Direct linkParr, Damian M.; Trexler, Cary J. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2011
Student farms, developed largely out of student efforts, have served as centers for the development of experiential learning and sustainable agriculture and food systems educational activities on land-grant colleges of agriculture well before most formal sustainable agriculture and food systems programs were proposed. This study explored students'…

Graveel, John G.; Vorst, James J. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2007
As part of a systematic review of the undergraduate curricula and courses, the perceptions of Purdue agronomy alumni who graduated between 1960 and 2003 were obtained. A survey was administered to assess outcomes, identify gaps in the curriculum, measure how well the program addresses current and future needs, and provide a direction for change.…

Peer reviewedKarnok, Deith J.; And Others – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 1993
A survey of 32 land-grant institutions was conducted to determine structure, course requirements, needs, and future directions of 4-year turfgrass management programs in the United States. Results related to course selection, limiting factors to the program's success, and future challenges are reported. (MDH)

Schneider, Mindi; Colglazier, Ashley; Beutler, Rhoda; Pollard, Caleb; Francis, Charles – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2005
This study explores "integration", the gathering of multiple disciplines of study into a curricular whole, and "interdisciplinarity", the inclusion of multiple disciplines, in the agricultural college at a land-grant university. We also evaluate the importance that employers place on student abilities to integrate information…

Redmon, Larry A.; Clary, Greg M.; Cleere, Jason J.; Evers, Gerald W.; Haby, Vincent A.; Long, Charles R.; Nelson, Lloyd R.; Randel, Ron D.; Rouquette, Monte, Jr.; Smith, Gerald R.; Thrift, Todd L. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2004
Since 1994, urban-absentee landowners have dominated rural landownership in Texas. This landownership change has created potential environmental problems associated with natural resource management. Few of the new landowners have any formal training in the basics of the soil-plant-animal interface. The solution may be to develop a vehicle that…

Peer reviewedKarnok, Keith J.; And Others – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 1993
A survey of 32 land-grant institutions was conducted to determine format, topical content, and teaching methods of introductory turfgrass management courses of 4-year turfgrass management programs in the United States. Required courses included a basic soils class and a course in biology or botany, usually transmitted by the lecture method. (MDH)

Amador, Jose A.; Gorres, Josef H. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2004
At most land-grant universities in the USA, Introduction to Soil Science is traditionally taught using a combination of lecture and laboratory formats. To promote engagement, improve comprehension, and enhance retention of content by students, we developed a problem-based learning (PBL) introductory soil science course. Students work in groups to…
