This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion about the environmental challenges and socio-economic situation connected with conventional agricultural systems in the United States in the 1985s, and sustainable agriculture (SA), has mentioned the role of education in highlighting barriers. Advocates of sustainable agriculture declare that education about SA can present solutions to the current challenges in agriculture, provoke rural economic development, and enhance the scientific teaching of SA (Feldman, 1999). The goal of this study was to describe the perceptions of high school teachers about SA. A census of 17 teachers at the Global Impact STEM Academy (GISA) in Ohio (U.S.A.) was given questionnaires with five-point Likert-type scales and nine teachers responded. Teachers also self-selected into a focus group interview. In addition, a classroom observation was made in which qualitative data were collected.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine perceptions held by high school teachers of agriculture in the North Central Region of the U.S. regarding teaching sustainable agriculture in the agriculture curriculum. This region is comprised of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The specific objectives for this study were to: (1) identify perceptions of teachers regarding teaching sustainable agriculture, (2) identify the extent to which selected sustainable agriculture skills and knowledge were being taught, (3) identify the extent to which inservice training is needed in selected areas of sustainable agriculture, (4) identify demographic characteristics and their relationship with selected perceptions, and (5) develop a model inservice education program for teachers of agricultural education. The study utilized a descriptive research design with a self-administered questionnaire to collect data. The population consisted of all secondary school agriculture teachers in the twelve states of the North Central Region of the United States. The population for the study consisted of 2395 teachers as listed in the Agricultural Educator's Directory, 2000. A randomly selected sample size of 600 was used, with a usable return rate of 246. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Program. Out of the 246 respondents, 199(81%) were males and 47(19%) were females. Agriculture teachers in this study generally supported the concepts related to teaching sustainable agriculture, infusion of sustainable agriculture into the curriculum and the use of a variety of instructional methods to teach sustainable agriculture. The respondents indicated that they needed more information and instructional materials regarding sustainable agriculture. The teachers indicated a need for inservice educational programs that would help them teach sustainable agriculture. The major topics perceived to be priority areas contributing to an understanding of sustainable agriculture included soil erosion control, soil testing, soil conservation, environmental protection and profitability.

Book excerpt: The sources given the least ratings on credibility were television and radio programs, commodity promotion boards, newspapers, machinery dealers, and local seed and chemical dealers. Beneficial sources were similar to those observed for credibility. A curriculum development model was designed to assist educators to integrate sustainable agriculture subject matter into the teaching of agriculture courses. It was concluded that teachers need more training, experience, and instructional materials to enable them to help secondary school students to learn more about sustainable agricultural practices.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate about the socio-economic and environmental challenges associated with conventional agricultural systems in the U.S.A. in the 1980s vis-a-vis sustainable agriculture (SA) has included the definition of SA, the role of education in addressing the challenges and what should be taught about SA in high school and beyond. Proponents of SA claim education about SA can facilitate solutions to the current problems in agriculture, stimulate rural economic development and enrich scientific teaching of SA (Feldman, 1999; Sanstone, 2003/2004). The purpose of this study was to identify the beliefs of high school agriculture teachers about SA, and determine if any relationship about beliefs and the extent teachers teach SA exists. A random sample of 844 teachers in the North Central Region (U.S.A.) was sent questionnaires with 5-point Likert-type scales. Cronbach's coefficients for the instrument ranged from .74-.95. Teachers agreed to concepts about SA and taught selected topics in SA to a moderate extent. There was a positive but negligible association between teachers' beliefs about SA and the extent to which teachers taught selected topics in SA. Beliefs about SA uniquely explained no variance in the extent teachers taught selected SA topics controlling for the demographic variables. Teacher perceptions about SA practices influence minimally but significantly the extent teachers teach selected topics in SA. Selected topics that teachers rated highest (p

This book was released on 1999 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the agricultural knowledge and perception toward agriculture of eleventh grade students in Ohio rural schools. The study further sought to determine differences in the level of agricultural knowledge and perception toward agriculture in the following groups: (a) students enrolled in agricultural education in schools with a secondary agricultural education program, (b) students not enrolled in agricultural education in schools with a secondary agricultural education program, and (c) students in schools without a secondary agricultural education program. Seventeen schools with a secondary agricultural education program and 15 schools without a secondary agricultural education program participated in the study. Responses were received from 716 students. The instrument used in the study was the Agricultural Awareness Instrument, which measured agricultural knowledge and perception toward agriculture of eleventh grade students. Internal consistency was calculated for the agricultural knowledge section (.90) and the perception toward agriculture section (.81).
