Abstract

Tasikmalaya Regency, with its abundant agricultural potential, is a strategic location for the Integrated Farming System Development Project in the Highlands (UPLAND). This project aims to increase agricultural productivity through a holistic and integrated approach, focusing on developing location-specific, export-oriented agricultural commodities. The 1st Batch of Livestock Business Management Field School was held to improve the knowledge and skills of farmers in livestock business management. The method used was participatory learning based on experience, with 80% of the time spent on direct practice in the field. The evaluation results showed an increase in the average score of participants from 69.60 to 84.40, proving the effectiveness of the Field School in improving knowledge and skills. The practice of cultivating Green Forage was the most popular activity. The Field School has proven to be effective in improving the knowledge and skills of farmers in various agricultural sectors, in line with previous research. This activity ended with the preparation of a follow-up plan by participants to apply the knowledge gained. However, the limited duration of the training and the evaluation that was limited to measuring knowledge were noted. For the future activity, a more comprehensive evaluation and development of a more in-depth training module are needed.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Field School Livestock Business Management program in enhancing the knowledge and skills of livestock farmers in Tasikmalaya Regency, a region implementing the Upland Areas Project (UPLAND). Employing a quantitative pre- and post-test design, the research assessed the impact of the Field School on participants from Batch 1 (n=25) and Batch 2 (n=25). The curriculum encompasses crucial aspects of livestock management, including feed cultivation, barn management, seed selection, husbandry techniques, and reproduction management, with Class 2 also participating in practical forage crop cultivation. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in the mean knowledge and skill scores for both classes following the Sekolah Field intervention. Batch 1 demonstrated an increase from a pre-test mean of 69.60 to a post-test mean of 84.40, while Batch 2 demonstrated a more substantial gain from 60.40 to 83.20. Inferential statistical analysis on the normalized gain scores indicated a significantly higher learning efficiency in Batch 2 compared to Batch 1, suggesting that factors such as the practical forage cultivation session may have contributed to enhanced learning outcomes. These results underscore the efficacy of the Field School as an impactful extension methodology for improving livestock farmers' competencies, aligning with the UPLAND project's goals of fostering integrated and sustainable agricultural systems. The study highlights the potential of participatory, hands-on learning approaches in promoting knowledge acquisition and skill development crucial for modern livestock management. Future research should focus on longitudinal assessments of knowledge retention and the actual adoption of sustainable practices, as well as exploring the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the Sekolah Field program in the long term.
