Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Agricultural Education.
There are numerous benefits for agricultural education students to conduct a supervised agricultural experience program. One benefit for agricultural education students who complete a supervised agricultural experience is a return on their time and/or money invested. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influenced the economic return on a student’s time and/or money invested in his or her supervised agricultural experience using data collected from the recipients of the State FFA Degree in Ohio during the 2002-2003 academic year. Initial factors considered were classified into three categories: personal characteristics, school-based characteristics, and community characteristics. Personal characteristics included type of SAE, FFA district in which the student resided, and the gender of the applicant. School-based characteristics included number of teachers of agriculture, high school attendance rate, and high school grade point average. Community characteristics included county population for teens (ages 15-19), teen poverty level (ages 15-19), and county per capita income. Results of the study indicated that there was a difference in the amount of economic return among males and females, type of supervised agricultural experience, and FFA members in different FFA districts throughout the state of Ohio. Interestingly, these factors were all classified as personal characteristics, indicating that the factors affecting the amount of earnings from an FFA member’s SAE were attributed to their personal characteristics.
