Theoretical Logic and Practical Exploration of Science and Technology Courtyards Empowering the Construction of Learning-oriented VillagesA Multi-Case Analysis Based on Fujian Province

Objective/Meaning To explore the paths and mechanisms by which science and technology courtyards empower the construction of learning-oriented villages, enrich the theoretical system of rural learning ecology, and provide implementable references for practical development.

Methods/Procedures This study selected eight typical science and technology small courtyards in Fujian Province for a multi-case study. By using the methods of interviews, observations and literature induction, and based on the framework of “subject activation - process interaction - effect manifestation”, it analyzed the mechanisms of knowledge flow, skill improvement, network construction and common body shaping.

Results/Conclusions Research shows that “zero-distance” rooted interaction is the key to building trust and promoting the application of knowledge. The “learning by doing” industrial integration model is the core for stimulating the initiative in learning. The diverse network constructed by the Science and Technology Courtyard as a hub has enriched the learning ecosystem. This study put forward several suggestions, including deepening the construction of farmers’ subjectivity, solidifying the outcomes of process interaction, promoting the circulation of learning capital, and ensuring the sustainability of the learning ecosystem.
