Abstract

Vocational agricultural training in the rehabilitation programs of prison inmates has not been of good quality and effectiveness in the conventional training methods, while collaborative training and team activity increases motivation and deepens learning. Therefore, this s tudy was conducted with the aim of applying team agricultural vocational training using the model of team member teaching design (TMTD) in Arak prison. This research is applied and causal-communicative and semi-experimental, which uses a pre-tes t-pos t-tes t research design with a control group. The data collection tool was a researcher-made ques tionnaire, the validity of which was confirmed by examining the opinions of experts in agricultural education and vocational training, and its reliability was confirmed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α = 0.92). The s tatis tical population was all the inmates in the prison of Arak city, Markazi province. Two agricultural vocational training courses (saffron planting, growing and harves ting training and honey bee breeding training) for 108 people in 2023 in order to compare traditional training methods and team members teaching design (TMTD) was determined. The results indicated that in the groups under comparison, the effect of the Team Member Teaching Design (TMTD) method on the professional development of prisoners was significant. The results of the mean comparison tes ts also revealed a significant difference between the conventional and team-teaching methods regarding the motivation of prisoners to participate in training courses in both saffron cultivation and beekeeping programs. This research discusses the use of team-based training in agricultural education programs within prisons and its effects on the motivation and participation of prisoners in training courses, as well as their professional advancement in agricultural education. It also provides a pathway for the effective utilization of innovative collaborative and team-based teaching methods in agricultural education classes
