Further investigation is needed to determine the specific laboratory management needs of agricultural education teachers. The theoretical foundation which guided this study was Bandura's theory of self-efficacy (1997). To further align this theory with this study, researchers explored the beliefs and one's capabilities to organize and excute the course of action to manage an agricultural mechanics laboratory. The research objectives for this study were: Determine the self-perceived level(s) of importance and ability as related to agricultural mechanics laboratory management competencies and determine the professional development needs of Iowa school-based agricultural education teachers regarding agricultural mechanics laboratory management competencies. Results of the Mean Weighted Discrepancy Scores (MWDS) indicated teacher's greatest in-service needs revolved around hazardous laboratory conditions and materials. The competencies which ranked the highest included correcting hazardous laboratory conditions, safely disposing of hazardous materials, properly installing and maintaining safety devices and emergency equipment, safely handling hazardous materials, and safely storing hazardous materials. Agricultural education teachers need professional development in the realm of hazardous conditions within the confines of an agricultural mechanics laboratory and handling hazardous materials. Working with hazardous materials is a critical competency agricultural educators must have when managing any type of laboratory.

El profesor agropecuario en el ejercicio de su profesión, despliega múltiples acciones de su actividad profesional pedagógica en los diferentes contextos de actuación, lo cual exige de una adecuada actualización científico-técnica en la especialidad que enseña, a partir de su encargo social. Esta investigación responde a la necesidad de contribuir al mejoramiento de uno de los problemas actuales de este subsistema: la superación profesional técnica de los profesores agropecuarios de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. En el estudio exploratorio, se constataron debilidades en el proceso de superación profesional técnica que se desarrolla en los centros politécnicos de Pinar del Río y que repercuten en el tratamiento adecuado de esta problemática. La utilización de los métodos de investigación científica: teóricos, empíricos y estadístico-matemáticos, permitieron elaborar una concepción pedagógica fundamentada desde la Educación Avanzada, la Educación de Posgrado y la pedagogía de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. La misma abarca tres componentes que en su dinámica permiten concebir un proceso en correspondencia con las exigencias del subsistema y la agricultura cubana actual. La valoración por criterio de expertos de la concepción pedagógica, su implementación en la práctica educativa y los progresos constatados en los indicadores evaluados, garantizan la validez científica, teórica y práctica de la propuesta. Palabras Clave: superación profesional técnica, profesor agropecuario, educación técnica y profesional ABSTRACT   The agriculture teacher, in the daily activities of his profession, carries out multiple pedagogical actions in different contexts, which demand an appropriate scientific-technical upgrading in the specialty that he is teaching because of his social compromise.This research responds to the need of contributing to the improvement of one of problems in this sub-system:  the technical professional upgrading of agriculture teachers in Technical and Professional Education.  In the exploratory study, weaknesses were verified in the process of professional upgrading developed at polytechnic schools in Pinar Del Río, and that they affect the adequate treatment of the problem.  The utilization of scientific research methods :  theoretical, empirical, statistical-mathematical, made it possible to build up a pedagogical concept  with foundations in Advanced Education, Graduate Education and pedagogy of Technical and Professional Education.  These cover three components that allow the conception of a process in correspondence with the demands of the subsystem and the current Cuban agriculture.    Assessment, by expert criteria on pedagogical conception, its implementation on educational practice, and proven progress of the assessed indicators, guarantee the scientific, theoretical and practical validation of the proposal.   Keywords: technical professional upgrading, agriculture teacher, technical and professional education     Recibido: septiembre de 2015Aprobado: noviembre de 2015
