Abstract:

The purpose of this study has been to determine the effects of an introductory agricultural education course on high school urban students agricultural literacy and their perceptions of the food and fiber industry. North Carolina schools offer an introductory course called Agriscience Applications and is meant to be the first in a series of agricultural education courses. This course is expected to positively impact the agricultural literacy and perceptions of agriculture upon its students. Data were collected from six schools in urban counties throughout North Carolina with 152 respondents. Five questions were specified for this study as follows: 1) Does an introductory agricultural education course increase students agricultural literacy in an urban agricultural education program; 2) does an introductory agricultural education course increase student knowledge of agricultural careers and opportunities for employment; 3) does an introductory agricultural education class increase student knowledge of agriculture?s relationship with public policy; 4) does an introductory agricultural education class change a student?s understanding of agriculture?s relationship with the environment and natural resources; 5) what influence does an introductory agricultural education class have upon students? perceptions of the food and fiber industry? Upon completion of the Agriscience Applications course, students did increase their agricultural literacy. The students showed greatest improvement in agriculture literacy regarding public policy and the least improvement in career related knowledge. The perception scores of students regarding agriculture were not statistically significant.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to understand the teaching practices of the Agriculture Faculty at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). This study is at the intersection of the critical assessment and examination of assumption and exploring options and plans stages of transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 2000) and the environment factor of Astin's I-E-O model. Previous studies showed that tertiary education of Bangladesh fails to develop critical thinking abilities among the students. Higher order teaching practices help to develop critical thinking abilities among the students. Thus, it is important to explore the level of teaching practices at the Agriculture Faculty of BAU to understand how it supports critical thinking abilities among the students. Graduates being able to use critical thinking skills to solve agricultural issues will increase total food production and reduce national poverty. This study was an instrumental single case study. Faculty of Agriculture of BAU was the unit of analysis for this study. The findings of this study were only generalizable to the Agriculture Faculty at BAU and only relevant for Summer 2020. The phenomenon of this study was teaching practices at the Agriculture Faculty of BAU. Data sources included a census survey of active faculty members and content analysis of course syllabi. Findings from this study suggested that both teaching methods and course learning outcomes of the courses of the Agriculture Faculty at BAU were related the lower order of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RevBT). Moreover, faculty members from biological science and engineering used more teaching practices from evaluating level of RevBT than social science disciplines. Evaluating level is considered as higher level of RevBT. Male faculty members also used more teaching practices related to analyzing level than female faculty members. Analyzing level is also considered as higher level of RevBT. Faculty members identified that they have lack of training, standard teaching resources to use higher order teaching practices. Moreover, they also said that students of the Agriculture Faculty at BAU are more interested in job preparation than classroom education. However, faculty members also felt that higher order teaching practices can improve the creativity and critical thinking abilities for students and brings enthusiasms in teaching. Faculty members recommended that BAU revise its curriculum, syllabi, and assessment strategies to create higher order teaching practices in classrooms. As a result of this study, there is opportunity for faculty to increase their use of higher order teaching practices and develop course outcomes that support higher order learning. In addition, the university should revise their existing curricula and assessment techniques and give more freedom to the faculty members to choose their teaching and assessment methods. Finally, training should be organized to support higher order teaching by female faculty members.