Data Collection Techniques The distribution and collection of completed data was done by the researchers by twenty four Graduate Students of Agricultural and Chemistry Education of the College of Agricultural and Science Education, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria. Four graduate Students were assigned to each of the five North Central States and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, after a comprehensive two weeks training and orientation. Ninety seven per cent of the instrument was recovered and analyzed. Data Analysis Technique Data analysis was accomplished Computer Software Package (): percentages, mean, analysis of variance (F-ratio) and Spearman’s Rank Order correlation Coefficient (rs). The mean response was based on five-point weighted / Likert-type scales namely: Very Strongly Agree 5, Strongly Agree 4, Agree 3, Disagree 2 and Strongly – – – – Disagree 1. Accepted response of 3.50 mean of mean score and above was adopted on – the basis of Tackman (1972) and Awotunde and Ugodulunwa (2004) concepts of scaled items. Statistical tests were carried out at 0.05 level of significance (P).
