Abstract:
What is the desirability of in-service training programs in agricultural economics instruction? To what extent do they contribute to a worthwhile learning experience that prepares students to work effectively in agribusiness firms and agencies? Or, is there something inherent in the very nature of in-service training programs that tends to make them sub-standard as a teaching technique? Questions such as these have concerned the authors. Concern is based partially upon personal experiences with such programs and in part by views expressed by others in the field.