<br>Doctor of Philosophy<br>The purpose of this case study was to understand the teaching practices of the Agriculture Faculty at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). Conceptually, this study was coupled up with transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 2000) and the Astin's I-E-O model. The unit of analysis of this study was the educational environment provided by Agriculture faculty of BAU that offers a single under-graduate degree program called B.Sc. Ag. (Hons.). A structured survey questionnaire was used to collect data from the faculty members of the Agriculture Faculty of BAU based on Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RevBT). Additionally, all course syllabi were analyzed to identify the level of intended teaching practices based on RevBT. RevBT is the benchmark standard to evaluate the cognitive orders of the teaching-learning process, curriculum planning, instruction, and test tasks. Findings from this study suggested that faculty members slightly more preferred teaching practices from the lower levels of RevBT for the classroom teaching at BAU. Findings also suggested that teaching practices connected to the higher cognitive levels of RevBT were significantly varied based on academic disciplines and gender of the faculty members. Faculty members mentioned that lack of students' interest in classroom lessons, the rigid curricula and existing examination system of BAU, large numbers of students in classes, and lack of training of the faculty members are the main limiting factors for them to use higher order teaching practices in classrooms. However, faculty members also wanted to use the higher order teaching practices in classrooms as higher order teaching practices enhances students' creativity, problem solving skills, and critical thinking skills. Faculty members suggested to update course curricula, syllabi, and the exam system to support higher-order teaching practices at BAU. Findings from the course syllabi analysis supported that most of the action verbs of course learning outcomes of the course syllabi were connected to the lower cognitive levels of RevBT. As a result of this study, there is opportunity for faculty to increase their use of higher order teaching practices and develop courses that support higher order learning. In addition, the university should revise their existing curricula and assessment techniques and give more freedom to the faculty members to choose their teaching and assessment methods. Finally, training should be organized to support higher order teaching by female faculty members.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine experiences of southwestern Virginia high school agricultural and special education teachers with regards to the collaboration that may or may not exist between them to enhance the learning of students with special needs (SWD) taking agricultural education classes. It also sought to determine factors that motivate or inhibit collaboration, strategies for overcoming the barriers that may exist, and indicators of effective collaboration between these teachers. The following research questions were answered by conducting the study. 1. What is the status of collaboration between agriculture and special education teachers to enhance inclusion of students with disabilities? 2. What factors exist that either motivate or inhibit collaboration between agriculture and special education teachers with regards to enhancing the inclusion of student with disabilities in agricultural education classes and laboratories? 3. If barriers exist that inhibit collaboration between agriculture and special education teachers, what strategies might be implemented to overcome them? 4. What indicators reveal the establishment and continuation of effective collaboration between agriculture and special education teachers with regards to enhancing SWD learning in agricultural education classrooms and laboratories? The researcher used interviews as the qualitative research tool. Convenience, criterion, and purposeful sampling were used by the researcher to identify participants to best answer the studies' research questions. Overall, collaboration between agricultural and special education teachers did exist. The frequency of collaboration depended on many factors. In most schools the frequency was limited due to a number of barriers. Examples of these barriers included, but were not limited to, lack of knowledge of each teacher regarding the other teacher's discipline, case overload for special education teachers, lack of time provided for collaboration, and the physical distance between the agricultural and special education departments. Examples for overcoming the barriers included, but were not limited to, enhanced communication via technology, creative scheduling to allow for collaboration, and provision of professional development to enhance the knowledge of each teacher regarding the discipline of the other teacher.<br>Doctor of Philosophy<br>This study was conducted to determine experiences of southwestern Virginia high school agricultural and special education teachers with regards to the collaboration that may or may not exist between them to enhance the learning of students with special needs (SWD).

