Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess student knowledge and perceptions of factors influencing participation in Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs. This descriptive study was conducted in 120 randomly selected agricultural education programs throughout four purposively selected states representative of the National FFA regions. Within each state the programs randomly selected to participate were from FFA divisions characterized as having urban city-centers with outlying rural/suburban areas. Students in Florida, Indiana, Missouri, and Utah completed a researcher-designed questionnaire assessing knowledge and perceptions on factors influencing SAE participation. A response rate of 43.3% (N = 120, n = 52) was achieved, with questionnaires completed by 1,038 students. According to findings of this study 45.6% (n = 473) of the students participated in SAE programs, with most categorized as an entrepreneurship SAE and classified as a livestock project. Students could only identify at most three of five SAE categories, and those without a SAE program were either not or somewhat familiar with the five SAE categories. Students surveyed in Missouri and Utah appeared to have the strongest SAE knowledge. Each state appeared to have three main types of school resources available for use by student SAE programs. Student perceptions indicated that teachers did encourage all students to have a SAE program and apply for awards and recognition; however, most did not receive awards and recognition for their SAE program. Students reported receiving SAE help from their teacher on a monthly basis most frequently. Most students used a paper-based SAE record book which they updated weekly or monthly. Students on average received a total of nine to 34 days of classroom SAE instruction and a total of eight to 33 days of classroom recordkeeping instruction during enrollment in agricultural education courses. Factors such as enjoyment of agricultural education courses, parental and teacher support and encouragement, resources (money and facilities), and opportunities for awards and recognition did not seem to influence student SAE participation. Contrary to previous research, involvement in community and school activities did not seem to negatively influence student SAE participation. Students did not believe they needed more SAE and recordkeeping instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture touches the lives of individuals every day, and some do not even realize it. As a means to educate society, agricultural education programs, such as "AgVenture," have been established to educate youth about the importance of agriculture to both the individual and to society. This study examined the direct impact that one agricultural education program, specifically "AgVenture," had on youth perceptions and knowledge of agriculture. Youth's perceptions and knowledge of agriculture were examined using a pre-test and post-test instrument administered to 41 fourth grade students who participated in the "AgVenture" program. The questions covered the basic agricultural material that the students would be exposed to at the program. Based on findings, it was concluded that the "AgVenture" program had a positive impact on the knowledge of the students regarding agriculture. It was also concluded that the students gained an understanding of what agriculture encompasses and that almost all students were impacted, in a positive manner, in regard to their perceptions of agriculture. Findings revealed that the need continues for agricultural programs to inform youth about agriculture.

Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to determine the perceptions of Missouri agricultural education instructors regarding their perceptions of program criteria for supervised agricultural experience programs. Three hundred and twenty agricultural education instructors participated in the study. Data were collected during the District Summer meetings at the Missouri Vocational Agricultural Teachers Association Meeting via a booklet questionnaire utilizing accidental sampling methods. Teachers' values in regards to SAE criteria were similar in how they valued National FFA SAE types or Missouri SAE Criteria. Instructors ranked Missouri SAE criteria, with Supervised, Agricultural, and Experience as the criteria most essential for a successful SAE Program.
Download or read book Determining the Relationship Between Levels of Achievement in Supervised Agricultural Experience and Career Choice written by Jason K. Perry and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural education is made up of classroom instruction, FFA participation, and supervised agricultural experience. This research project investigated Illinois agriculture teachers' perception of the impact of students' supervised agricultural experience projects on the students' career choice after high school. Also, this research sought to determine if teachers perceived students with higher levels of achievement in FFA proficiency awards (with their supervised agricultural experience projects) had a greater link to students' career choices. A survey was e-mailed to all 386 Illinois agriculture teachers and 87 submitted responses. Most responses indicated a link between students' supervised agricultural experience project in high school and their career choice after high school. There was also a weak positive correlation found between supervised agricultural experience and career choice (as perceived by teachers). However, this research had a narrow focus and a low response rate, so generalizations should be held until it has been repeated to determine if any trends exist.
Download or read book Factors Influencing Supervised Agricultural Experience Earnings of Ohio FFA State Degree Recipients as Reported on the Ohio FFA State Degree Application written by Steven Jon Gratz and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: There are numerous benefits for agricultural education students to conduct a supervised agricultural experience program. One benefit for agricultural education students who complete a supervised agricultural experience is a return on their time and/or money invested. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influenced the economic return on a student2s time and/or money invested in his or her supervised agricultural experience using data collected from the recipients of the State FFA Degree in Ohio during the 2002-2003 academic year. Initial factors considered were classified into three categories: personal characteristics, school-based characteristics, and community characteristics. Personal characteristics included type of SAE, FFA district in which the student resided, and the gender of the applicant. School-based characteristics included number of teachers of agriculture, high school attendance rate, and high school grade point average. Community characteristics included county population for teens (ages 15-19), teen poverty level (ages 15-19), and county per capita income. Results of the study indicated that there was a difference in the amount of economic return among males and females, type of supervised agricultural experience, and FFA members in different FFA districts throughout the state of Ohio. Interestingly, these factors were all classified as personal characteristics, indicating that the factors affecting the amount of earnings from an FFA member2s SAE were attributed to their personal characteristics.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As experiential learning can play an important role in an individuals career decision self-efficacy, this descriptive study sought to describe and compare secondary agricultural education students and secondary non-agricultural education students perceptions of career decisions with the intent of improving access to experiential learning opportunities at the secondary level. Using a descriptive research design, the study utilized the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES) to measure the five subscales of career decision-making: self-appraisal, occupational information, goal selection, planning, and problem-solving. Data was collected from three sample populations. The first sample was drawn from a population of secondary agricultural education students enrolled in one of eight programs in Central Pennsylvania. The second sample was drawn from a population of secondary students not enrolled in agricultural education from one suburban high school in Central Pennsylvania. The third sample was drawn from agricultural educators in one of eight programs in Central Pennsylvania. Agricultural Education students reported higher means in all five subscales of the CDSES compared to the non-Agricultural Education students. Both the Agricultural Education and non-Agricultural Education populations reported the highest means in Self-Appraisal (M=3.83, M=3.69) and Problem-Solving (M=3.78, M=3.72), respectively. Data for overall SAE participation was consistent with prior research. Agricultural Education students with greater participation in SAE activities reported higher means in all areas of the CDSES. Recommendations from study results include a greater inclusion and implementation of Foundational SAEs into Agricultural Education programs, expand experiential learning opportunities for non-CTE students, and further research into quantifying the impact of experiential learning participation on future employment of high school graduates.
