Sommario/riassunto

During the days in the field, we got to know the farmers... They are unpretending, loyal, and warm-hearted. This experience is a rich treasure in my life. - Zhang Ziqin, course participant. Across China, university staff, researchers, students, and farmers are joining forces to promote rural development studies. Learning from the Field shows how these traditionally disparate groups can work together for curriculum reform. The book showcases the manner in which innovative ideas about curriculum reform are born, put into practice, and further refined



through a joint experiential, learning-by-doing
