Van ShelhamerThis study determined the perception 1994-95 Montana high school, senior, female FFA members have toward selected barriers to participation in agricultural mechanics activities. Data for this study were gathered through the use of a mailed questionnaire. Information received from the survey was statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Based on the results of this study, a majority of students perceived their agriculture instructor and family as being supportive of their studying agricultural mechanics. Students who did not study any curricula in agricultural mechanics perceived little support from family, friends, agriculture instructors, or school counselors. Although a majority of students had studied some agricultural mechanics curricula, involvement outside the classroom was less frequent. In addition, many students felt their parents worked in agricultural mechanics careers and had been encouraged by both parents to help with mechanics jobs at home. Students believed they would not enjoy a traditional female career and had positive perceptions of their ability to learn and perform agricultural mechanics skills, but did not perceive agricultural mechanics as a potential career. Finally, nearly half of the students had been verbally teased by male students during agricultural mechanics activities.Item An examination of pollution awareness and prevention in Montana secondary agricultural education programs(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2007) Meyer, Ben Anton; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Martin J. Frick.The purpose of this study was to ascertain the levels of pollutants found in Montana's secondary agricultural education programs as well as the status of pollution prevention education that was being taught. The study was guided by three questions; what were the levels of pollutants that exited in Montana secondary agricultural education programs, what was the level of pollution prevention education that was taught in Montana secondary agricultural education programs, and what were the existing barriers to implementing pollution prevention in Montana secondary agricultural education programs? A written survey was conducted with Montana's 84 secondary agricultural educators. The survey focused on seven content areas; demographics, engines/automotive laboratories, metals/welding laboratories, greenhouse laboratories, woods/construction laboratories, agronomy laboratories, and animal husbandry laboratories. The data was analyzed to provide an overview of Montana's pollution prevention and waste management status in agricultural education. Of the 84 agricultural educators surveyed, a total of 68 useable surveys were returned for a response rate of 80.1%. The results of this study provided new evidence about the state of pollution prevention and waste management practices in Montana's secondary agricultural education programs.
