Abstract:
In a recent article in the NACTA Journal, Zurbrick suggested one approach to curriculum development that merits attention involves the identification and utilization of competencies (skills and knowledge) as a means of developing a relevant and articulated instructional program (3, p. 23). Zurbrick then reports in some detail utilization of that approach in developing a set of core competencies for agriculture students at the University of Arizona.
