| description | This study concerns determining the factors that may influence
the communication skill of those university teachers involved
in the field of agricultural sciences in Iran. Accordingly, based on a
cross-sectional survey method, a conceptual model of communication
skill has been devised through reviewing the related literature.
Next, the model was revised by the expert panel of the study into a
seven-factor model with 58 variables. Then, this revised model
was transformed into a questionnaire. Once the expert panel
studied, revised and at last confirmed the questionnaire, it was submitted
to the subjects, around 234 university teachers of agricultural
sciences selected randomly from some main universities in Iran. In
order to run Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA), the obtained data
were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16.00). Consequently,
EFA explained three factors such as naturalness, eloquentness and
emotionalness as the main effective ones on teaching agriculture
in the universities of Iran. Finally, it is worth mentioning that naturalness
comprised six variables, eloquentness was consisted of
eight variables and emotionalness concerned three variables. |
