ABSTRACTS
The study analysed students’ agricultural research
projects presented for the award of degrees in the department of rural sociology
and extension, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (2000-2015).
The study identified all the students’ research projects carried out in the
Department from 2000- 2015; examined the gender segregation of the project
authors and analyzed research topics by areas of specialization in Extension
and Rural Sociology. The population of the study was drawn from all the B.
Agric, PGD, M.Sc. and Ph.D works in the Departmental library from 2000 – 2015.
Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and
percentages. The major results showed that 59.5%, 61.1%, 57.8% and 67.39% of the
B.Agric, PGD, M.Sc. and Ph.D students respectively were carried out by male.
The result revealed that 34.5% of the research carried out by B.Agric the
students were on gender. A large proportion (66.7%) of the PGD students’
research on crop related research topics, 35.6% of the MSc. students researched
on crop related, and a large proportion (68%) of the respondents researched on
rural development topics. The study concluded that the Department has graduated more male students
than female students and that the students majored more on rural development,
crop, gender, extension service, ICT and agricultural communication related
topics. The study recommended that more students should be admitted into the
department especially female students as this will enhance wider coverage in
research and equally enable gender balance among the future extension agents.
