摘要：The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes and beliefs of school-based agriculture education (SBAE) students toward international agricultural concepts.This study builds on severalprevious studies(Conner, Greer, & Stripling, 2017; Elliot & Yanik, 2002; Heinert, Lavery, & Roberts, 2014; Radhakrishna, Leite, &Domer, 2003). To explore new geographic regions of the United States, two states, one from the Midwest and one from the Northwest,were purposively identified.A 46-item instrumentthat measures attitudes, beliefs, understanding,and instruction in relation to international agriculturedeveloped by Radhakrishna et al. (2003) wasadministered to students in three schools representing both rural and urban areas.A total of 133 surveyswere returned, fora 55.2% responserate.Overall, students held positive attitudesand beliefstoward international agricultural concepts.Students expressed a need to understand basic geography in relationto international agricultural concepts, and students strongly agreed to conceptsand information necessary to understand international agricultural concepts.When historical data weresynthesized with data from this study, mean scoresfrom all five studiesacross all four constructs were consistentlyhigh.Future research should focus on how students develop their attitudes and beliefs about international agriculture.
