| Abstract | A study was conducted to determine what competencies Extension employees working in urban areas of Ohio perceived as most necessary. Information on the demographic characteristics of urban Extension employees in the state was also gathered. Data were obtained via a two-part questionnaire mailed to the 46 Extension employees working in the urban areas of the state; response was 100 percent. The study found that Extension employees perceived that competency in organizational skills was the highest priority, with competency in communication skills a close second. Competency in research and evaluation received the lowest priority rating. Program planning and development was the highest ranked subcategory, while effective thinking, program execution, and public relations were the lowest ranked subcategories. No very high or substantial correlations were found between the competency categories, subcategories, and the demographic characteristics of the Extension employees. The study recommended that the curriculum in agricultural education at Ohio State University should take into consideration the career plans of future Extension employees who may work in an urban environment and that organization skills and urban planning and development competencies should be taught in classes. The study also recommended that Extension's program developers and policymakers should consider these findings when developing urban programs and policies. (KC) |
