Integrated Five-Education Pedagogy in Agriculture-Focused Universities: Research and Implementation Frameworks

Abstract

Promoting the development of rural areas and modernising agriculture require new talents for the agricultural sector. The combination of the five types of education (morality and ethics, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labour) constitutes a new model for all-encompassing education in the new era, which can drive changes in all aspects of education at these institutions. In light of the five-education system, this paper will examine agriculture-oriented universities and clarify the special characteristics of agriculture within this system. We will explain the integrative logic that moral education provides the foundation, intellectual education serves as the cornerstone, physical education helps develop abilities, aesthetic education nurtures cultural cultivation, and labour education promotes practical participation. Opportunities and practical problems in curriculum division, dispersed resources, deficient assessments, etc., and the reasons for them will also be studied. Finally, the following are the practical paths of curriculum reform, construction of practical platforms and multi-stakeholder cooperation. Theoretically and practically, this paper aims to promote the integration of the five generations in agriculture-oriented universities and advance rural revitalization.
