To achieve this goal, it was necessary to analyse the laws, national rules, National Development Plan (PDI) of Ifes and publications that allow inclusion and accessibility of the school, as well as create its own avaliative instrument of this type of accessibility. It was used in this research case study with qualitative approach, observing the context and methods used to develop this proposal. We can evidence that the school inclusion in agricultural education, regard to student with low vision, is a big challenge due to the peculiarities of the technical course in farming and the existing physical structure, which remains unchanged since the Campus creation, in 1941. Since the application of physical accessibility Protocol was possible the physical assess of Santa Teresa?s Campus, which does not correspond to the required standards, and establish a dialogue between the real and the ideal, identifying the legislation application, rules and publications in the visual disability area as well as the institutional reality / Este trabalho buscou avaliar a acessibilidade f?sica: urbana, arquitet?nica e de produtos, no Instituto Federal de Ci?ncia e Tecnologia do Esp?rito Santo (Ifes) - C?mpus Santa Teresa, no tocante ao aluno com defici?ncia visual. Para alcan?ar este objetivo, fez-se necess?rio analisar as legisla??es, normas nacionais, Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) do Ifes e publica??es que permeiam a acessibilidade e inclus?o escolar, assim como criar um instrumento pr?prio de avalia??o deste tipo de acessibilidade. Utilizou-se nesta pesquisa o estudo de caso com enfoque qualitativo, tendo em vista a contextualiza??o e m?todos utilizados para desenvolver esta proposta. Pode-se evidenciar que a inclus?o escolar no ensino agr?cola, no tocante ao estudante com defici?ncia visual, ? um grande desafio devido ?s especificidades do curso t?cnico em agropecu?ria e a estrutura f?sica existente, que permanece inalterada desde a cria??o do C?mpus, em 1941. A partir da aplica??o do protocolo de acessibilidade f?sica foi poss?vel avaliar a acessibilidade f?sica do C?mpus Santa Teresa, que n?o atende aos padr?es exigidos, e estabelecer um di?logo entre o real e o ideal, identificando a aplica??o da legisla??o, normas e publica??es na ?rea da defici?ncia visual e a realidade institucional, levantando dados para novas propostas de a??es inclusivas e de orienta??o ? gest?o educacional.

Esta instituição foi inaugurada oficialmente em 1901 pela Secretaria da Agricultura para funcionar como curso secundário em agronomia prática. O estudo atentou-se para dois períodos, a primeira parte (1881-1901) será correspondente a investigação dos projetos políticos e pedagógicos da fase preliminar de construção dessa instituição. A segunda parte será o período entre 1901 a 1904, onde estes projetos se tornaram práticas reais com a inauguração da escola e quando ocorreu a formatura da primeira turma de agrônomos práticos da História do Estado de São Paulo. No entanto, algo parecia dar errado, a escola foi ameaçada de ser fechada, fenômeno que se concretizou na maior parte das escolas agrícola do Brasil na Primeira República. / Abstract: This research focuses the history of the current College of Agriculture "Luiz de Queiroz which is located in the city of Piracicaba-SP, and since 1934 part of the University of São Paulo. This institution was officially inaugurated in 1901 by Secretary of Agriculture to act as a high school in agronomy practice. The study attempted to two periods, the first part (1881-1901) will correspond to research projects and educational policy of the preliminary phase of construction of that institution. The second part will be the period where these projects have become real practices with the opening of school in 1901 until 1903 when there was the graduation of the first class of practical agronomic history of the State of São Paulo. However, something seemed to go wrong, the school was threatened to be closed, a phenomenon which has resulted in most of Brazil's agricultural schools in the First Republic. / Mestrado / Filosofia e História da Educação / Mestre em Educação

It analyzes a specific educational institution: the Agricultural Patronate Visconde da Graça. The investigation was developed by means of a socio-historical approach, using documental analysis whose main sources were the institutional annual reports and students‟ registration forms, the local newspaper Diário Popular, the Pelotas Almanac, the Correio do Povo Almanac (of Porto Alegre city, the capital of the state), as well as Brazilian laws and decrees, all referring to the Patronates. This research aims to analyze the genesis, the educational practices and the profile of the Patronate students. The theoretical foundations took into consideration some discourses about agricultural modernization, professional teaching and medicalhygienist policies. The study emphasized the education offered to the poorer population in Brazil. The research findings led us to conclude that the Pelotas Patronate was an institution which gathered students from all the south region of Rio Grande do Sul. It applied severe educational practices which focused on learning for the professional, agricultural and civic work. Thus, many students evaded either in order to make a living for themselves and their families or because they could not adapt to the disciplinary rules. Therefore, it provided precariously the professional education background, although it has been and is still an institution which guarantees boarding school for a wide range of the population in the south region of Rio Grande do Sul / Esta pesquisa, desenvolvida junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, na linha de Filosofia e História da Educação, tem como enfoque principal a educação em Pelotas-RS no início do século XX, analisando, especificamente, uma instituição escolar: o Patronato Agrícola Visconde da Graça. A investigação foi realizada por meio de uma abordagem sócio-histórica, utilizando a análise documental, cujas principais fontes foram os Relatórios Anuais e Fichas dos Alunos da Instituição, o jornal pelotense Diário Popular, o Almanaque de Pelotas, o Almanaque Correio do Povo (da cidade de Porto Alegre/RS) e as Leis e Decretos do Brasil referentes aos Patronatos. Dessa forma, visa analisar a gênese, as práticas educativas e o perfil dos alunos do Patronato. O embasamento teórico levou em consideração alguns discursos sobre modernização agrícola, ensino profissional e políticas médico-higienistas, e enfatizou a educação que era destinada à população mais pobre no Brasil. Os elementos de pesquisa levaram a concluir que o Patronato de Pelotas foi uma instituição que aglutinou alunos de toda a região sul do Rio Grande do Sul. Administrou práticas educativas rígidas, voltadas ao aprendizado para o trabalho profissional agrícola e cívico. Dessa forma, muitos alunos evadiam, ou para ajudar no sustento familiar ou porque não conseguiam se adaptar às normas disciplinares. Assim, atendeu de forma precária à formação de educação profissional, mas foi e continua sendo uma Instituição que garante o estudo em regime de internato de uma ampla gama da população desta região

