- A Review and Synthesis of Research on Supervised Experience in Agriculture. Summary of Research 65. Barrick, R. Kirby And Others Academic Achievement Agricultural Education Program Attitudes Program Implementation Program Improvement Research Reports Secondary Education Supervised Occupational Experience (Agriculture) Teacher Characteristics A literature search of theses and dissertations was conducted in order to synthesize research findings related to supervised experienced in agriculture. Studies completed at the Ohio State University were located through a library search, and a search of the university's agricultural education microfiche collection and "Dissertation Abstracts International" was made to identify dissertations completed at other universities; other research summaries and proceedings were also searched. The search yielded 78 theses and dissertations related to supervised experience in agriculture. Six categories of research were identified: program partner perceptions of supervised experience; teacher characteristics; relationship of supervised experience to student achievement; supervisory visits; responsibilities for the programs; and the broadened concept of supervised experience. Conclusions drawn for each of the six categories of findings include the following: (1) all program staff and participants agree that supervised experience provide students with beneficial skills; (2) students and parents do not value the experience as highly as other program partners; (3) the agriculture teacher is viewed as being primarily responsible for the program; (4) the quality of school facilities provided has a positive impact on the experience; (5) the number of limited opportunity students enrolling in agriculture programs is increasing; and (6) all agricultural students should be required to participate in supervised programs. Recommendations based on the research findings were made for program improvement. (65 references) (KC)
