摘要

Forty-eight students currently enrolled at North Central Texas College were asked about factors influencing their decision to enroll in summer school agriculture courses. Identifying significant factors may help educators improve the scheduling and feasibility of summer school courses for both their institutions and students. This study investigated students' levels of interest in agriculture courses during summer school, preferred subject area(s), and delivery format. The results showed that commonfactors influencing students' choices to attend summer school have changed very little over the past few decades. This study also found that a large percentage of students who had never enrolled in summer school courses were interested in such courses tosatisfy one of three current educational goals: associate's degree, core curriculum basics for university transfer, or technical certificate. Additional analyses revealed that many students who were not interested in agriculture summer courses had neverenrolled in any non-agriculture summer school courses. Students indicated animal science and equine science as the most preferred subject areas and Monday through Thursday for five consecutive weeks as the most preferred delivery format. Community college educators and administrators should continue investigating students' preferences for summer school agriculture courses and use the findings from this study to evaluate their current course offerings for summer school.
