Agricultural Education: The Scope of the Field in an Adult Vocational Setting
This paper discusses the current nature of agricultural education in the context of a vocational adult setting. It does this by examining the three primary avenues of education that are normally engaged in to provide students with a theoretical knowledge of current trends and practices while still granting them the opportunity to put those theories into practice by engaging in hands-on learning experiences. Additionally extra-curricular organizations are discussed and the role they play in the educational process, allowing students the chance to network with industry professionals and maintain a current knowledge of developing innovations.
