Insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables has been recognized as a possible reason for dietary deficiencies that contribute to rising chronic health issues and medical costs. Based on data generated by the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), South Dakota was listed as one of five states with the lowest daily adult vegetable intake (1.5 times per day). To continue the effort to promote a healthy diet, three independent surveys were developed and distributed to consumers, grocers, and growers (producers) to investigate factors that affected low consumption of fruits and vegetables and to identify opportunities to increase future consumption. …
College Students’ Perceptions And Practices Towards Environmentally Friendly Clothing: A Comparison And Exploratory Study, Jinhee Nam, Erika Chatmon
College Students’ Perceptions And Practices Towards Environmentally Friendly Clothing: A Comparison And Exploratory Study, Jinhee Nam, Erika Chatmon
Journal of Human Sciences and Extension
Despite the growing interest of environmentally friendly clothing (EFC), there have been discrepancies among customers in defining EFC. The purposes of this study were to assess the participants’ environmental orientation and environmental knowledge toward EFC, to compare them in terms of college major and gender and identify relationships between orientation and knowledge, and to acquire the current perceptions and practices toward EFC. The revised New Environmental Paradigm scale (NEP) with 15 items, the Environmental Apparel Knowledge scale (EAK) with 11 items, and the developed perception and practice question sets with 12 items were used. A total of 122 undergraduate students …

This article explores how evaluation has been developed and expanded within the Cooperative Extension system, from the beginning of agricultural education in America in 1800 to the present day. Important periods across the history of Extension evaluation have been identified and categorized according to major themes and significant contributions of Extension individuals and organizations. Challenges for the future of evaluation within Extension are discussed.

Walking The Pens: A Case Study Of Secondary Agriculture Teachers’ Experiences Using A Serious Digital Game In An Introductory Animal Science Course, J. C. Bunch, Angela W. Webb, J. Shane Robinson
Journal of Human Sciences and Extension
In a world where knowledge is a click away, today’s students need information delivered in ways that meet their expectations as digital natives. Serious digital games are one way to meet the demand. This particularistic case study sought to understand agriculture teachers’ experiences using a serious digital game in an introductory animal science course. Three themes emerged from the data collected: 1) the real-world context provided by the game; 2) the game’s potential to promote students’ agricultural awareness; and 3) teachers’ positioning of the game as a secondary teaching approach. Based on these findings, it can be recommended that professional …
Using Social Marketing Principles To Understand An Extension Audience’S Landscape Water Conservation Practices, Laura A. Warner, William L. Schall
Using Social Marketing Principles To Understand An Extension Audience’S Landscape Water Conservation Practices, Laura A. Warner, William L. Schall
Journal of Human Sciences and Extension
A substantial amount of water is applied to Florida landscapes, and encouraging water conservation through irrigation practices has been identified as a priority programming area where there is great opportunity to positively affect the state’s water resources. Florida Extension addresses this priority area through educational programming. Social marketing has been identified as a promising approach to changing behaviors that influence environmental issues, such as water-saving irrigation technologies and practices. This approach recognizes that there are barriers that prevent individuals from engaging in positive behavior changes. This study evaluated an irrigation seminar using a retrospective pretest-posttest design that incorporated elements of …
Agriculture Teachers’ Use Of Interactive Whiteboards (Iwbs): Teachers’ Perceptions Of Innovativeness And Technology Integration, J. C. Bunch, J. Shane Robinson, M. Craig Edwards
Agriculture Teachers’ Use Of Interactive Whiteboards (Iwbs): Teachers’ Perceptions Of Innovativeness And Technology Integration, J. C. Bunch, J. Shane Robinson, M. Craig Edwards
Journal of Human Sciences and Extension
The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study was to assess the level of innovativeness of Oklahoma secondary agricultural education teachers regarding their use of the interactive whiteboard (IWB). The study also sought to determine if relationships existed between teachers’ IWB innovativeness scores and selected personal and professional characteristics. The findings of this study revealed that as a teacher’s age and years of teaching experience increased, his or her perceived level of innovativeness regarding use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) decreased. Therefore, younger and less experienced teachers were further advanced in Rogers’s (2003) innovation-decision process. In addition, this study found that a majority …
