LAC 28:LXV.309. Technology, Materials, and Equipment

A. AgEd/FFA programs demand modern equipment, facilities, materials, and other technology that simulate the current environment in the workplace. The program must emphasize knowledge construction to solve problems via the problem-solving method traditionally used in AgEd/FFA, a method that has become popular in many other fields during the past few years. The problems used in this method must be realistic in nature and must require learners to determine the method of solving the problem as well as the actual application of the final solution. The instructional process must incorporate hands-on teaching, an approach that requires equipment, technology and materials similar to those used in the real-work world. Consumable supplies must be provided on a reliable, consistent basis.
