| dc.description.abstract | A research study was conducted to explore the potentiality of Programmed Instruction (PI) as an extension method in comparison with lecture method to teach extension functionaries on new agricultural technology. The effectiveness was measured considering extent of learning in different sub-domains of cognitive and affective domains. The PI material was developed on the subject, impact of climate change, mitigation and adaptation strategies in agriculture. Appropriate scales to measure cognitive and affective domains were developed and used. The study was conducted using Solomon four group experimental design. The respondents were 240 extension functionaries of the Karnataka State Department of Agriculture. The results revealed that, the mean effectiveness scores of PI in respect of cognitive domain was 45.17 with a range of 37.17 to 52.33 in different sub-domains. Similarly, the mean effectiveness scores of affective domain were 41.36 with a range of 35.33 to 51.00 in different sub-domains. The mean effectiveness score in lecture method for cognitive domain was 32.83 with a range from 25.67 to 37.17 in different sub-domains. For affective domain, it was 35.43 with a range from 29.60 to 42.13, indicating PI was more effective than the lecture. Thirteen independent variables namely, educational level, job involvement, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, achievement motivation, leadership abilities, contacts with research system, climate change orientation, exposure to print media, exposure to electronic media, agricultural articles reading habit, participation in capacity building activities and time spent in field extension work by the extension functionaries were positively and significantly related to the effectiveness of PI. | en_US |
