Evaluation Of Instructional Materials Packets For Iowa Secondary School Agricultural Education Programs

Instructional materials for secondary programs in agricultural education have evolved in recent years to include computer and VCR player/recorder technology. At the same time, the more traditional instructional materials such as slide/tapes, filmstrips, transparencies, instructional units, skill sheets, books and booklets continue to be used in classrooms and laboratories. Varrella (1989) stated, "...there is a wealth of instructional material available to use that will serve many of our needs, if we can only access that material effectively and use it efficiently.”
