Abstract

The present study investigated the training needs of beet farmers in the province using Borich model and quadrant analysis. The study population consisted of beet farmers in Kermanshah province. Sampling was done using stratified random sampling and proportional assignment method. Using the Bartlett et al, table 254 beet farmers and 176 experts were selected as samples. Data collection tool was a questionnaire based on Borich model. Prioritizing the educational needs of these farmers from their point of view using the Borich model showed that two educational needs including identification, diagnosis and control of rhizotonia disease and rhizomania have the highest priority. According to the quadrant analysis, from the point of view of beet farmers and experts, all 29 educational subjects were recognized as educational needs. Comparison of the results of the two models showed that only two training needs( including identification, diagnosis and control of rhizotonia and rhizomania) in the first quarter Quadrant model were consistent with the top two priorities in the Borich need assessment model from the farmers' point of view. Given the inconsistency of the results of the two models,It can be concluded that extension experts and farmers dont have the same vision of educational needs.
