Popis: This study focused on determining the influence of SAEP on knowledge gain in secondary school agricultural education among Form Three students in Migori County, Kenya. It zeroed on analysing the differences in knowledge gained in agriculture between two groups, one taking part in SAEP and the other not taking part. It utilised quasi-experimental design, particularly the pre-test and post-test none-equivalent control group design incorporating a sample of 384 forms three agriculture students in Migori County. A test for measuring learning outcomes was used to collect data before and after the programme. Analysis of data was done using SPSS (Version 22). Descriptive statistics were used to present and describe data while inferential statistics were used test hypotheses at α = 0.05. The study established that there was a statistically significant difference in the acquisition of knowledge of specific agriculture content between secondary school agriculture students exposed to SAEP as opposed to the control group.
