Abstract	This study investigated the attitudes and understanding of participants and nonparticipants toward a program to improve the quality of instruction by Ohio Cooperative Extension Service personnel. Using a questionnaire and rating scales, data were obtained on personal background, teaching methods and techniques, and educational aids and practices, as related to attitudes and cognitive learning. These were some of the conclusions: (1) the workshops had enabled participants to use a greater number of approved teaching methods and educational practices than nonparticipants and to use educational practices more effectively; (2) participants perceived the value of the workshops more favorably than nonparticipants; (3) respondents aged 30-49 had higher cognitive knowledge scores than older or younger groups; (4) respondents' experience in the Cooperative Extension Service did not affect attitudes or cognitive knowledge scores; (5) neither formal education nor position in the organization affected attitudes toward the workshops; (6) higher position respondents had higher knowledge scores than lower position respondents; (7) over half the respondents were using more than half the approved methods and procedures.
