Journal of Extension

"JOE On-Line--All of It" announces just what the heading suggests and reflects on how things have changed--and haven't. "December JOE" points to articles whose topics wouldn't even have been on our radar screen when the first JOE issue was published and to Commentary articles that ask the same question and challenge us with their different answers.

Leadership Training For Transforming The Community: A Participatory Approach, Nii O. Tackie, Henry J. Findlay, Ntam Baharanyi, Atheal Pierce

Journal of Extension

The study described here examined the effects of the leadership training workshops on selected residents in Clayton, a rural Alabama city. Data were obtained from 40 participants by a survey questionnaire administered 6 months after the workshops. The results showed that the workshops were well received and that many participants are using the information gained for community development. The participatory approach to training has sound philosophical and practical implications for effective community development. When participants are involved in identifying their needs and are included in planning of the training process, they are more likely to receive and use information provided.

Agricultural Landowners' Lack Of Preference For Internet Extension, Jennifer L. Howell, Geoffrey B. Habron Dec 2004

Agricultural Landowners' Lack Of Preference For Internet Extension, Jennifer L. Howell, Geoffrey B. Habron

Journal of Extension

Extension providers need to improve the communication of watershed conservation practices. In order to determine landowners' communication preference a survey was mailed to a random sample of landowners from four selected watersheds in Michigan. Four hundred three landowners from four agricultural watersheds completed the survey. A majority (77%) expressed support for written communication media, while a minority (19%) supported the Internet. Younger, more educated, more affluent landowners with home Internet access expressed more support for using the Internet. Results suggest that Extension staff need to provide more Internet training and experiences if the Internet is to contribute to watershed conservation.

Survey Of Extension Professionals' Skill Levels Needed To Practice Public Issues Education, Loretta Singletary, Marilyn Smith, George Hill, Patrick Corcoran Dec 2004

Survey Of Extension Professionals' Skill Levels Needed To Practice Public Issues Education, Loretta Singletary, Marilyn Smith, George Hill, Patrick Corcoran

Journal of Extension

The study discussed here examines Extension professionals' perceived skills to practice Public Issues Education. Extension professionals who responded rated their skills moderately, regardless of years of experience. This is true for all experience levels, with each level of experience having certain skill strengths that might benefit others. Those designing Public Issues Education trainings and curriculum for Extension professionals should not presume that tenure or experience in Extension guarantees high skill levels to effectively practice Public issues Education. Further assessments are needed to determine more precisely what skills and what skill levels are to be included in future trainings.

Agent Performance And Customer Satisfaction, Bryan D. Terry, Glenn D. Israel Dec 2004

Agent Performance And Customer Satisfaction, Bryan D. Terry, Glenn D. Israel

Journal of Extension

To fulfill its mission, Extension must develop programs that are relevant and high quality, and improve the lives of clients. Customer satisfaction surveys are used in Florida to collect data about these attributes. It is also important to understand how employee performance affects customer satisfaction. Our findings show that customer satisfaction was not significantly influenced by agent performance and that Florida Cooperative Extension benefits from the experience of its workforce. Given the importance of customer satisfaction as Extension's performance measure for the Florida Legislature, we suggest that administrators should emphasize customer satisfaction as a major factor in employee performance scores.

A Profile Of Female County Agricultural Agents In Today's Ces, Brenda S. Seevers, Billye B. Foster

Journal of Extension

Female county agents with agricultural program responsibilities consist of only about 11.4% of the total population. The study discussed here created a profile of women employed by the Cooperative Extension Service with agricultural program responsibilities at the county level. A mail questionnaire was sent to a census of the population (N = 488). Despite a high level of job satisfaction, almost 60% of the women felt they had experienced barriers and challenges in their profession as a result of gender.

Smith Lever 3(D) Extension Evaluation And Outcome Reporting--A Scorecard To Assist Federal Program Leaders, Bill Hoffman, Barbara Grabowski Dec 2004

Smith Lever 3(D) Extension Evaluation And Outcome Reporting--A Scorecard To Assist Federal Program Leaders, Bill Hoffman, Barbara Grabowski

Journal of Extension

The Government Performance Results Act requires that federal agencies and programs set goals and measure outcomes (USGAO, 1996); however, program managers find it difficult to make the transition from measuring program outputs to developing outcome-related measures (USGAO, 1997). The Hoffman EEOR Scorecard was developed to help federal Smith Lever 3(d) program leaders with this problem by blending the LOGIC Evaluation Model with the utilization of Extension evaluation and outcome reporting (EEOR) ideal practices. The utility of this question-based scorecard for all Smith Lever 3(d) programs is exemplified through its use with the CSREES Extension Integrated Pest Management Implementation Program.

Is Extension Relevant For The 21st Century?, Nancy H. Bull, Lawrence S. Cote, Paul D. Warner, M Ray Mckinnie Dec 2004

Is Extension Relevant For The 21st Century?, Nancy H. Bull, Lawrence S. Cote, Paul D. Warner, M Ray Mckinnie

Journal of Extension

As a 90-year-old artifact of the days when an agrarian economy dominated society, is it possible for Extension to still be relevant? As the primary outreach and public service function of land-grant universities, the relevance of Extension is tied to the perception and reality of the relevance of these host institutions. Did the recent ECOP report A Vision for the 21st Century and other ECOP statements address whether Extension remains relevant to the 21st century context? Extension educators are assisting communities of place and of interest and involving more university and agency colleagues in responding to changing citizen education needs.

Bringing People With Common Interests Together At A Trade Show, Mohamed Fr Khan

Journal of Extension

The International Sugarbeet Institute was developed as a "one-stop" meeting place for growers and providers of goods and services required for sugarbeet production. Growers are provided with the opportunity to discuss their needs and requirements with providers. For 2 days, individuals and companies make available all the machinery, equipment, technology, and services required by the sugarbeet industry. Popular national figures inform growers of issues that affect the industry. Participants share and discuss ideas on how to improve sugarbeet production and maintain a viable sugarbeet industry. Trade shows like the International Sugarbeet Institute are a great tool for Extension educators.

Weir River Estuary: Land Protection Plan, Chantal Lefebvre, Michelle Portman Dec 2004

Weir River Estuary: Land Protection Plan, Chantal Lefebvre, Michelle Portman

Urban Harbors Institute Publications

If economic growth were the only measure of a community’s health and vitality, then the communities of Cohasset, Hingham, and Hull are fairing well. But this economic success is generally accompanied by changes in the physical landscape that can be unsettling for residents, especially when it means more development and expansion at the expense of culturally and socially important open space areas such as parks, woods, and marshes. The rapid pace and fragmented nature of such sprawling development gives communities little opportunity to come to terms with the long-term impacts, which in turn can lead to a sense of powerlessness …

1984 Is Still Fiction: Electronic Monitoring In The Workplace And U.S. Privacy Law, Christopher Pearson Fazekas Dec 2004

1984 Is Still Fiction: Electronic Monitoring In The Workplace And U.S. Privacy Law, Christopher Pearson Fazekas

Duke Law & Technology Review

Electronic monitoring in the workplace has been the subject of relentless public criticism. Privacy advocates argue that technological advancements have given overbearing employers powerful tools to abuse employee dignity in the name of productivity and that new legislation should bolster workplace privacy rights. This iBrief contends that current U.S. legal doctrine governing electronic monitoring in the workplace is fair given the nature and purpose of the workplace, and potential employer liability for employee misconduct.
