Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to identify factors limiting student participation in supervised occupational experience (SOE) programs in Nebraska, as perceived by Nebraska vocational agriculture instructors. Specific objectives included:

1. Identify SOE-related characteristics of Nebraska vocational agriculture instructors.
2. Determine the Importance of selected school district, vocational agriculture, economic, student, and social factors in limiting student participation in SOE.
3. Determine differences among factors limiting student participation in SOE by length of contract, number of SOE on-site instructional visits per year, hours employed, in addition to vocational agriculture duties and years of teaching experience.
