Abstract

This study was conducted to learn the attitudes of students, who were engaged at Al-Abbasi Agricultural Secondary School, towards agricultural work, and to find out the relationship between this attitude and the characteristics of the students. The study population comprised all students in the agricultural department at Al-Hawija Agricultural Secondary School, including 192 male and female students. A 40% sample of the total population was randomly chosen; 77 respondents were retrieved. Two questionnaires were developed for data collection. The first part covered the personal characteristics of respondents such as the respondents’ gender, their primary family income, type of land tenure, participation in agricultural work, and exposure to communication sources. The second portion included 20 statements to gauge students’ attitudes towards agricultural work. To reach the objectives of the study, several statistical methods were used such as range, arithmetic mean, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The outcomes indicated that the attitudes of Al-Hawija Agricultural Secondary School students to agricultural work were positive and tending toward neutral. Results showed that there was a significant correlation between students’ attitudes towards agricultural work and most of the factors that were studied. To formulate students’ perspectives on agricultural work to contribute to its role as a significant sector of employment for rural youth, and to make the practical component of agricultural secondary school curricula more prominent, the researcher suggested that the agricultural sector in the study area receives governmental help. In the agricultural school context, the researcher believes the state should give the top agricultural secondary school graduates agricultural land plots, provide the necessary production requirements, and the focus should be on the practical dimension of agricultural secondary school student agricultural training to prepare them to enhance their skills in carrying out agricultural operations in the field.
