The Level Of Agreement Among Superintendents, Principals, And Instructors Concerning Adult Agricultural Education

Over the years, there have been several research studies investigating adult agricultural education programs and the perceptions of instructors and administrators (Ekstrom and McClelland, 1952; Phipps, 1980; Loreen, 1958; Adelaine and Foster, 1987). All of these studies obtained responses from public school administrators and vocational agriculture instructors. These responses were then generally grouped into areas that pertained to similar concepts. Some of these concepts were the funding, mission of, and the need for adult programs. Particularly lacking in these studies and research similar to these is investigation into the level of agreement among school administrators and adult education instructors concerning adult education.
