Identifying the Characteristics of an Effective Agricultural Education Teacher: A National Study

Abstract: The educational landscape in America is changing every day. The need for effective teachers, especially those in agricultural education, remains a high priority. This national study sought to identify the human capital (i.e., education, training, skills, and experiences) necessary for effective school-based agricultural education teachers. The modified Delphi approach consisting of award- winning agricultural education teachers, state staff, and National FFA Board of Directors in the 2017 calendar year was use… Show more

“…These overarching themes supported 15 categories. The category of balance emerged in all phases of the study, supporting the findings of Eck et al (2019) who reported balance as an essential component to effective teaching in SBAE. The growth demonstrated by the teaching candidates through video reflection over the 15-week clinical teaching internship aligns with the cyclical process of experiential learning through the phases of appreciation, action, and re-application (Schön, 1983(Schön, , 1991.…”

“…As SBAE has evolved in recent decades, the expectations for effective teaching practices have likewise been impacted. Effective SBAE teachers are knowledgeable in agricultural subject matter (Eck et al, 2019) and proactively, contextually teach academic concepts throughout their curricula (Roberts & Dyer, 2004). As greater calls for academic content application in the context of SBAE have been sounded, expectations have increased for teachers to respond (McKim et al, 2016).…”

“…SBAE programs are intended to be led by qualified, effective SBAE teachers (Easterly & Myers, 2017;Phipps et al, 2008). Effective SBAE teachers are necessary components of quality SBAE programs (Easterly & Myers, 2017) who display a variety of characteristics (Eck et al, 2019;Roberts & Dyer, 2004), including dedication, pedagogical knowledge, and knowledge about agriculture. Knowledge about agricultural subject matter has been consistently identified as a trait of effective SBAE teachers (Eck et al, 2019;Roberts & Dyer, 2004;Whittington, 2005).…”

“…Teachers may be faced with teaching metalworking, welding, biofuels, alternative energy systems, structures, woodworking, power mechanics, electricity, and more within agricultural mechanics courses and laboratories . SBAE teachers need agricultural subject matter expertise to effectively teach topics relevant to industry and to better serve students over the long term (Albritton & Roberts, 2020;Easterly & Myers, 2017;Eck et al, 2019;Roberts & Ball, 2009). Pre-service (Tummons et al, 2017) and in-service SBAE teachers (Burris et al, 2010) often feel under-prepared to teach agricultural mechanics courses.…”
