Scope of NACTA Journal Articles
The NACTA Journal is directed toward the scholarship of teaching and learning and the professional advancement of the teacher of agriculture and related disciplines. The Journal presents papers on all aspects of teaching, including methods, problems, philosophy and rewards. Its primary purpose is to strengthen professional competence in college and adult teaching.
The NACTA Journal invites contributions from faculty in agriculture and related disciplines. Contributions should deal principally with: the teachers' role as an educator and communicator; skills, techniques, philosophy and methods useful in such roles and aspects of teacher-learning environment management, leadership, supervision, and administration essential to the effective performance of such roles. Manuscripts are based essentially on research in teaching, on creative thought, such as theoretical models, and on case studies in which an experience is examined through a theoretical framework and the implications for application are fully explored
