Agricultural schools in China have been undergoing a
huge transition as the system is shifting from
non-effective academic institutions to
vocational-oriented education brought on by China s
economic reforms. Changes of traditional curricular
and instructional methods have been recognized as an
important strategy to vocationalize the existing
agricultural educational system. To sustain this
effort, teachers have been identified as an essential
force in this reform movement. What kind of
attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to have to
deal with this change and how to prepare them to
carry out this challenge have become a center issue
in dialogues with the people involved. This study was
aimed at examining teachers current and desired
knowledge and skills related to curriculum
development and instructional methodology, and
identifying the areas that need to be addressed in

programs.
