Results revealed that, there were six administrative practicized functions within the extension work. They are : the directing. (66.8%), the controlling, the planning, the organizing, the formatting, and the coordinating functions respectively. It was also found that, there were five components for the "directing" function. The first of them was; the availability of direct and indirect adminis¬trative communication means. (76.4%). Results indicated also the presence of six components for the " controlling" function of mana¬gement. Reports and records were the first of them (98%). Moreover, there were seven components for each of; planning and coordinating functions. While only six components were found for each of ; orga¬nizing and formation functions.
Significant positive correlations were found between the degree of administrative awareness as a dependant variable and each of; education (0.279), Occupational experience (0.208), and the degree of training exposure (0.402) as independent variables. Also significant positive correlations were found between the degree of Exte¬nsion activity as a dependant variable and each of ; Extension occupational experience ( 0.390), the degree at communication, and the coordinative cooperation (0.267) as independants variables.
