Abstract
This paper proposes a technique called the Visualization System using Positive Reinforcement Theory (VSPR) to develop problem-solving skills and self-esteem in young college-educated farmers. The research comprised four major steps (1) interviews with 10 faculty members from university Agricultural departments to identify current problems in the classroom, as well as 432 undergraduate students from Agricultural departments in order to generate opinions, suggestions and requirements with regard to development of VSPR software, (2) development of VSRP prototype software, (3) testing VSRP prototype software with undergraduate students from university Agricultural departments, and (4) interviews with experts in order to solicit opinions and suggestions about VSPR and the prototype software. The resulting VSPR prototype software consists of four elements: (1) system structure, (2) content, (3) visualization technique, and (4) evaluation, as well as four steps: (1) suggestions, (2) presentation of problem scenario, (3) problem-solving activities and (4) summary. The t-test results of the VSPR prototype software showed significant improvement with regard to problem-solving skills and self-esteem in undergraduate students from university Agricultural departments at 0.01 and 0.01 consecutively.
