Development of an Integrative Framework for Agricultural Literacy in the K-12 Curriculum

Abstract

One of the key objectives of the country in the battle against hunger should be the development of students' competence and abilities, which should include agricultural literacy. The study's main goal was to create an integrated framework that took into account the sustainability and seasonality challenges that come with distributing and integrating agricultural literacy into K–12 curricula, as well as the identified underlying concerns and problems. Key informants identified 3 collaborating schools along Pili. These include Felix E. Villamer High School (SJPNHS-Annex) in Del Rosario, Pili National High School in Pawili, Pili, Rodriguez National High School in Cadlan, and Pili National High School in Pawili. Results showed that agricultural literacy integration was necessary, especially in schools offering Horticulture Strand. The needs to further strengthen students’ involvement in agriculture through creating innovative and interactive interventions was also put into account.
