3 pages., Via online journal., Increased global trade coupled with diversified employment opportunities have generated demand for college graduates to possess enhanced interpersonal and foreign communication skills and a well-developed understanding of foreign culture. Horticultural employment opportunities also require students to possess a mastery of horticultural theory with an established record of direct, hands-on experience. Despite these needs, financial limitations of students and academic departments coupled with a lack of available opportunities may restrict students from developing these critical skills. Through development of cooperative learning programs, students have an opportunity to master and refine their horticultural skills while simultaneously raising funds, which are allocated for professional development including an international learning program. This article provides a successful overview of a student-based cooperative learning program that enhances student learning opportunities.

7 p., The increasing use of computers on the farm raises the question of whether these new skills will be valued in off-farm employment. Data suggests that computers are used predominantly for a single group of tasks that may not develop the "systems skills" that are becoming increasingly important in off-farm employment.

James F. Evans Collection, Mimeographed, 1994. 21 p. Paper presented at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Convention in Atlanta, GA, August 10-13, 1994., This paper reviews changes in the field of environmental journalism education both in academia and continuing education within the last five years. Based on a mail survey of educators and a telephone survey of selected environmental journalists, it shows that environmental journalism education is a field that is growing and maturing. In academia, there are new courses, new programs and new endowed chairs. In continuing education for professionals, there are many more programs available under major media and foundation sponsorship. Although it is maturing, the education field is still faced with problems such as lack of appropriate texts, mixed backgrounds for students and fiscal constraints. The professional field of environmental journalism faces a number of problems discussed from both the perspective of educators and journalists. The latter information is derived from a telephone survey of selected leading environmental journalists as well as a poll by American Opinion Research of more than 500 journalists. Advice is offered from both educators and environmental journalists for improvements in environmental journalism and needed developments in environmental journalism education. (original)

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 469-486, This paper considers the performance and motivation of extension staff mainly in the light of a) the governmental structure within which they find themselves and which largely determines their behavior, b) in terms of the skills required by them, c) in terms of their management incentives and career possibilities. The paper ends with some tentative recommendations for re-organisation of field staff and for alteration of that training. (original)
cited reference, IN 1971-2, samples of extension officers in the N.S.W. Department of Agriculture recorded the distribution of their work time to establish the proportion of time spent on direct extension, supportive work and non-extension duties, and to examine the relative emphasis on mass, group and individual extension contact. About half the time was spent on communicating with farmers or preparing to do so, and the individual contact overshadowed group and mass media extension. Major changes in the distribution of work time could be brought about by a redefinition of objectives and improved planning.
