[Agriculture and Horticulture ] Information about Australian Curriculum: Technologies

[Don Hudson]

Dear Lorraine

 

You may or may not recall that 2 years ago or so we met regarding the role
of Ag/Hort and DCT in secondary education as interdisciplinary learning.

 

As a vocational horticulture teacher, at that time my own thinking was
rather stultified; however, it is in fact this interdisciplinary nature of
Ag/Hort studies which I am currently exploring in research for my Masters.
To this end, I hope that you are able to assist by directing me to research
or other papers which support the contention that learning in Ag/Hort
studies facilitates learning in other domains. I am currently writing a
proposal to undertake research at The Travancore School.

 

Many thanks in anticipation.

 

Kind regards

Don Hudson
