Abstract

The Pedagogical Institute of Athens with the support of the Leonardo Da Vinci Program of the European Union has developed an experimental common curriculum (ECCA) in agriculture for use in agriculture training secondary schools. In a further stage, in partnership with Scottish Council for Education Technology, National University of Ireland, Maynooth and TECHNO-Z-F&E GmbH, has developed a methodology for delivering parts of the ECCA in an innovative and integrated way for in- service training of trainers. Although there is not substitute for the immediacy and effectiveness of face to face teaching and learning , on-line teaching and learning has become very popular in recent years. It involves new interactive technologies, particularly the Internet, to facilitate asynchronous learning environments. The Pioneer, developed by one of the partners, was used as a communication and learning environment. Given the different nature of agriculture training and development in the four countries of the project, the ECCA and the methodology could be applicable to other countries as well.
