ABSTRACT

In this study the self-perceived training needs of Tennessee County

Extension Agents were compared with the training needs as perceived by

their district supervis nra in the areas of adult and junior leadership

training. Factors considered in this study were: (1) supervisory

district, (2) sex of worker, (3) percent of time devoted to 4-H work,

and (4) years of tenure with the Tennessee Extension Service.

Questionnaires were completed by 345.Tennessee county Extension

agents and by 15 district supervisors on 11 adult and 6 junior leadership

training needs. The data collection instrument was developed by The

University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Education Department in

collaboration with the 47H Department and the 1970 Committee on 4-H In-

service Training Needs.

The part of the questionnaire with was used in the study dealt with

adult and junior leadership training. Also, district supervisors indicated

how well-trained they felt their nts were as a whole on each of the

adult and junior leadership items. The agents and supervisors were asked

to indicate three priority training needs to be zho -n from the entire

survey.

Data obtained from the completed questionnaire were tabulated accord-

ing to a weighted value basis. Average ratings were calculated. Numbers

and percents were calculated separately in certain categories. Percentages

were based on the total number responding to eaeh,item.

Findings disclosed that the district supervisors gave lower ratings

for their agents on all adult and junior leadership training items than

the county Extension agents gave themselves. In all cases the men and

women district supervisors' ratings of their agents in the areas of adult

and junior leadership training were more similar than different. The data

indicated that there was only a slight degree of disagreement concerning the

self perceived adult and junior leadership training needs when the county

Extension agents were compared on district and sex of worker bases. However,

with respect to junior leadership training the men agents e frequently

rated themselves not very" well-trained than did the women agents.

The "0 to 25 percent of time devoted to 4-H group" more frequently

ranked both adult and junior leadership training needs as being more

critical than was true for the "25 to 75 percent" or the "75 through 100

percent" groups.

The data indicated little difference in training needs of agents in

the areas of adult and junior leadership training needs on the basis of

.tenure with the Tennessee Extension Service.

The district supervisors' perception of the agents' priority training

needs indicated that the supervisors, in general, selected more priority

needs in the adult leadership training area than agents selected in this

area. On the other hand, the county Extension agents felt that the

junior leadership priority needs were of greater importance than did the

district supervisors.

The data indicated that, as the percent of time devoted to 4-H work

increased, so did the proportion of agents indicating adult leadership

priority needs.

Recommendations for use of the findings and for further study were

made.

I. PURPOSES AND SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

furPoae

The overall purpose of this study was to assess i.Le self-perceived

training needs of county Extension agents in:the areas of adult and

junior leadership training and to compare these self-perceived needs

with agent needs as perceived by district supervisors. Attention also.

was given to some of the factors which might influence the perception

of these needs. Factors considered were: (1) supervisory district,

(2) sex of worker, (3) proportion of time devoted to 4=H programs, and

(4) years of tenure.

i'vgel4eUbjectives

The specific objectives of the study were as follows:

1. To identify and compare the adult and junior leadership

training needs of county Extension agents as perceived

(a) by the agents themselves and (b) by their district

supervisors.

2. To compare both the adult and junior leadership training

needs of county Extension agents by Extension supervisory

district.

II. METHOD OF INVESTIGATION

Population and_gamplingjrocedure

The population in this study consisted of 345 Tennessee county

Extension agents in the 95 Counties, and their 15 district superVisors

representing the five Extension districts,

The data collection instrument was developed by The Univer ity of

Tennessee Agricultural Extension Education Department in collaboration

with the 4-H Department and the 1969-1970 Committee on 4-H Inservlce

Training Needs. This questionnaire was mailed to 350 county Extension

agents and 15 district supervisors. All were completed, but five of

those done by agents were not usable. Therefore a total of 345 agent

Page 9: DOCUMENT RESUME ED 074 316 Hamill Marifloyd; And Others ... · ED 074 316 AC 014 232. AUTHOR Hamill Marifloyd; And Others TITLE Four-H Leadership Training Needs of Tennessee Agents,

surveys were available for summary. All 15 of the district supervisors'

questionnaires were returned and were in usable form. The portion of

the questionnaire which was used in this study dealt with how well-trained

the agents considered themselves to be on eleven adult and six junior

leadership training items. The agents were asked to indicate ne percents

of time which they devoted to 4-H programs, district supervisors were

asked to indicate how well-trained they felt their agents were as a whole,

not individually, on each of the eleven adult and six junior leadership

training needs.

County Extension agents and supervisors also were asked to indicate

the three training needs in the entire survey which they considered to

be their greatest priority training needs.

