RE: Agricultural Education Curricular Changes

This document is to request final TEC approval for the redesigned Agricultural Education

curriculum. When approved, the proposed changes will take effect with entering freshmen fall

2019. Current students will remain under the current curriculum; however, they will take the

new/revised courses as introduced. Substitution requests will be submitted as appropriate and

needed.

Page 2 outlines the rationale and process followed by an overview of changes.

The table on Page 3 outlines the proposed field experiences.

The table on Page 4 shows the cross-walk of courses and pedagogical content and pedagogical

standards addressed in the courses.

Pages 5-7 is the Agricultural Education major plan of study with changes highlighted in yellow.

Pages 8-9 are the College of Agriculture cover page voted on at its faculty meeting March 21,

2019.

Rationale:

The Purdue Agricultural Education undergraduate major leads to a BS in Agriculture degree and

qualification for an initial practitioner Indiana teacher license in CTE: Agriculture Grades 5-12.

In 2018, the Agricultural Education teacher education program received Indiana state-level Non-

SPA accreditation without conditions. This recognition provides an opportunity to make needed

programmatic changes.

Process:

Student, faculty, and stakeholder input helped guide the process. Sources of input included:

Annual exit surveys collected and summarized by Purdue Teacher Education. These

include: Teacher Candidates Exit Survey; Cooperating Teacher Survey; scores and pass

rates for required assessments; content grades means, ranges, frequencies; Taskstream

reports; Dispositions report.

“If I Knew Then What I Know Now” stakeholder input session held at Indiana

Agriculture Teachers Summer Workshop in June 2016.

“Winter Workshop Feedback Session” held at Indiana Agriculture Teachers Winter

Workshop in January 2017.

Ad Hoc YDAE Committee for Agricultural Education Curriculum Review, which met in

2017 and 2018.

Agricultural Education Program Area faculty/staff reviewed all input, developed

proposals, and met with individuals in content departments.

The ASEC faculty approved the following changes.

Agriculture Courses: Required and Selectives

o Change from ANSC 10200 required to ANSC 10200 or ANSC 10600 required

o Replace HORT 20100 required with HORT/ASEC 21200 required

o Change from FS 16100 required to FS 16100 or NUTR 20500 required

o Change from 12 credits Agriculture Selectives required to 9 credits Agriculture

Selectives required

Agricultural Education Courses

o Delete YDAE 44100 (1 credit). Field experience folded into remaining courses.

o Change ASEC 31800 from 3 credits to 2 credits. Concentrates on SAE, FFA, and

agricultural experience/SAE management and tracking. Duplication of content

taught in other required courses removed.

o Change ASEC 31900 from 3 credits to 2 credits. Concentrates on School-Based

Agricultural Education program planning and management. Duplication of

content taught in other required courses removed.

o Add ASEC 34000 Laboratory Practices in Agricultural Education (2 credits)

o Add ASEC 34100 Curriculum Development in Agricultural Education (2 credits)

o Add ASEC 44200 Curriculum Implementation in Agricultural Education (2

credits).

YDAE/ASEC 24000 Seminar in Agricultural Education

o Change from 1 credit Elective to 1 credit ASEC 24000 required.

Department of Agricultural Sciences Education and Communication

Proposed Course and Curricular Changes (College of Agriculture Undergraduate/Graduate)

A. COURSES TO BE DELETED

YDAE 44100 Field Experience in Agricultural Education Programs (1

credit)

Justification/Rationale: The Agricultural Education program is being revised with

early field experiences included in all required courses. This makes YDAE 44100

redundant, therefore no longer needed.

B. COURSES TO BE ADDED

Prefix and Course Number: ASEC 34000

Title: Laboratory Practices in Agricultural Education

Course Description for University Catalog (include requisites/restrictions):

Credit hours: 2.00. This course is designed to introduce pre-service agricultural education

teachers to laboratory integration into the agricultural education curriculum at the middle

school and secondary school level. Emphasis is placed on laboratory safety, skill

acquisition, developing knowledge of laboratory components in agriscience, laboratory

utilization, facilitating student learning in the laboratory setting, appropriate teaching

methods and techniques, curriculum applications, and classroom resources. Travel to on

and off-campus sites will be required. Fall.

Prefix and Course Number: ASEC 34100

Title: Curriculum Development in Agricultural Education

Course Description for University Catalog (include requisites/restrictions):

Credit hours: 2.00. This course is designed to expose students to appropriate teaching

techniques, curricula and resources within agricultural education. Procedures for

designing, implementing, and evaluating curriculum will be examined. Emphasis will be

placed on new and emerging areas in agriculture, food, and natural resources. Spring.

Prefix and Course Number: ASEC 44200

Title: Curriculum Implementation in Agricultural Education

Course Description for University Catalog (include requisites/restrictions):

Credit hours 2.00. Students develop skills necessary to implement standards-based

curriculum in Agricultural Education through hands-on application. Course is designed

for students who have an understanding of curriculum development and teaching

methodology. Pre- or co-requisites: ASEC 34100 and ASEC 44000. Spring.

9

C. COURSES TO BE CHANGED

Change ASEC 31800 Coordination of Supervised Agricultural Education Programs from

3 credits (3 hours lecture) to 2 credits (2 hours lecture).

Justification/Rationale: A curriculum review showed redundancies with

ASEC 31900. Redundant content was deleted from ASEC 31800.

Change ASEC 31900 Planning Agricultural Science and Business Programs from 3

credits (3 hours lecture) to 2 credits (2 hours lecture).

Justification/Rationale: A curriculum review showed gaps in the curriculum

that required new courses. Content that related to proposed new courses was

moved from ASEC 31900 to the new courses.

D. CURRICULAR CHANGES

Justification/Rationale: From 2016 to 2018 a comprehensive curriculum

review was conducted including student and stakeholder input. The review showed

gaps in agricultural content areas and pedagogical standards in Agricultural

Education.

Credit hours deleted (12) equals credit hours added (12).
