- Abstract
A logistic regression model was used to examine the impact of demographical characteristics of secondary agricultural education teachers in Northeast Texas on their small gasoline engines and welding competencies. Data were collected using a web-based questionnaire and employing a non-proportional stratified random sampling technique with 150 agricultural education teachers participating in the study. Findings showed that being male and having agricultural mechanical courses in both high school and college were positively associated with being competent in small gasoline engines. Being male was also positively associated with being competent in welding, while having only a Bachelor's degree (as compared to a Master's degree) was negatively associated with being competent in welding. Additional research should be conducted to understand better why these differences exist.
