The purpose of this study was to evaluate the competency levels of rural extension workers in Korea. A survey questionnaire was developed using a Competency Model by Dr. Kim(2006), and a self-test was conducted for all of the extension workers in Korea. Based on the findings of this study, the major conclusions were as follows. First, the competency levels of rural extension workers in Korea were not so high for their development goal. The organizational and personal efforts were urgently made for dramatically raising the present competency level Second, the higher the age and the working period were, the lower their competency index were. It shows that the organizational support is needed for systematically developing the expertise of rural extension workers after being employed as new rural extension workers. Third, the main competencies that should be first strengthened through competency assessment were several competencies in foundational competency cluster and a subject-matter expertise in technical competency cluster. Various forms of strategies for developing these competencies should be sought because the only formal training is not enough to effectively develop these competencies. To practically utilize the result of this study, the following measures should be taken. First, a competency-based curriculum by position level for rural extension workers was developed and implemented. In addition, career development systems for rural extension workers were set up and carried out, and the efforts to develop and apply the various approaches for their insufficient competencies should be made.