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge base and opinions about agriculture that were held by an urban community college population in the state of Arizona. Faculty members, teaching freshmen composition courses, in the two largest urban community college districts in Arizona were randomly selected and asked to distribute the survey instruments in one of their classes. The knowledge and opinion portions of the survey each contained 40 statements designed to assess a broad scope of agricultural information. The study found that a majority of respondents were not sure about the answers they gave on the knowledge assessment portion of the study. There was a significant difference in the way that minorities responded to questions when compared with non-minorities in both portions of the study. No significant differences were found when comparing responses between those who had previously had agricultural education experiences with those who had not.

Abstract:

Lindner, Murphy, and Wingenbach (2002), noted that agricultural education's core is communication because it is the component that spreads a variety of ideas to a large group of people and is the essential form of education needed for scholarship. Research is needed to ensure that agricultural education students are taught to write, effectively and efficiently, an argument paper that establishes the following components: coherence, audience awareness, argument, summary, sources, and grammar. The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine if the writing competencies of the Doc@Distance graduate students have changed or improved based on the recommendations made in a previous study. A census of the Doc@Distance students was taken for this study. Thirty students submitted an argument writing sample that they wrote during the orientation week of their program in August 2003. The conclusions of this study found that 68.8% of the 2004 Doc@Distance Cohort suggested inadequacy in writing an argument paper, and 71.4% of the 2007 Doc@Distance Cohort suggested inadequacy in writing an argument paper. Ending Cohort `04 demonstrated weakness in coherence, argument, summary, and grammar. Beginning Cohort `07 demonstrated weakness in coherence, audience awareness, summary, and grammar. As a result of this study, it is recommended that a follow-up study be conducted on Cohort `07 in two years to determine if writing abilities for argument papers have changed and to assess the overall changes in argument-writing for this cohort. It is recommended that a study be conducted on Cohort `10 upon admission to determine their argument-writing ability. Ending Cohort `07 and Beginning Cohort `10 should be tested to determine if a difference exists between students completing the program and students entering the program. It is recommended that undergraduate agricultural education students be tested to determine their argument-writing competencies. It is recommended to compare and contrast on-campus agricultural education students and distance education students at Texas A&M University. Finally, it is recommended that Cohorts `07 and `10 be evaluated on their competencies to write data reports, narratives, and informative and research analysis papeers.

Abstract:

This study explored the teaching of agriculture in Kenya's primary schools. It sought in particular to determine how the principles of "modern" agriculture may be taught effectively.<br>Previous studies on education and agricultural productivity have ignored the mechanisms through which schooling affects the acquisition of agricultural knowledge and skills. This study attempted to bridge this gap. To do so field work was carried out in four schools and their catchment areas in Kiambu and Kwale districts of Kenya. The data stemmed from field notes, tape recorded lesson transcripts, interviews and questionnaires as well as an exhaustive review of prior studies and government documents.<br>The findings indicate that the schools offer possibilities for effective teaching of the principles of "modern" agriculture. However, whether or not the school will play this role well or poorly depends largely on the improvement in general of the quality of primary schooling. This task involves increasing school resources, modification of the agricultural curriculum, improvement of teacher training, change in teaching methods and assessment policies.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to develop a standardized agricultural literacy assessment using the National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes (NALOs) as benchmarks. The need for such an assessment was born out of previous research, which found that despite numerous programs dedicated to improving agricultural literacy, many students and adults remain at low or very low levels of literacy. Low literacy levels lead to negative associations with the production and processing of food, clothing, and shelter, as well as misinformed public perceptions and policies. Agricultural literacy researchers recognized that the development of a standardized assessment for post-12th grade, or equivalent, could unify both research and program development efforts. The assessment was developed by forming two groups of experts. Teaching experts and agricultural content experts worked together in an iterative process. They crafted 45 questions using research methods and models. The 45 items were placed in an online survey to be tested for validity by a participant group. During the Fall 2018 semester, 515 Utah State University students between the ages of 18-23 years old participated in the online assessment. The participant data assisted in determining which questions were valid and reliable for determining agricultural literacy, as aligned to the NALO standards. Additional demographic information was also collected from participants. The demographic items asked students to self-report their level of exposure to agriculture and their self-perceived level of agricultural literacy. The study concluded that two separate 15-item Judd-Murray Agricultural Literacy Instruments (JMALI) were valid and reliable for determining agricultural proficiency levels based on the NALOs. Participant scores were reported as a single proficiency stage: exposure, factual literacy, or applicable proficiency. The study also determined that students who had a “great deal” or higher level of exposure to agriculture also had a strong, positive correlation with a “good” or higher level of agricultural literacy. Findings show participants who reported a “good” level of agricultural literacy shared a positive correlation with either performing at a factual literacy (middle) or applicable proficiency (highest) level on the assessment. The results suggest JMALI instruments have the potential to assist in improving current agricultural education endeavors by providing a critical tool for determining the agricultural literacy proficiency stages of adult populations.

