- Summary:
-
A study examined the amount and types of cooperation that are occurring between vocational agriculture teachers and county extension agents in North Carolina. The research sample consisted of 194 (49.74 percent) of the state's vocational agriculture teachers and 80 (80 percent) of the state's county extension chairpersons. Sixty-eight percent of the vocational agriculture teachers and 97.5 percent of the extension chairpersons responded to the survey. The respondents were asked to complete a mail questionnaire dealing with the various factors that influence cooperation and the appropriateness and occurrence of various cooperation activities. There was no single factor that the majority of respondents felt hindered cooperation. Colleagues' personalities and attitudes and similarity of program objectives were two factors that were felt to enhance cooperation among vocational agriculture teachers and extension agents. Though both the vocational agriculture teachers and extension agents agreed that most of the 19 activities listed on the questionnaire were valuable in enhancing cooperation, few of the vocational agriculture teachers indicated that they actually carry out the activities. Therefore, it was recommended that: (1) those individuals who are responsible for training vocational agriculture teachers and extension agents should be made aware of the ways in which each of the two groups can serve the other; and (2) further research should be conducted to determine the reasons for the discrepancy between the perceived appropriateness and actual occurrence of cooperative activities in vocational agriculture and extension programs. Tables are included. (MN)
