UNIT 1 — REFLECTION ACTIVITY

Title: Who Are My Learners?

This short reflection will help you better understand the farmers you are teaching and adapt your learning materials to their real needs.

Take 5 minutes to think about the following question:

“Who are the farmers I teach, and what are their main learning needs?”

Write your answer in 2–3 short sentences. Focus on:

·       Their experience level, such as young farmers, experienced farm managers, or family workers.

·       Their education or training background, such as mainly practical experience or formal training.

·       Their learning motivations, such as productivity, sustainability, or digital skills.

·       Any barriers to learning, such as limited time, seasonal work, or digital confidence.

Example: “The farmers I teach are mostly experienced family farm managers who learn through practice rather than formal education. They are motivated to improve sustainability and efficiency but need short, flexible learning activities that fit around seasonal work.”

This reflection will support you in creating practical, flexible, and learner-centred e-learning experiences for rural farmers.
