Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the effectiveness of hands-on learning activities in enhancing agricultural science education. The study addresses the growing need for innovative teaching approaches in agricultural science education to better engage students and improve learning outcomes. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine existing research on hands-on learning activities and their impact on educational outcomes in the field of agriculture. The research methodology involved a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, to gather data on student perceptions and learning outcomes. The findings of the study indicate that hands-on learning activities play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural science education. Students reported increased engagement, motivation, and understanding of complex concepts when participating in hands-on activities such as field trips, experiments, and project-based learning. The study also found that hands-on learning activities promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and practical knowledge that are essential for success in the agricultural industry. The discussion of findings delves into the implications of incorporating hands-on learning activities into agricultural science education curricula. Practical recommendations are provided for educators and policymakers to integrate hands-on activities effectively into teaching practices and improve student learning experiences. The study underscores the importance of experiential learning in agricultural science education and highlights the potential benefits of hands-on activities for student engagement and academic achievement. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on innovative teaching approaches in agricultural science education. By assessing the effectiveness of hands-on learning activities, this study provides valuable insights into the impact of experiential learning on student engagement and learning outcomes in the field of agriculture. The findings of this study have significant implications for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to enhance agricultural science education through hands-on learning approaches.
