Abstract | Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess Egyptian Agricultural Technical School (ATS) teachers' implementation of active learning strategies in their classrooms. Methods: The Stages of Concern Questionnaire was administered to 230 participants in active learning workshops. After eliminating headmasters, supervisors and people no longer teaching, the population became 160 teachers with usable responses from all. Findings: ATS instructors who had participated in an active learning workshop indicated some concern in adopting the innovation and in being well prepared to utilize the strategies. Implications: Adoption of innovations is dependent upon instructor motivation to change and support from the school. Future workshops must address those concerns, as well as provide additional information regarding how to implement innovative strategies. Value: ATS teachers in Egypt have participated in various workshops to assist them in learning about, practicing and incorporating into their teaching the innovation of active learning strategies. Agriculture teachers do not complete formal preparation to become teachers in Egypt, so the development of teaching strategies is often neglected. ATS instructors may be reluctant to adopt new innovations such as active learning, since there are few incentives to make changes and few opportunities to learn new strategies. If workshops on active learning are to be continued, the concerns of teachers regarding the adoption of the innovation can be valuable. Further investigation is also warranted regarding the implementation of and concerns with each of the active learning strategies. (Contains 1 table and 6 figures.) (As Provided). |
