There is a need for further research in improving assessment design (Janesick, 2001). Too
often educational programs continue to use norm-referenced, multiple-choice exams as a way to evaluate student progress. Studies evaluating more authentic measures, such as rubrics,
portfolios, and essays, should be investigated, especially in the CTE field. Within agricultural
education, there are many resources available to assist in student evaluation. There are
Supervised Agricultural Experiences, which is a portfolio of student activity investigating a
career in agriculture; there are the leadership opportunities provided by the FFA, such as Career
Development Events; and there is the nature of the agriculture classroom and curriculum, which
incorporate many hands-on experiences, such as greenhouse management, small animal care, and
investigations in biotechnology, to name a few. Such factors unique to agricultural science
education need further research as to how they can contribute to an overall assessment and
evaluation of student performance.
