Improvement of the instructional process is an "in" phrase in today's colleges and universities. Students, administrators, alumni, and others are emphasizing the need to improve the quality of instruction in our instit utions. Schools of agriculture are not spared from these expressed needs to improve the quality of their instruction. Gardner I in 1971, addressing a symposium on instruction held by the North Central Region Colleges of Agriculture stated, " ... all of us here (faculty) are concerned about the caliber of instruction , and even more important, about the amount of learning that takes place in our colleges." Students also are expressing their feelings concerning poorly organized and ineffectively presented COurses. This paper is written to provide insight into one idea (the instructional model) which can improve the quality of instruction in colleges of agriculture and is referred to as PerformallceBased-Instruction.
