| Abstract | In light of recent suggestions that the quality of teachers is declining, a study attempted to determine if the academic ability of agricultural education graduates was significantly different from the academic ability of other agriculture, education, and university graduates. The study included four populations of Ohio State University graduates receiving four-year degrees between 1978 and 1983. Samples were taken of 105 agricultural education graduates, 160 agriculture graduates, 155 education majors, and 1,494 other bachelor's degree graduates. Data on the graduates were gathered from university records. Some of the results and conclusions of the study were as follows: (1) this study did not support the hypothesis suggested by other studies that agriculture education graduates ranked lower academically than other graduates; (2) agricultural education graduates earned scores on the English, mathematics, and composite portions of college entrance tests that were not significantly different from secondary education graduates; and (3) neither the high school percentile rank nor the high school grade point average earned by agricultural education graduates was significantly different from that earned by secondary education graduates, although the secondary education graduates did have higher scores in the humanities, social sciences, and specific content-area courses. The data clearly indicate that agricultural education graduates are as academically inclined as other education and university graduates. The study suggested that the lower esteem in which some professors hold agricultural education graduates implies an image problem that should be the concern of agricultural educators. (KC) |
