Abstract

AbstractAgricultural and environmental literacy are essential public goods, but associated education efforts struggle to reach broad audiences. Understanding learner backgrounds and lived experiences can help address this challenge. We assessed the relative importance of demographics, parent views of agriculture, interactions with farmers and parents, and learning setting in predicting agricultural literacy among 525 elementary school children in North Carolina, USA. We used classification and regression trees and random forest models, which account for non-linear and interacting relationships. Knowing a farmer and engagement with parents were more predictive of children agricultural literacy than demographics, countering historically held deficit-based assumptions around agricultural and environmental literacy.Keywords: agricultural literacyenvironmental literacyclassification and regression tree analysisculturally responsive programming AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank the participating families who took time out of their farm visits or busy days to share their thoughts and feelings on local foods. We also thank the teachers who partnered with us on this project, particularly those who continued as COVID-19 posed a myriad of challenges.Disclosure statementNo potential competing interest was reported by the author(s).

家庭问题:代际对儿童农业素养的影响

摘要农业和环境知识是必不可少的公共产品，但相关的教育努力难以达到广泛的受众。了解学习者的背景和生活经历有助于应对这一挑战。我们评估了人口统计学、家长对农业的看法、与农民和家长的互动以及学习环境在预测美国北卡罗来纳州525名小学生农业素养方面的相对重要性。我们使用了分类、回归树和随机森林模型，它们解释了非线性和相互作用的关系。与人口统计数据相比，了解农民和与父母接触更能预测儿童的农业素养，这与历史上围绕农业和环境素养的基于赤字的假设相反。关键词:农业素养环境素养分类回归树分析文化响应程序致谢感谢参与活动的家庭在百忙之中抽出时间与我们分享他们对当地食物的看法和感受。我们还要感谢在这个项目上与我们合作的教师，特别是那些在COVID-19带来无数挑战时坚持不懈的教师。披露声明作者未报告潜在的竞争利益。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
