AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE • BASIC HORTICULTURE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The specific learning outcomes prescribed in this module form the basis for an introductory course on basic horticulture. It is envisaged that schools will draw on a wide variety of available resources and outside experts for the completion of the module. In addition to the exercises described in this module the teacher may select other materials and exercises. For example: • Identify common herbs and their uses in cooking, cosmetics and medicine. • Grow an herb using a suitable propagation and cultural technique. • Draw up a record of techniques used, and maintenance carried out during the growing process. While the units will form the basis for any exam-based assessment, additional activities related to the module entered into by students would be acceptable for meeting the requirements of other means of assessment such as the task or practical performance test. A student-centred activity-based teaching approach should be adopted throughout. Wherever possible theoretical and practical work should be combined. Long theory sessions should be avoided. Use should be made of the following techniques: brainstorming, individual and/or group research, structured group work, case studies, career guidance resources, use of library, learning centres, activities in real or simulated situations. A visitor exercise may be used for technical input or for careers-related information. 12
