Perception and Training Needs of Mississippi State University Extension Agents and the Level of Demand They Receive for Information in Organic AgricultureAl-Janabi, Thamir Niamah 14 December 2018 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine perception and training needs of Mississippi State University Extension agents in organic agriculture. The study followed the Borich Needs Assessment Model. Data were collected via Qualtrics. The population of the study was 154 Mississippi State University Extension agents with 77 Extension agents responding to the questionnaire. Most agents were 40 to 49 years old with an almost equal percentage being male and female. The majority of agents (75.3%) had master’s degree. More than one third of the agents indicated the level of demand towards raising livestock organically had stayed the same. Also, approximately 40% of agents indicated the level of demand towards growing row crops had stayed the same. However, more than one half of agents indicated the level of demand towards growing produce organically had increased. The level of confidence of Mississippi State University Extension agents in conducting activities in organic agriculture was ranged from M = 2.50 to M = 3.56 on five-point scale. The mean of the Extension agents’ perception towards organic agriculture ranged from M = 2.52 to M = 3.98 on five-point scale. The five organic agriculture topics that had the highest mean weighted discrepancy score (MWD) were “Appropriate amounts of bioertilizers to use in organic agriculture”, “Appropriate amounts of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in organic agriculture”, “Organic certification”, “Organic agriculture standards”, and “Types of bioertilizers used in organic agriculture”. Regarding the relationship between selected demographic characteristics and training needs, significant differences existed among age groups in only three topics with significant differences among gender found in 10 topics. Furthermore, significant differences were found between agents’ experiences groups in one topic. Moreover, significant differences among the highest level of education groups were found in 4 topics. Significant differences among the number of trainings groups were found in only one topic. Since more than one-half of Extension agents had no trainings regarding organic agriculture and Extension agents need high training in approximately one-half of the 29 organic agriculture topics, Mississippi State University Extension needs to provide more training and programming in organic agriculture via formal and/or nonormal education.

An assessment of the inservice training needs of Mississippi County Extension Directors in the area of program needs assessmentJackson-Banks, Martha 02 May 2009 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to address in-service training needs of Mississippi County Extension Directors in the area of program needs assessment. The population consisted of the 80 County Extension Directors; 2 positions were vacant. Eighty percent of County Extension Directors responded. County Extension Directors that responded by program area: 38 Agriculture and Natural Resources, 12 Family and Consumer Sciences, 4 4-H Youth Development, and 10 County Extension Directors that are Generalists. Sixty-one percent were male and 39 percent were female. Eight percent completed a bachelor’s degree, 11% completed a bachelor’s degree plus graduate work towards master’s degree, 60% completed a master’s degree, 14% completed a master’s degree plus graduate work towards doctorate, and 6% completed a doctorate degree. The study used a descriptive survey research design. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations were utilized in the study. The Borich Needs Assessment Model was used to analyze the in-service training needs of County Extension Directors. Findings from the study indicated that County Extension Directors need in-service training on needs assessment. County Extension Directors reported below average competency in the following: analyzing survey data, interpreting statistical data, identifying sources of statistical data, and entering survey data into spreadsheets. The findings also indicated that County Extension Directors lack an understanding of how needs assessment impact funding of programs within Mississippi State University Extension Service and that training can be targeted to specific program areas. Findings show there is a need to re-offer training on the Strengthening Extension Advisory Leaders Curriculum since the result of knowledge and usage is extremely low. Additional finding revealed that County Extension Directors need training on the Logic Model.
