Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine computer and INTERNET use in agricultural EXTENSION by EXTENSION Workers (EWs). This study used a descriptive-correlational design. Population for the study consisted of all EXTENSION workers (N=320) in Isfahan Province, Iran. A stratified sampling technique and census was used to select EWs (n=200). Overall, findings indicate that EWs have access to computers both at work and home. On average, they use computers approximately 6 – 8 hours per week and majority of them use the INTERNET on average of 1 – 4 hours per week. A majority of them reported “fair to high level” of skills in computer usage. For example, writing CDs, word processing, using computers for file management, and basic computer skills. However, EXTENSION agent's report “no to a low level” of skills relative to using excel, installing software, power point and micro soft access, Photoshop, statistical software, were the skills that EWs did not have. It was proved necessary to conduct a systematic assessment of training needs relative to computer and INTERNET use. Systematic training should be conducted in the areas that EXTENSION Workers perceived to be less skill.
