EVALUATION OF AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE ACTIVITIES OF HIGH SCHOOL IN COOPERATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

 In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey on a series of agricultural experience activities in cooperation with the area, and obtained knowledges about the curriculum by cooperation between the high school and the area by evaluating from the viewpoint of the students of the agricultural high school. As a result of the questionnaire survey on agricultural experience activities, it became clear that the evaluation of rice planting, rice harvesting, riceball selling and the exchange with the citizens was high. As a result of multivariate analysis, it was found that rice harvesting and tasting of new rice have a great influence on the overall evaluation. Moreover, by participating in the agricultural experience activities, the motivation for school learning increased, and the interest in agriculture, the park, and the environment was found to increase the awareness and the desire. Especially, it was found that tasting new rice, which can taste its own results, had a greater impact on the overall evaluation than rice harvesting.
