Abstract

Organic Agriculture is a significant research topic of Sustainable Agriculture and a key factor in ensuring the conservation of the natural environment and preservation of life. Numerous studies on Didactics have demonstrated the effectiveness of student centered methods and strategies to improve results in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). This position paper explored how to improve the professional education of skilled workers and technicians in order to solve their diversity of professional problems with the aid of a Project Based Learning (PBL) approach. The proposed solution was implemented in a suburban Technical and Vocational School (TVS) with the Second Year Agronomy students and it is a solution based on the Cuban educational context. This paper provided some key issues regarding PBL pedagogy and an example of Organic Agriculture Project which would help Agricultural Science teachers as a guide in the process of planning new projects.

Keywords: organic agriculture, project based learning, sustainable agriculture
