Oklahoma Leadership Development Event (LDE) Greenhand FFA Practice Test

In what type of SAE do students work on a project or service that benefits their community?

1. Research

2. Entrepreneurship/Ownership

3. Service Learning

4. School-Based Enterprise

The correct answer is: Service Learning

The correct choice is Service Learning because this type of Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) focuses on projects or activities that directly benefit the community. Service learning integrates community service with classroom instruction, emphasizing the importance of community engagement, civic responsibility, and personal development. Students participate in hands-on projects that have a meaningful impact, allowing them to apply their agricultural knowledge to real-world situations while fostering a sense of community involvement and responsibility. Other categories of SAE, such as Research, Entrepreneurship/Ownership, and School-Based Enterprise, have different focuses. Research emphasizes scientific investigation and experimentation, Entrepreneurship/Ownership involves managing a business or project primarily for profit, and School-Based Enterprise focuses on running an enterprise in a school setting. These do not require a direct benefit to the community in the same way that Service Learning does, which is why Service Learning is the correct answer.
