Outline of Final Research Achievements

A model of problem-based learning and research system was established in Royal University of Agriculture, Cambodia (RUA). In order to make such a model, experiments and field surveys relating to traditional rice liquor production, vegetable production and brown planthoppers were conducted with lecturers and students of Faculty of Agro-industry in RUA as a part of their curriculum. It worked as quality improvement of education as well as research activities in the RUA. The results of this study indicated that problem-based learning and research system tended to contribute to activation of both education and research activities of the university. Assistance for sustaining such system could be effective way of capacity building and quality improvement for agricultural university.
