An observation guide allowed checking several topics every five minutes and a questionnaire was used to determine the opinions of effective use of time. Results indicate that agents use a higher percentage of their time in the office and less time in the form and homes of the farmers. Time consumed in non-educational activities (64%) is higher in relation to time spent in educational activities (36%). In regard to effective use of time, the informants consider that the agents should employ their time in the farms, offices, and homes of the farmers; leaders and rural youth; and that more time should be spent on agricultural activities than in other activity. Other topics are discussed and recommendations are made3 páginasapplication/pdfAgente de extensión||advisory officers||extensionista||conseiller agricoleDistribución del trabajo||labour allocation||distribuição do trabalho||répartition du travailExtensión agrícola||agricultural extension||extensão agrícola||vulgarisation agricoleAgente||agents||undefined||agentsServicio de extensión||advisory services||serviço de aconselhamento||service de vulgarisationPatrón de uso del tiempo||time use patterns||undefined||modèle d'emploi du tempsOrganización del trabajo||work organization||organização do trabalho||organisation du travailVenezuela (República Bolivariana de)||Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)||Venezuela||Venezuela (République bolivarienne du)Sede CentralArtículo
