The purpose of this study was to describe the nature of |
|
early field experience (EFE) in agricultural teacher |
|
education programs nationally. A descriptive census |
|
survey of all active agricultural teacher education |
|
programs in the country was used for this study. The fact |
|
that nearly all agricultural teacher education programs |
|
require EFE indicates that EFE is valued as an important |
|
component of teacher education programs. It was |
|
discovered that multiple early field experiences are |
|
required at multiple classification levels. The primary |
|
responsibility for EFE and the associated administrative |
|
tasks are placed on faculty within the agricultural |
|
teacher education program. Similarities regarding EFE |
|
requirements seem to end at broad, categorical levels. |
|
Most programs report having requirements; however, the |
|
means by which each program fulfills the requirements are |
|
considerably different. Teacher licensure, as well as |
|
state and national teacher education accreditation, |
|
influences procedural and minimum EFE requirements. This |
|
study provides the foundation for further research. |
|
Additional research is needed to identify the purposes |
|
and outcomes of EFE and determine the extent to which |
|
student learning occurs. (Contains 1 figure and 3 |
|
tables.) |
