The document discusses the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach to agriculture development. It provides definitions of FFS, describes its origins in Indonesia in the late 1980s to promote Integrated Pest Management. The first FFS was designed by FAO experts in Indonesia in 1989. The basic features of a typical rice IPM FFS are then outlined, including being field-based for a full season, weekly meetings, experiential and participatory learning methods, conducting comparison studies between IPM and non-IPM plots, and including a field day. The principles of FFS are to grow a healthy crop, conserve natural enemies, and help farmers understand agroecosystems and make informed decisions.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Definition
• The Farmer Field School (FFS) is a
group-based learning process that
has been used by a number of
governments, NGOs and international
agencies to promote Integrated Pest
Management (IPM).
4. Origin of LFFS
• In 2001, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), with the support of
the FAO and the Animal Health Programme (AHP) of the UK’s Department for
International Development (DFID), adapted the FFS methodology to livestock
production systems. This required the integration of animal health concerns and
crop/forage production activities
• within the FFS curriculum
5. Origin of FFS
• By the end of the 1980s, a new approach
to farmer training emerged in Indonesia
called the 'Farmer Field School' (FFS).
The broad problem which these field
schools were designed to address was a
lack of knowledge among Asian farmers
relating to agroecology, particularly the
relationship between insect pests and
beneficial insects
6. First FFS
• The first IPM Farmer Field Schools
were designed and managed in 1989
by experts working for the UN Food
and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)
in Indonesia. This was not, however,
the first attempt made by FAO to
extend IPM techniques to farmers in
South East Asia.
7. The basic features of a typical rice IPM
Farmer Field School are as follows
• The IPM Field School is field based and lasts for a full cropping
season.
• A FFS meets once a week with a total number of meetings that
might range from at least 10 up to 16 meetings.
• The primary learning material at a Farmers Field School is the
field.
• The Field School meeting place is close to the learning plots often
in a farmer’s home and sometimes beneath a convenient tree.
• FFS educational methods are experiential, participatory, and
learner centered.
• Each FFS meeting includes at least three activities: the agro-
ecosystem analysis, a “special topic”, and a group dynamics activity.
8. The basic features of a typical IPM Farmer
Field School are as follows
Contd
• In every FFS, participants conduct a study comparing IPM with non-IPM
treated plots.
• An FFS often includes several additional field studies depending on local
field problems.
• Between 25 and 30 farmers participate in a FFS. Participants learn
together in small groups of five to maximise participation.
• All FFSs include a Field Day in which farmers make presentations about
IPM and the results of their studies.
• A pre- and post-test is conducted as part of every Field School for
diagnostic purposes and for determining follow-up activities.
• The facilitators of FFS’s undergo intensive season-long residential training
to prepare them for organising and conducting Field Schools.
• Preparation meetings precede an FFS to determine needs, recruit
participants, and develop a learning contract.
• Final meetings of the FFS often include planning for follow-up activities
9. Farmer Field School Approach
Farmer Field School is a school without walls.
Farmers and extension workers are students. The
Farmers Field is the class room and the plant is the
teacher. As the plant grows the students gain
knowledge in the light of their observations. The get
together at a fixed time every week once and make
their own decisions based on observations and data
analysis for the health of the plants.

observations