Another source of data consisted of biographical data sheets for

each agent in the Agricultural Extension Education Section files at The

University of Tennessse. Number of years of work experience with the

Tennessee Extension Service was the only experience considered in com-

puting tenure.

METHOD OF ANA.YSI S

formation obtained from the completed questionnaires was

tabulated on a weighted value which was arbitrarily assigned. The

weighted values were: 1.0, "not very"; 2.0, "Fairly "; and 3.4, "very"

well-trained. These values were used in calculating average scores

for each of the eleven adult and six junior leadership training needs

and these scores were then placed in rank order. The average rating

4

for each of the items was calculated by multiplying the assigned values

by the number of Extension agents responding in each response category.

The resulting number was divided by the total number of Extension agents.

The highest score was ranked number 11 for adult leadership and number

6 for junior leadership training needs, these being the total numbers of

items in the respective categories. The lowest score was r nke4 number

one in importance. Numbers and percents were calculated separately for

men and for women agents and for the total group of agents together

according to percents of time devoted to 4-H and by supervisory district.

Percentages were based on the total number responding to each item and

were rounded to the nearest whole number.

IV. MAJOR FINDINGS

Major findings will be presented under group headings related to

the objectives of, the study.

With District Supervisors' ?ereeption of_Agents' Needs

1. District Supervisors gave lower ratings on all adult leadership

training needs than did the county Extension agents, both of these ratings

being in terms of the agents' needs.

2. District supervisor tinge on all junior leadership training

needs of agents were slightly lower than the agents' self-perceptions of

their own training needs. This difference was less distinct than the

disparity between the too groups with respect to adult leadership needs

cited above.

3. District supervisors rated more adult leadership training needs

of agents in the "not very" well-trained range, than did the agents

themselves.

4. District I supervisors tended quite consistently to rate their

Agents somewhat higher than other district supervisors rated their agents

on adult leadership training needs.

5. Both for adult leadership and junior leadership training needs

of agents, men supervisors' and women supervisors' ratings were _rked

more by similarity than by difference.

A comparison of county Extension agents' self- perceived adult and

junior leadership training needs on a district basis revealed no more

than very slight disagreements.

percent or the 75 through 100 percent groups.

3. In Districts I and III the 0 to 25 percent group of agents

apparently did not feel as well - trained on the junior leadership training

needs as did agents in the same percentage of time devoted to 4 -Fl groups

IMPLICATIONS SUE TIONS

Underlying both the brOad purposaand.the specific objectives of

this Study was .the serious intent to- contribute knowledge and under

.standings which will be valuable in developing meaningful and significant

training programs- for Extension agents. In line with this intent, the

following implicationa and recommendations are presented.

1. Districtisuoervisors need t_o_bt aware of thtselt-Leercelygd

--(a) Inservice.training need inventories should be completed at

periodic intervals, probably no less frequently than every

other -year. Such inventories should focus onspecif c areas

of concern both to agents and to supervisors. -There should

--be some structure for regular discussion between agents and

supervieorsconcerning training. needs seen as Vital.

Certainly, vital involvement of agents in the planning and

development.of inservice. programs should be.continued. In.

such planning, care should be taken to include ideas from

agents representing different tenure 'periods different time

-commitments to 4 -H, as well-as both sexes.

-2. -Supervisory 4-H tnaervice training_ pro4ramfi should be developed

specifically with the _of district superviaors in mind. In the

past it has likely been that supervisors involvement in inserVice training

has been focused primarily on their respoLsibility for facilitating agent

involvement.

Inasmuch as the findings in the current Study are based on

relatively small numbers in many instances and refined

statistical tests of-significance have therefore not been

utilized, it seems important to follow up with research

-Which does Make such tests possible.

2. Along with the above recommendation would be seen the need

to control factors which.were not taken into account in the

current study and to isolate more carefully those influences

which were considered here. For example, -it would be in7

teresting to look at the influence of (a) types of education

and training and (b) background of professional experience

prior to-the period of-4-H inroivcmeent.

In terms of district supervisors' involvement in and influence

on 4-H programs, a study which conatders the effect of the

supervisor's past nvolvement with 4-H related activities and

programs and attitudes toward 4-H might be helpful, parti-

cularly in the selection of supervisors, if there is inte e

in the impact supervisors may have on program development

in their- district.

4. Data in other training areas of the agent 4-H inservice

training needs Lnventory should be studied to analyze and

determine non-leadership 4-H training needs in a similar

way to the present investigation. This would be true for

data collected in the 1969-1970 survey and future surveys

as well.
