摘要

The agricultural sector remains the dominant component of East Timor's economy and its importance demands a range of educational services in agriculture at primary, secondary, tertiary and adult levels to build capacity in the sector. University undergraduate teaching in agriculture is based on the previous Indonesian curriculum which is fragmented and content orientated and uses an educational approach in which little attempt is made to relate theory to the problems encountered in local farming systems. This abstract approach to the presentation of information leads to rote learning rather than encouraging a deep learning experience that develops in students' capacities to identify and solve problems. The Faculty of Agriculture of the National University of Timor LoroSae aspires to teach a modern agriculture curriculum based on the sciences and technologies, and which is designed to service a developed industry. However, graduates from the faculty will be dealing with traditional agriculture where farmers depend on their own experience and that of their forbears as a basis for their decision making. The degree courses should produce graduates who have the capacity to understand the traditional animal and crop production systems and who will also be able to conduct scientific research and apply research to improve the performance of local agricultural systems. Comparative studies of relevant traditional and local farming systems which include case studies of successful and unsuccessful interventions intended to improve the productivity of traditional systems is one means of developing graduates who understand how to apply science and technology in their work with farmers to improve production and system sustainability. This approach would foster deep learning experiences that would bring to the students more holistic views of the discipline which, in turn, would change the way in which the learner visualises the farming systems. Internal and external factors that impact on the quality of teaching and learning are considered. The importance of research activity and its nexus with quality learning is discussed. To sustain research at the university there is a need for a cooperative research model to be developed between the university and other agencies so that significant agricultural problems are identified, and to achieve efficient use of scarce resources. University of Timor LoroSae staff have made considerable headway in identifying the strengths and limitations of their present curricula, and in setting graduate attributes for their students. Further development of these issues is anticipated in 2004.
