Factors Associated with Enrollment in Agricultural Science and Membership in the FFA in Texas

چکیده
Beginning with A Nation at Risk in 1983, numerous reports were issued throughout the 1980s calling for educational reform in the United States. These reports resulted in sweeping educational reforms enacted by state legislatures nationwide. In Texas, significant educational changes were initiated in 1984 by House Bill 72. One of the outcomes of this bill was major reform in secondary agricultural education. In 1988, the traditional program of Vo-Ag I, II, III, and IV was phased out and replaced with twentythree, semester-length courses. These courses were designed to reflect a diversified and changing agricultural industry. In addition to the course changes, requirements for Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs (SAEP) were changed.