The United States has shifted from a once agrarian, to a predominantly urban society (Riedel, 2006). Currently, less than 2% of the U.S. population live on farms. Coupled with urbanization, this has contributed to the decline of an agriculturally literate population (EPA, 2013; Kovar & Ball, 2013). One strategy to alter the public’s perception of agriculture and increase agricultural literacy is implementing an educational environment that promotes agricultural activities via experience (Blair, 2009). Experiential learning has been championed by prominent educational theorists John Dewey and David Kolb. Experiential learning is conceptualized as a process where relevant experiences are the foundation of learning and which allow for deeper connections between the learner and the subject. This study was a mixed methods design conducted at three private schools in Northeast Mississippi during the Spring of 2015. Tenth grade biology students were taught six (6) lessons contextualized in agriculture, with one group serving as a control group (no teaching), one group receiving direct instruction, and one group being provided with relevant experiences to agricultural topics. Results showed that distribution of post-test knowledge scores changed drastically by intervention groups. There were significant differences in post-test scores based on students’ involvement with experiential learning (p < .001). Further analysis of the data displayed that 67% of the variance in scores can be attributed to method of instruction received. In addition, focus groups were conducted to assess student knowledge gain and perceptions of agricultural production. Focus group responses were analyzed and grouped into the following themes: 1. The interesting and dynamic nature of agriculture and the lessons 2. Stereotypical preconceived notions of agriculture 3. Desire to learn more about agricultural topics 4. The role of experiential learning (and lack thereof) 5. Increase in knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of agriculture Results revealed that the participants who experienced the hands-on approach to the lessons had a more lasting and richer learning experience than those who did not participate in a hands-on approach. The results also indicated not only an increase in knowledge among students, but a willingness for future agricultural education opportunities and a deeper appreciation for agriculture.

Many high schools have shifted from comprehensive graduation exams to a focus on College and Career Readiness. A common method used to determine when a student is college and career ready is a Career Readiness Indicator (CRI). Many CRIs demonstrate a benchmark learning goal for students. Among academic-based CRIs are Career and Technical Education (CTE) industry credentials. Credentials are just one way that agriculture classrooms contribute to student success. This study compiled existing research on CRIs and employability skills in CTE students to determine how the State FFA Degree could potentially fit into this category as well as highlight specific employability aspects of FFA members that coincide with the three-circle model of agricultural education. Data were collected and analyzed to compare FFA members to non-FFA members. FFA members who have earned their State FFA Degree were additionally compared to FFA members who did not earn the State FFA Degree.

The recruitment and retention for underrepresented minority (URM) students in agriculture and natural resources have been minimal. The importance of elucidating the lack of representation of students of color and underrepresented minority (URM) students in these fields suggests that appropriate actions at the secondary school and collegiate level need consideration. According to Silas (2016, p.iii), "students of color are currently underrepresented in agricultural disciplines when examining the increasingly diverse make-up of the United States." Examining the recruitment and retention strategies institutions are currently implementing is critical because of the narrative of these particular fields in the treatment of students of color and URM students over time. Many students of color and URM students that are currently matriculating a degree or currently in a career in these respective areas have possibly experienced the imposter phenomenon and imposter syndrome. People may feel like an imposter regarding accomplishments they believe they do not deserve or questioning their ability to receive such accolades. When an individual inhibits these feelings, this is an example of the imposter phenomenon or imposter syndrome. The imposter phenomenon, first recognized by Clance and O'Toole (1988), is a motivational disposition in which persons who have achieved some level of success feel like fakes or imposters. Individuals likely experiencing these imposter feelings during a period were examined using a lens based on the Critical Race Theory (Bell; 1987, Crenshaw, 1989; Delagado andStefancic, 2012) and Racial Identity Development Theory (Helms, 1990; Helms, 1993). The phenomenological study examines the effects of IP/IS in URM graduate students in agricultural and natural resource-related majors and fields. This method focuses on the participants' lived experiences regarding this phenomenon. The study itself examined how URM graduate students dealt with these particular feelings in their respective environments and what solutions were suggested or needed. The researcher interviewed ten participants regarding their perceptions of diversity and inclusion in agriculture, natural resources, and STEM-related fields. / Doctor of Philosophy / The need for diversity and inclusion within agriculture, natural resources, and STEM-related fields is critical and imperative as the demographics of the United States are changing. The shortage of minority individuals within agriculture, natural resources, and STEM-based fields impede the ultimate success and potential within these areas. The utilization of underrepresented minority (URM) individuals within these spaces ensure proper diversity and inclusion methods within these environments. The minimal efforts of diversity and inclusion within these environments are likely to promote feelings of an imposter within these URM individuals which would likely hinder success and motivation. The imposter phenomenon and imposter syndrome are particular feelings in which persons who have achieved some level of success possibly feel like fakes or imposters. This study examines the perceptions of URM students that have perhaps experienced feelings related to this phenomenon in less diverse and inclusive settings. The researcher examines critical race theory and racial identity development by interviewing ten participants about their perceptions of diversity and inclusion and the imposter phenomenon and imposter syndrome within the agricultural, natural resource, and STEM-related majors and fields.