Abstract:

This study examines agricultural education in Botswana among students and teachers. Since independence in 1966 to the present time, agricultural production has declined from about 40 percent to about 3 percent. Harsh climatic conditions and a general ignorance about agriculture contribute to the restricted perception of agriculture and careers in this field. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted with agricultural teachers who had resigned and former graduates in four secondary schools and three postsecondary educational institutions (Botswana College of Agriculture, University of Botswana, and Tonota College of Education). Negative, positive and mixed images emerged that revealed some similar and some contradictory perceptions of agriculture education. The attrition of teachers also attracted attention because of their working conditions and their images of agricultural teaching. However, the phenomenon of teacher attrition is not unique to agriculture. Students and teachers had conflicting images concerning curriculum instruction. Teachers identified the inadequacy of practicals because students are unable to apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired to satisfy the various skills required in their new jobs. On the other hand, students perceived practicals as misdirected intensive labour. Non-agricultural tertiary students demonstrated that they do not have a full understanding of the potential career opportunities that agriculture can provide. They often thought that agriculture was confined to ploughing and food production. Nevertheless, both agricultural students and non-agricultural students agreed that agriculture could be a good career that they might consider later in their lives. Participants in the study suggested strategies to enhance the poor perception of agriculture education in educational institutions in Botswana. One strategy was for curriculum reform, such that agriculture teaching should reinforce practicals that are relevant to students needs. Practical instruction should not be used as intensive manual labour but should be used to target specific skills that are needed in industry. Agriculture teaching should start at primary school so that pupils can develop a positive image towards agriculture education at a young age, at the age of seven students could be involved in simple experiments conducted in laboratories, then at eleven years students can start practicals in the garden, making sure not to overwork the pupils. Through career guidance and counselling, agricultural teachers should broaden the limited perception that agriculture is simply food production and expand the field to its scientific and commercial careers, such as food processing and marketing. Even though the Ministry of Agriculture provides some incentives to farmers, they misappropriate the schemes. Access to loans has to be provided for students who have completed their studies and cannot find jobs so that they can also join the field of production. Even though women are dominated by men in both agriculture and in education and food production in Botswana, this trend is changing; there are more female enrolments in agricultural educational institutions than males. The government is trying to create an equitable distribution of resources for women as well. The position of women in Botswana is better than what literature has revealed in sub Saharan Africa.

Abstract:

Texas A&M University of the United States and the Institute National Agronomique de Tunisie (INAT) of Tunisia established a collaborative relationship of mutual exchange of information and ideas for the further advancement of both universities. The researcher worked closely with these universities to conduct a qualitative study in Tunisia to determine the effectiveness of agricultural institutions working to further development in that country. The emphasis of the study was on the transference of knowledge and innovations from the research level through extension to the farmers and other end users. The triangle of teaching, research, and extension provided a base perspective. The researcher interviewed 37 respondents, including researchers, extension personnel, administration, professors, and farmers. From data that respondents provided, the researcher used a constant comparative method to organize results into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the agricultural institutions as a system. Overarching themes included a pointed focus on meeting farmer needs, but this desire was hindered from being carried out fully due to complex communication systems and an organizational structure that did not facilitate change. Hope did abound for Tunisian agriculturalists because the opportunities available through globalization and international collaboration far outweighed any possible threats to development, such as fierce competition in trade and lack of quality water. The researcher also made specific recommendations based on the information gathered in the study. These recommendations were based on the findings of the study, and they were directed to leaders within the Tunisian agriculture system and other agriculturalists wishing to further development in countries facing similar situations as Tunisia.

Abstract:

