This study introduces an Action Learning -- Professional Development Framework (AL-PDF) designed to enhance research skills among young agricultural scientists in a rural institution. The framework tackles issues such as limited research capacity, the absence of formal professional development (PD) pathways, and limited resources. Beyond our…

Key components of any experiential learning module are the resources students use to learn. These typically include laboratory equipment, handouts, and instructional material in the form of videos or standard operating procedures (SOPs).
