Abstract:
As the National FFA Organization continues to grow in membership, the quality of Career Development Events becomes critical. This study uses Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and frequency measures to evaluate the event quality in the Farm Business Management competition. Poor quality questions use in the competition are identified based on frequency distribution and r values. These questions possess flaws and need to be reviewed or eliminated to improve test quality. This will increase the level of fairness and difficulty of FFA events in the future. However, the ultimate beneficiaries are the students, who will gain the most from improvements.
