Abstract	A study on the needs for articulation between Iowa secondary and postsecondary vocational agriculture programs was done (1) to determine the importance of selected activities in promoting articulation, (2) to determine the extent that these activities have been implemented, and (3) to identify priority articulation activities. A questionnaire was developed which included forty-five articulation activities and required that each activity be rated as to its importance in articulation and level of implementation. Utilizing this questionnaire, 222 Iowa secondary and 44 postsecondary agricultural educators attending a state conference were surveyed. The findings included the following: (1) that periodic revision of the agriculture curriculum to keep current with changing technology should be a priority activity, (2) that postsecondary school instructors are more concerned than high school instructors about conducting activities which promote articulation, and (3) that postsecondary school instructors perceive that articulation activities are being conducted to a greater extent than the level of activity perceived by high school instructors, and that all forty-five activities were important but the greatest articulation needs concern activities relating to program entrance and exit, communication, and career guidance and counseling. (Guidelines for improving articulation between secondary and postsecondary programs in agriculture and the questionnaire are appended.) (EM)
