are considered an integral component of agricultural education. These facilities allow teachers to provide students practical applications of theories taught in the classroom (McCormick, 1994; Phipps, Osborne, Dyer, & Ball, 2008). While these facilities are often utilized for improving student motor skills, they can be a site of many more goals, as is noted in Figure 1. The goals in this table are not exclusive, and teachers can plan for students to reach several goals in different areas during each experiential activity in an agricultural facility. Enabling students to meet these goals, however, requires careful teacher planning and facilitation. Considerations When Planning Student Involvement - When planning for the above goals, teachers must carefully consider the level of student involvement possible in the agricultural facility. Seasoned teachers understand how goals for student learning may go unattained if the students are not on task. Activities in agricultural facilities require careful planning to ensure all students are engaged in the experience. Cooperative Learning - In many facilities, students must work together, similar to many work environments, which can make teachers uneasy - a student rarely gets into trouble on his or her own. When true collective learning occurs during an experience, students actually feel socially responsible for their actions, and mediate their own and the actions of others to support the group, leading to fewer students off-task. Cognitive Engagement - While these students are participating, the level of cognitive engagement should be enhanced to meet goals related to higher conceptual skills. Cognitive engagement refers to the level of mental effort, active attention, and interaction with the material students are willing to exert (Fredricks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004). For example, when a teacher directs a student to water the greenhouse, the cognitive engagement of the student is minimal. If the same student is directed to determine a watering schedule for the different types of plants that would save water, the same procedural skills are accomplished while enhancing student cognitive engagement. Lessons and activities in agricultural facilities that require higher order thinking skills also typically allow students to experiment. Student Inquiry - While, again, more planning is required to facilitate inquiry-driven activities in agricultural facilities, the goals met by students are more numerous and valuable. As students follow a line of inquiry or experimentation, the knowledge they develop in an agricultural facility should relate directly to concepts learned in the classroom. After all, the purpose of the facility is to provide students with a place to apply classroom concepts. …" @default.
