教育関係共同利用拠点制度における大学農場の農業実習教育の展開と課題

抄録

This study was conducted in university farms and was authorized by the Inter-University Collabo­rative Education program for two purposes: first, to clarify the trend of agricultural training in univer­sity farms, and second, to identify the advantages and problems in collaborative education for both stakeholders: host and client universities. The results of the research revealed the following three points. First, the client departments were diversified in agri­cultural fields such as food science and nutri­tion, agriculture, and veterinary medicine. Second, the participation forms were classified into three types: order-made, ready-made, and free-ride. Many university farms largely preferred the order-made type. Third, although the clients’ evaluations were high, their continuous commitment to collabo­rative education may become difficult because of curriculum and financial limitations.
