The Choice of Interdisciplinarity in French Agricultural Education
Description
Agricultural education very early on tested a generalized mandate of modular
interdisciplinary education. In this regard, it constitutes an interesting medium for observing
the conditions required for developing interdisciplinarity in an academic context. Based on a
historical approach, this text shows how a series of experiments led to a generalized mandate of
interdisciplinary education in the whole of training concerned, as well as the questions raised
by this generalization. Analyzing the discrepancy between the prescription and declared or
observed interdisciplinary teaching practices leads, in the conclusion, to a series of hypotheses
on the obstacles encountered.
