Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Post-graduate student research is fundamental for the growth of a young discipline such as Agricultural Education. In Eswatini, there is no study conducted on methodologies used in post-graduate agricultural education students’ research. This study sought to describe research methodologies used in masters’ degree students in Agricultural Education at the University of Eswatini (UNESWA). The study was a desk research on agricultural education masters’ degree theses completed from 1996 to 2017. The results of the study revealed that agricultural education research was positivistic, quantitative, basic and descriptive in nature and analysed mainly using descriptive statistics. It was recommended that there is a need for agricultural education students to conduct research that are explanatory, analytical and evaluative.
