Abstract

This article examines the crucial role of metrological education in the technical training of professionals in the agricultural sector, highlighting the need for precise and accurate measurements to improve resource management and promote productivity and efficiency. For the development of the research, a theoretical review was conducted on the fundamental concepts related to the issue at hand. Based on this review, a focus group with 8 experts was formed to validate a questionnaire created by the authors. The questionnaire was administered to 20 teachers who teach metrology-related content in agricultural technical training. Additionally, a diagnostic test consisting of five questions was conducted with 132 students to gain a detailed and precise perspective on the current level of understanding of metrology.
