This proved to some studies, there is an effect of the difference between the upper and lower Egypt some aspects indicative, however, that as much as possible be confined to studies and opinions did not address the impact of this difference on the nature of the use of agricultural extension workers of teaching guidelines, which in turn depends on other factors such as how attention training staff guidance and interest in providing a wide variety of assistive devices to expand options for agricultural leader, as well as the impact of the sub-culture to the public to accept the types of assistive devices used by the leader and others. This was carried out this study in order to: determine the differences between the agricultural extension workers in both the Lower and Upper Egypt and related to each of: knowledge of rules for the use of assistive devices extension, and the degree of own use of aids for guidance and self-esteem of their performance in the use of assistive devices extension and to identify the differences between the availability of assistive devices indicative of both Upper and Lower Egypt from their point of view, as well as to identify constraints on the use of assistive devices indicative Gamoom Areas study from the viewpoint of agricultural extension workers.
Were randomized selection of samples to achieve the objectives of the study, the first of a comprehensive agricultural extension workers Qaliubiya governorates in Lower Egypt, Dakahliya a total of 120 agricultural guide, while the second sample amounted to 90 farming guide were selected randomly from a comprehensive agricultural extension workers governorates of Minya and Sohag in Upper Egypt. Data was collected through personal interview using a questionnaire previously tested during the months of September and October 1996, and was used to analyze the data statistically test "Z" and the arithmetic mean and percentages.
Despite what appeared generally of relatively low knowledge subjects relating to the rules guiding the use of assistive devices, and poor availability of extension aids (excluding some hearing aids and visual aids), the results showed the following:
- The presence of significant difference between each of the Upper and Lower Egypt in terms of: the mean scores of knowledge of agricultural extension workers rules guiding the use of assistive devices, and middle grades provides guidance aids, mean scores for the use of mentors guiding aids.
- There is no difference between the mean ratings of self-extension workers for their performance in guiding the use of assistive devices Areas of study.
- The main obstacles to the use of assistive devices extension from the viewpoint of agricultural extension workers are similar to a large extent in the regions of the study are: (1) constraints associated with Supreme Leader, Agriculture and was the most important: Do not get the guide adequate training, and lack of knowledge workers how to use assistive devices, (2) constraints associated with itself and was the most important: the absence of the necessary equipment for the use of assistive devices, and not the validity of appointments of existing work, (3) constraints related to the organization of extension was the most important: the lack of budgets for the purchase of assistive devices, and the lack of technicians needed to operate and maintain the agricultural departments.