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico<br>Esta tese apresenta uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre os processos educativos gerados na busca pela convivÃncia com o semiÃrido brasileiro- SAB. A proposta de convivÃncia com o SAB aponta o fracasso da lÃgica de combate Ã seca, como meio de fixar e integrar o SAB no contexto da NaÃÃo. Nela, o processo de rejeiÃÃo ao ecossistema presente na lÃgica do combate Ã seca, vem a ser substituÃdo por uma postura crÃtica de compreensÃo, com base numa relaÃÃo de respeito Ãs coisas, pelo que elas sÃo, pelo que possuem de intrÃnseco e que tenta e quer aprender e apreender a sua lÃgica interna. Portanto, parte-se do pressuposto de que Ã, alÃm de possÃvel, conveniente e pertinente conviver com a seca e com o SAB, atravÃs de vivÃncias e de prÃticas solidÃrias de educaÃÃo. E, embora haja o reconhecimento de que a proposta de convivÃncia nÃo esteja pronta, existe uma ideia do conjunto dos elementos que a compÃem e do sentido que compreende a proposta, cujo elemento fundante reside na unidade entre humanidade e natureza, explicitando a centralidade da relaÃÃo com a natureza como elemento organizador da vida social e de todo a sociabilidade no SAB. A educaÃÃo Ã considerada o elemento central e estruturante da proposta de convivÃncia com o SAB, em funÃÃo do seu alcance e poder de difusÃo ideolÃgico e cultural, que permite trabalhar a mudanÃa de leitura de mundo, de valores e de ideias de representaÃÃo social da natureza dominante. Paulo Freire nos lembra que se a educaÃÃo nÃo pode tudo, porÃm sem ela nÃo dÃ para pensar uma nova sociedade justa e equÃnime. E, se a escola ainda reproduz uma visÃo do SAB, apresentando-o como lugar inviÃvel, com precÃrias condiÃÃes de vida, ressaltando os preconceitos e os estereÃtipos em torno dele e de quem nele vive, ela Ã, tambÃm, um espaÃo privilegiado e lÃcus de construÃÃo do conhecimento. Pelo alcance que possui, pode propiciar uma reflexÃo no e sobre o universo escolar, que viabilize um novo diÃlogo sobre a relaÃÃo humanidade-natureza, tecendo, junto, o fio do novo paradigma para aprender, reaprender a viver e conviver no SAB. A pesquisa objetivou compreender como o projeto polÃtico pedagÃgico da Escola FamÃlia AgrÃcola Dom Fragoso, localizada no municÃpio de IndependÃncia, relaciona e incorpora os princÃpios e os fundamentos da proposta de convivÃncia com o semiÃrido da ArticulaÃÃo no SemiÃrido Brasileiro â ASA, na contextualizaÃÃo dos seus processos e prÃticas educativas. A experiÃncia educativa da Escola vem promovendo a ampliaÃÃo do espaÃo pÃblico para o debate polÃtico sobre a convivÃncia com o semiÃrido e a contextualizaÃÃo da educaÃÃo dentro dos princÃpios da pedagogia da convivÃncia com o SAB. A anÃlise dos resultados nos revela que os/as estudantes da EFA Dom Fragoso levam os saberes sobre a convivÃncia como uma dÃdiva a ser transportada, que, ao migrar, se espalha, vai para as escolas pÃblicas do campo, da cidade, vai para as comunidades, invade os sindicatos rurais, ocupa novos espaÃos e participa como um dos protagonistas da grande rede de relaÃÃes e de sociabilidade presentes, atualmente, no SAB. O semiÃrido pode ser interpretado como o lugar de todos nÃs, humanos e nÃo humanos, que habitamos o planeta Terra. A sua singularidade pode ser lida como uma metÃfora para se pensar um mundo novo, uma terra prometida e uma humanidade nova cujo trabalho da educaÃÃo e da pedagogia da convivÃncia nos leva a crer num futuro para esse forte, adorÃvel e velho planeta, desde que se consagre a celebraÃÃo do Contrato Natural.<br>This thesis presents a qualitative research about the educational processes generated on the search for coexistence with Brazilian semiarid â SAB. The proposal of coexisting with SAB points out the failure of the fighting dry climate logic as a way of fixating and integrating SAB in the context of the nation. In it, the process of rejection to the present ecosystem on the fighting dry climate logic gets replaced by a critical stand of comprehension, based on a relation of respect for things for what they are, for what they have of intrinsic that attempts to capture its internal logic. Therefore, it is assumed that it is possible, convenient and pertinent to live with dry climate and SAB, through experiences and solidarity practices of education. And, even thought it is recognized that the proposal of coexistence is not ready, there is an idea of the set of elements that compose it and of the meaning that conceive the proposal, which founding element lies on unity between mankind and nature, showing the centrality of the relation with nature as element that organizes social life and all sociability at SAB. Education is considerer the main and structuring element of the proposal of coexisting with SAB, because of its reach and power of ideological and cultural diffusion, which allows working the change of reading of the world, of values and of ideas of social representation of the dominant nature. Paulo Freire reminds us that education canât do everything, however, without it, a new fair and unanimous society cannot be conceived. And if school stills reproduces a vision of SAB, presenting it as an unviable place with precarious live conditions, highlighting the prejudice and stereotypes around it and those who live in it, it also is a privileged place and locus of construction of knowledge. By the reach that it possesses, it could propitiate a reflection at and about the scholar universe, which makes possible a new dialogue about the relation mankind-nature, weaving along the thread of the new paradigm to learn, relearn to live and coexist at SAB. The research objectified to understand how the political pedagogical project of FamÃlia AgrÃcola Dom Fragoso School, located on the city of IndependÃncia, related and incorporates the principles and fundaments of the proposal of coexisting with semiarid from the Articulation at Brazilian Semiarid â ASA, in the contextualization of its processes and educational practices. The educational experience of the school have been promoting the enlargement of the public space for political debate about the coexistence with semiarid and the contextualization of education according to the principles of pedagogy of the coexistence with SAB. The analysis of the results shows us that the students of EFA Dom Fragoso carry the knowledge about the coexistence as a gift to be carried that, as it migrates, it spreads to the public schools of the country, of the city, goes to communities, invades rural syndicates, occupies new spaces and participates as a main character of the large net of relations and of sociability that are present currently on SAB. The semiarid may be interpreted as the place for us all, human and nonhuman, that inhabit planet Earth. Its uniqueness may be read as a metaphor to think a new world, a promised land and a new mankind, whose work of education and of pedagogy of the coexistence leads us to believing in a future for this strong, lovely and old planet, as long as it is sanctified the celebration of the Natural Contract.

