Abstract
Education is one of the tools to increase the empowerment of women facilitators. For this reason, this study was conducted to investigate the educational factors affecting the empowerment of rural women facilitators in Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces. This research is field in terms of data collection and analysis and is causal in terms of possibility and ability to control variables. The period of this research was 2019 and the place of its implementation was Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces. The statistical population of the study is 850 rural women facilitators living in the two provinces (N = 850) and the sample size was 285 (n = 285) according to the Krejcie-Morgan table. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that they are underlying factors as one of the important contexts in increasing the empowerment of women facilitators such as officials' belief in the scientific abilities of rural women facilitators, positive attitude towards education and empowerment of rural women. According to the needs assessment and climatology of the target area of women facilitators and the existence of efficient educational organizations of rural facilitators and the causal situation and background conditions of education can explain up to 43% of the variability of capabilities of women facilitators of agricultural extension. In the meantime, the components of training methods and the background conditions of education have the most positive impact on promoting the empowerment of rural women facilitators.
