Abstract

The target population consisted of AGRICULTURE instructors of AGRICULTURAL TRAINING CENTERS OF MAZANDARAN AND GOLESTAN PROVINCES, Iran (N=104). In total, 89 questionnaires AGRICULTURE instructors were gathered and analyzed. Validity of the instrument was verified by a panel of experts consisting of faculty members specialized in agricultural extension and education. A reliability analysis being conducted resulted in a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.81. Based on Borich needs assessment model, a number of 24 modified professional competencies from previous researches were developed to assess the educational needs of agricultural instructors. Overall competencies were analyzed and ranked using Mean Weighted Discrepancy Scores (MWDS). Findings in the study revealed a number of four educational needs by agricultural instructors including: getting to know internet application in classroom teachings, getting to know different evolutional methods, how to motivate students to learn, and the teaching of problem solving skills, respectively. Results obtained from Spearman' correlation indicate that there is a significant correlation between the age, the factors of years of agricultural teaching experience, number of participations in in-service courses and the dependent variable of in-service needs rate. It is worth noting that significant differences were observed among educational need rates of respondents as regards the suggested season for in-service courses.
