| The purpose of the split-plot factorial quasi-experiment was to examine the academic learning outcomes of Oklahoma FFA Alumni Leadership Camp and to describe how learning styles, attitudes, and other personal characteristics affect the learning outcomes and knowledge retention exhibited by camp attendees. The repeated-measures study employed a pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest to measure cognitive gain and retention. The study was conducted in response to a need for information and understanding of camper experiences by Oklahoma FFA Alumni Camp planners. It was concluded that FFA Alumni Leadership Camp attendees' learning styles varied. Campers nearly doubled their score when comparing pretest and posttest results. It was further concluded that learning style did not affect the amount of information campers' learned or retained from the camp experience. Recommendations were formulated in response to the findings and conclusions of the study. |
