Assessing the Effectiveness of a Leadership Requirement for Agronomy Majors Sherry Pogranichniy and Lance Gibson Introduction The Agronomy Department at Iowa State University adopted a leadership requirement for undergraduate agronomy majors based on the department’s desired learner outcomes in Students meet the requirement by either serving in a leadership role or taking a leadership course. Academic advisers determine whether or not a leadership role meets the requirement. Methods To begin to determine the effectiveness of the leadership requirement, seniors were surveyed during four semesters in Undergraduate advisers were also surveyed about their perceptions of the effectiveness of the requirement. Students and advisers were asked eleven items on a 5- point, Likert-type scale (1=Strongly Agree to 5=Strongly Disagree) that when combined describe the perceived effectiveness of the leadership requirement (Cronbach’s alpha =.9282). Additional survey questions asked about the students leadership skills before entering the program, and about whether students would have been involved in leadership activities without the requirement. Demographic data were also collected. In addition to answering questions about the effectiveness of the requirement, students also were asked to provide information about the leadership role or course they used to meet the requirement. A panel of judges made up of undergraduate advisers then rated the quality of the leadership experiences reported by the students. Results Overall effectiveness of leadership experience requirement. nmeanSDPercent in Agreement Students Advisers ISU Agronomy students have strong leadership skills before entering the Agronomy program at ISU. nmeanSDPercent in Agreement Students Advisers Agronomy students have strong leadership skills after completing the leadership experience requirement. nmeanSDPercent in Agreement Students Advisers Agronomy students would have been involved with leadership activities even if they were not required for the Agronomy major. nmeanSDPercent in Agreement Students Advisers Scale: 1=Strongly Agree to 5=Strongly Disagree Results, cont.

They also differed on whether or not students would be involved with leadership activities if they were not required in the agronomy major. According to the advisers, the quality of students’ leadership activities varied greatly. The highest quality experiences were officer or committee chair positions in university clubs, leadership positions in sports teams, and leadership positions in the Agronomy or Soil and Water Conservation clubs. The lowest quality leadership experiences, according to advisers, included club membership with no leadership position and taking a class. In response to a question on the adviser survey, 62.5% indicated that the current process for documenting the completion of the leadership experience requirement is not adequate. Of the advisers surveyed, 75% thought the department should explore options other than the requirement as a means of incorporating leadership into the agronomy curriculum.
