The research carried out in the project is presented in this book,
which contains three main parts and nine chapters. This PhD thesis
book is aimed at developing a competency profile for instructors in
the agricultural extension services in Esfahan, Iran. Selected
instructors are part-time subject matter specialists who cooperate
with the Ministry of Agriculture and teach short-term extension
courses in different disciplines to farmers. Previous research
revealed that the target group of the research generally experience
many problems in their role of instructor during extension courses
for farmers. This PhD project was then conducted to develop a
competency profile for this role in the next three to five years.
In doing that, a comprehensive review of the literature was carried
out, the competency models presented by McLagan (1982) were
selected and adjusted to the Iranian extension system, and were
tested for the role of instruction. To increase the reliability of
the model, different respondents were involved: participating and
non-participating farmers in extension courses, agricultural
experts, agricultural managers, and instructors.
