Evaluating Agricultural Economics Extension Teaching

Robert E. Rieck

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1965, vol. 47, issue 3, 824-833

Abstract: Current interest in the profession indicates a strong desire to improve teacher evaluation—both resident and extension. L. S. Hardin's comment on this point in his 1963 presidential address and the recent proposal for a distinguished agricultural economics undergraduate teacher award are indications of this desire. This paper develops a concept of evaluation which recognizes the use of the scientific process in teaching—an important dimension of scholarly contributions to the profession in teaching and research. Criteria proposed to support this concept are focused upon the extension teacher. Methodology is identified as the most significant area of difference between criteria for quality teaching and quality research. Suggestions are made for implementing evaluation activities.
