Career Development Events

In recent years, many horticulture departments around the United States have been concerned with recruiting and retaining an adequate number of students. One potential recruitment opportunity is the horticulture Future Farmers of America (FFA) Career Development Events (CDEs). For the time period of 1999 to 2012 (14 years), 1462 students participated in the annual state-level horticulture contests, comprising floriculture and nursery/landscape CDEs, held at Kansas State University (KSU). Using the rosters from these two CDEs, we referenced the university’s student information database to determine whether the high school students who participated as FFA horticulture CDE contestants ultimately matriculated to KSU. Fifty-two percent of former FFA horticulture CDE participants were accepted to KSU and 32% matriculated. Of these, 58% enrolled in the College of Agriculture and 19% majored in horticulture. Therefore, 3.5% of total horticulture CDE participants majored in horticulture at KSU. Students who participated in more than one horticulture CDE over time were more likely to major in horticulture at KSU compared with students who competed only once. Thirty-nine percent of students who participated in both horticulture CDEs pursued a baccalaureate program in horticulture. These two student characteristics could be used as indicator data points to target recruitment of future horticulture students. Data about the high school programs that generated contest participants were also summarized. Exceling in the CDE contests was not an indicator CDE participants would pursue a baccalaureate degree in horticulture. These analyses suggest FFA CDEs have some potential to optimize student recruitment efforts.

Facility Manager

Arizona State University has been involved in identifying the future Facility Manager (FM) paradigm which results in a sustainable FM profession. The $16M, 20-year international research program has identified, created and tested out a solution to the almost impossible task of replacing the aging FM professionals. The research has identified the future FM as one who is leadership based and leads the entire supply chain from inside the organization. This paper will cover the three year results of finding the future FM by accessing the top 10% of ASU’s 85,000 students through Barrett’s Honors Program, 7th – 10th graders through the Barrett’s Summer Honors Program, and culminating this year in placing the education in one of the top private schools in the state of Hawaii for high school students, testing the approach on 116 Brazilian engineering undergraduate students and getting approval for testing a 14 week program in the Tempe High School. The model is proposed as a prototype for future FM professionals and how the FM professional can become sustainable.

A partnership between the Morehead State University Art Education Program and the Lake County Alternative School (LCAS) (pseudonyms are used for the school name and county where the school is located) was established in Fall 2011. This ongoing collaboration provides opportunities for Art Education students to teach art and work with at-risk middle and high school students. It also allows LCAS students, who otherwise have no coursework in art, the opportunity to work creatively with visual art media. In addition, Art Education students work toward meeting the Kentucky State Teacher Education field experience hour requirement of 200 contact hours in schools prior to clinical practice. LCAS students apply this art experience toward earning humanities credit.

The National Science Foundation Young Scholar Program “The Excitement of Meteorology!” successfully brought the atmospheric and related sciences to high school students in Mississippi. The four-week summer program was administered through the Jackson State University Meteorology Program in the Department of Physics, Atmospheric Sciences, and General Science and was supported by the Mississippi Science Partnership program office. This commuter program provided an opportunity to learn, study, and research the field of meteorology. Through instructional sessions, laboratories, field trips, and peer contact participants were exposed to the concepts of atmospheric motion, the development of storms, and the practical application of meteorology during a one-month period. The program was intended to help students make their own career decisions and to foster their interest in the sciences and meteorology. The goals and objectives of the program were to develop basic science skills; make participants aware of the interdisciplinary nature of meteorology; provide participants with the opportunity to see and hear the meteorologist as a researcher, teacher, and communicator; provide the information and incentive necessary for participants to choose a career in meteorology or the sciences; make participants aware of the various employment opportunities in the field; and show the moral and ethical responsibilities and importance of atmospheric science to society. Thirty sophomore and junior high school student participants (22 females and 8 males, nearly all of whom were African–American) completed the program. All were tested on their meteorological knowledge and skills gained during the program and questioned about their field and lecture experiences. They also “graded” the effectiveness of all speakers, presentations, videotapes, and laboratory sessions. Through surveys it was found that the participants' desire to pursue a science career and to go to college were increased by the program. They also indicated that the program objectives had been met and that the program had met their expectations. They were particularly pleased with the opportunity to work in a college setting and with professional scientists.

The Impact

This study examines the impact of a residential horticultural career academy, Camp Tomorrow’s Undergraduates Realizing the Future (TURF), conducted from 2010 to 2016 at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, OK. Each year, up to 25 Oklahoma high school students were engaged in 2 weeks of hands-on activities representing a variety of horticulture-related careers. Instructors for Camp TURF included OSU faculty, staff, and graduate students from the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, related OSU departments, and horticulture and landscape architecture industry professionals. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education sponsored this career academy, which was geared toward potential first-generation college students, and helped to expose students to the university atmosphere as well as expand their knowledge of science- and math-related career fields. Pre- and postassessments given at Camp TURF show significant changes in college readiness and familiarity with horticulture careers, but did not necessarily increase interest in particular horticulture and landscape architecture careers. Upon following up with academy graduates, we learned that the academy has been a positive experience for numerous attendees, with 76.6% going on to higher education and two students majoring in horticulture and landscape architecture-related areas.

Senior High School Students

Any individual who transitions through different stages of life inevitably experience stress, especially adolescents who undergo physiological and psychological changes. This is the stage where they have to make relevant decisions including the academic courses they have to take for their future career. The overwhelming expectations that they are experiencing from their family, teachers and society to excel academically have been shown to cause distress among adolescents. It is, therefore, becomes imperative to study possible protective factors to formulate efficient intervention techniques.  Two of the most studied constructs that have been linked to academic success are internal locus of control and grit. However, limited research has been conducted to investigate these two constructs with academic stress, especially among Filipino adolescents. The current study explored the roles of internal locus of control and grit in managing academic stress. A sample of 165 senior high school students from Southern Luzon State University-Main Campus was involved in this study. Results showed that both grit and internal locus of control are negatively correlated with academic stress. It was also shown that grit is positively associated with an internal locus of control although one is not a predictor of another.

Gender Specific

The study was conducted as part of the monitoring of giftedness, organized by the City Resource Centre of Giftedness, Moscow State University of Psychology & Education, in 2012. One of the objectives of the study was the identification of gender-specific intelligence in high school students at different grade levels. The sample size was 2023 students of VI-X grades from 24 schools in Moscow, including 990 boys and 1033 girls. Intelligence was measured using Raven's "Standard Progressive Matrices Plus". It is shown that in VI-VIII grades, the percent of girls with "intelligence is clearly above average" is more, and with the "intelligence is clearly below average" is less than of boys, and the proportions of students of both sexes with average intelligence at this stage of training are almost identical. In IX and X grades, the differences in proportions were found. In general, girls also show significantly higher rates for subscales B, C and D and the total scale of the test than boys, and no differences were revealed in the subscales A and E. The tendency was shown of decreasing the differences with age: girls performed better on scales A and B in VI-IX grades (p < 0,01 and p < 0,05), on the scale of C and D in the VI-VII grades (p < 0,001 and p < 0,05). In grade X, no gender differences were shown. We statistically confirmed the trend of rising intelligence with age in both boys and girls. The consideration of these features is required in the school teacher working with the high school students.
