An Analysis of Current Status and Needs for Developing Educational and Experiential Content at Eco-Cycle School Farms Mainly Concerning Elementary School Teachers

Urban Farm DB summary

This study surveyed 396 elementary school teachers and administrative staff in South Korea to assess the status and needs for eco-cycle school farm content. Among 323 teachers, 41.2% operated gardens, with "lack of space" (50.5%) being the main reason for non-operation. Teachers desired more diverse garden forms and higher budgets (KRW 600,000-1,000,000), and showed high demand for education on energy conservation and resource circulation.
