     summary: Sherwood et al. (1989) were some of the first to call for more research on the link between animal handling and positive affective outcomes, reporting that positive changes in student attitudes (short and long-term) were statistically greater when students handled live animals. Given existing research supporting the effectiveness of touching live animals on participants’ psychological and emotional outcomes, this study further explored the “why” of this impact and questioned if level of physical engagement with an animal can influence outcomes.

     summary: Our execution of the study was informed by our experiences as high school agriculture teachers and university faculty preparing and supporting agriculture teachers. Defining teacher resilience as “the capacity to maintain equilibrium and a sense of commitment and agency in the everyday worlds in which teachers teach” (p. 9), these authors suggested that teachers need “everyday resilience” (p. xvii) to successfully manage the multitude of challenges in their teaching.

     summary: The lack of a statistically significant relationship between metacognition and problem-solving ability, when accounting for systems thinking, suggests a slightly modified model (see Figure 3) in which metacognition directly influences systems thinking with systems thinking directly relating to problem solving ability. Given the abundant opportunities, and necessity, for problem solving within AFNR systems, AFNR Education must expand current knowledge related to problem solving ability (National Academies of Science, Engineering, & Medicine, 2018; Sterling, 2001).

     summary: Extension agents serving rural counties reported higher trust levels regarding benevolence (M = 5.52, SD = 1.41), integrity (M = 5.57, SD = 1.36), competence (M = 5.16, SD = Benge & Cash Advancements in Agricultural Development https://doi.org/10.37433/aad.v3i3.211 57 1.23), and predictability (M = 5.52, SD = 1.32), followed by mixed and urban counties, respectively. UF/IFAS Extension should seek to understand the impact of moderate trust between county Extension agents and their CED, as research show low trust typically leads to lower job satisfaction and higher employee turnover.

     summary: Past studies have explored the role of partisan media on consumers’ beliefs in climate change (Feldman et al., 2012; Feldman et al., 2014); however, there is evidence that media credibility and socio-structural variables are also important to consider when trying to understand the media’s effects on consumers’ climate change beliefs. The following objectives guided this research: (a) Describe the demographic characteristics of liberals, moderates, and conservatives; (b) Describe the differences in trust in science between political ideological groups; (c) Describe the difference in climate change beliefs between political ideological groups; (d) Describe the differences in cable news media use between political ideological Ruth & Colclasure Advancements in Agricultural Development https://doi.org/10.37433/aad.v4i2.263 23 groups; and (e) Determine how demographics, trust in science, cable news use, and media credibility predict Illinois residents’ beliefs in climate change across political ideological groups.

     summary: The Delphi technique was adapted to include the minimum of two rounds, because starting collaborative efforts from a point of consensus was important but the authors understand that the panel members had limited availability because of rough realities of their poor home life and extensive work responsibilities in agricultural production and community health. Colombia specifically represents a troubling case as it has a high percentage of rural populations engaged in agriculture, which makes the issue of farmworker health a major public health concern (Lopez & Valdez, 2000; Mejia-Mejia et al., 2007; Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social, 2021).

     summary: Perhaps one strategy researchers can use to address this issue is through visual Q methodology. In this article, I aim to contribute to the new wave of methodological innovation occurring in the agricultural development literature by providing a rationale for using visual Q methodology to empower marginalized populations in the Global South who often lack the communication skills to express their attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives.

     summary: For this reason, the purpose of the SWOT analysis in this study is to structure subjective opinions of extension agents to examine their roles in addressing educational programs with women in the rural sector of Guatemala. This shared experience fosters trust and motivates extension agents to help rural populations with dedication and compassion, especially in areas with limited support.

     summary: While agricultural educators in this study and Schmidt et al. (2022) report experiencing a moderate level of STS, Norris et al. (2024) determined that SBAE educators emotionally support students with ACEs regularly. Agricultural educators in New Mexico are uniquely positioned to support a large population of students with ACEs, especially since these unique students are drawn to agricultural education (Norris et al., 2024).

     summary: As teachers are the access point through which students engage with content, and to be efficient STEM illuminators, teachers must have equal levels of STEM content knowledge and awareness of technical agriculture (McKim et al., 2017). Teachers have also inaccurately perceived their level of STEM content knowledge (Hendrix et al., 2020; Scales et al., 2009).

     summary: Therefore, when exploring HT grower information seeking behavior, it is important to evaluate growers’ use of multiple information sources when searching for production and management information, including University Extension, crop consultants, and other growers (Edge et al., 2017; Stuart et al., 2018). Other information sources used by a few survey respondents included USDA NRCS (2 respondents), or information created by other sources and delivered through books (5 respondents), and magazines (4 respondents).

Retrospective pre-test post-test design, also known as the then-test design, provides the same frame of reference to measuring variables and controls the response shifting bias (Drennan & Hyde, 2008; Nielsen, 2011; Taminiau-Bloem et al., 2015).

Although international professional development experiences may provide benefits to teachers (e.g., Bruening et al., 2002; Oh & Nussli, 2014), little is known about these type of experiences on second stage teachers (i.e., years four-10) (Kirkpatrick, 2007).

     summary: This study used the stages of concern questionnaire to profile ten Midwest high school agriscience teachers’ concerns regarding implementation of IBL, before and after participation in a year-long professional development program where IBL lessons were developed and used in the participants’ high school classrooms. During the year-long PD, participants had the opportunity to 1) experience IBL from the student perspective, 2) teach a pre-developed IBL lesson for a specific science topic with other participants at the workshop, 3) return to their home schools and use IBL lessons as part of the curriculum in their actual classrooms with scheduled monthly online support meetings with workshop facilitators to answer questions about IBL, and 4) attend a follow-up in-person workshop session to teach an IBL lesson of their own design to the workshop participants for feedback.

     summary: Abstract The purpose of this study was to systematically identify key players and media channels within the turf industry to constitute the diffusion of innovations in emerging turf research and technologies. The identification of a list of opinion leaders or key players – those with influence in a community – is a clear concept that is difficult to manifest in a real-world, diffusion of innovation scenario.

        date: 2021
       words: 4694
      flesch: 38
     summary: Several studies have indicated that smallholder farmers disproportionately face agricultural constraints impeding their emergence from poverty. Talbot (1997) suggested smallholder farmers producing global commodity crops, such as the coffee producers in this study, confront an additional elevated risk of income loss caused by volatility of the international market.

       title: Empowering the caregiver network of farmers with a disability: A case study of the North Carolina AgrAbility project

      flesch: 40
     summary: To this point, Participant #1 explained, “a Bump N’ Drive gate that was provided by North Carolina AgrAbility was more for me than him because it allowed him to become more independent since he no longer had to rely on me for opening gates on the farm.” We also observed Participant #2 exhibiting more confidence after his son received a mechanical lift from North Carolina AgrAbility to help board his tractor, which reduced the stress of lifting his son for the aging caregiver.
