Learning to Apply: From "School Garden Instruction" to Technology-Based Learning Environments

Urban Farm DB summary

A theoretical discussion grounded in structural-functionalist sociology (Fend, 1980; Parsons, 1959) addresses the two functions schools and universities serve for society and the individual: qualification and integration-enculturation. It engages the proposition that people learn for life rather than for school, but the abstract text itself contains no specific description of school gardens or technology-based learning environments.
