| Abstract/Contents: | "This study examined how different presentation formats affected knowledge gain among school grounds managers. Results indicate large-group participants (presentation to ≅50 participants at a turfgrass field day) had greater knowledge retention than small-group participants (presentation to 6-10 participants at an interactive workshop). Small-group attendees had more flexibility to discuss issues that affected them directly and may have focused on those issues instead of the targeted information. Large-group meetings were more ridged in format and attendees were less able to deviate from the main subject matter being presented. However, the value of the small-group meeting should not be discounted, especially when athletic field grounds managers and staff require information specific to their situation. When disseminating more general information, the large-group meeting format is a better means of delivery." |