Abstract:

Secondary agricultural education programs provide students an opportunity to gain a wide variety of knowledge about agriculture, as well as, the career opportunities within agriculture. The National FFA Organization is available for all youth enrolled in a secondary agricultural education program with a mission to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. In order to continue to have youth interested in agricultural colleges and the potential for pursuing agricultural careers, students must be educated about those program areas. Student perceptions of these program areas can greatly influence their motivation enroll in secondary agricultural education programs, join the National FFA Organization, and pursue agricultural career. This study used a survey method to determine the perceptions of students not enrolled in a high school agricultural program of secondary agricultural education programs, the National FFA Organization, and agricultural careers, as well as, determine the demographic characteristics of those students.

Abstract:

Formal agricultural education in England came into existence with the opening of the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, Gloucestershire in 1845. For many years, it remained the sole agricultural college in the country. This begs the questions why was it created at this time, and in this place? Why was its example not widely copied? The original intention of the founders was to provide agricultural education for the sons of working farmers in the Cotswolds, but this could not be sustained, and the target group and the catchment area were soon changed. What brought about these changes? In seeking answers to these, and other questions, the key role of a single individual, R. J. Brown, is examined. He was acknowledged as the originator of the plan to create an agricultural college. Having no English precedent, Brown looked abroad for models, on which to base his proposals and arguments. Some of the models he chose are examined for possible sources of inspiration and influence. The roles of other individuals and groups involved in the development of the Royal Agricultural College are explored. Attention is given to the fact that the College, which became a national institution, was launched by a local Farmer's Club, at a time when local and county Agricultural Societies were flourishing and the Royal Agricultural Society of England had been in existence for seven years. Brown was not the only individual to outline proposals for establishing an agricultural college. Two similarcontemporary schemes, for Kent and for Yorkshire are included for comparison, both of which failed. The foundation of the Royal Agricultural College in England is seen as part of a diffusion process starting with the pioneering work in formal agricultural education in Switzerland and Germany and its gradual spread that included the creation of establishments at Templemoyle in Northern Ireland and at Grignon in France. The creation of the Royal Agricultural College is regarded as an innovation, the result of a directed social programme, with Brown as the change agent. Use is made of Beal1s Construct of Social Action to discuss the process of the development of the Royal Agricultural College and the start of formal agricultural education in England. A retrospective view from 1907 of the achievements of the Royal Agricultural College is attempted, in the light of the evidence offered by the Principal of that time
