This study explored the application of Narver & Slater's Market-Driven orientation scales on development of the extension, training and educational programs for rural women in the Kurdistan Province. This study used the Narver & Slater market orientated scale as a theoretical framework of the research and the casual-correlation research method was used as a research method. The statistical population of this study was agricultural agent who worked in both government and non-government organizations in the Kurdistan Province (N=504). Based on Cochran formula, a sample of 216 was selected for the study. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire. Considering the 15% probability of non-response, the researcher distributed 248 questionnaires in the statistical population by stratified proportional sampling. The validity of the questionnaire was reviewed and confirmed by a group of experts and theta reliability coefficient (81/0-0/88) was used to determine the reliability of different parts of questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to determine scales influencing the development of market based educational extension program by AMOS24. The results showed that three market-oriented variables and innovation had direct and positive effects on development of market based educational extension program.. Therefore, it can be said that in order to achieve market-driven research goals, attention to innovation and market-oriented components of Extension training and education programs should be given serious attention.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors effective on staff participation of Tehran green space research, Education and consulting centers in urban green space development. The statistical population of this study consisted of 266 employees of 92 green space research, education and counseling centers in 22 districts of Tehran municipality. Based on the Cochran formula, the sample size of 157 persons concluded. The data collection tool was a questionnaire where the validity confirmed by the viewpoints of the university staffs and its reliability confirmed by a pre-test and ordinal theta coefficient (0.86). Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that, among the structural indicators of the process of evaluating the performance of goals, attempting to solve problems in the performance of goals with the agreement of employees, the structure of employees' performance impairment, failure to retake the center of the goals were not met, organizational support structural indicators.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the educational components affecting the entrepreneurial abilities of students in applied agricultural science education. A survey was carried out using a questionnaire. The statistical population of this research is the number of 3485 students who study in agricultural fields of applied sciences centers of agricultural Jihad. For data collection, a proportional allocation method was used. Using the Cochran formula, the research volume (n = 190) was determined. Validity of the research tool was confirmed by a number of experts from the Institute of Applied Higher Education, Agricultural Jihad and faculty members of Agriculture and Education.
