This textbook is written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Extension Education at Home Science Colleges. It shall serve as a reference book for Extension students of Agriculture, Veterinary, Forestry, Fisheries and Basic Science at Universities, Colleges and Institutes. It shall as well serve as a handbook for Government Departments, Non-Government Organizations, Rural Banks and Cooperatives, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, etc. to support them in extension work. The meaning, process and evolution of extension and extension systems from India’s pre independence era to the present era are described in this book as well as the different extension teaching methods and teaching aids used while extending information at villages. The book also comprehends the relationship between Home Science education and extension systems familiarizing with the structural and functional concepts of rural society. The concept, use, importance and limitations of each of the extension teaching methods are important to know for extension workers so that they can use them efficiently. However, these course contents are primarily meant for the use of student communities, teaching and research fraternities of Home Science, Agricultural and allied Sciences all over the globe in general and India in particular.
This edited book on Research Methodology is tailored for postgraduate studies in Social and Behavioral Sciences, designed to benefit research scholars across universities, colleges, and research institutes in related disciplines. Emphasizing the value of formative assessment, we view it as a pivotal tool to aid and empower students in their learning journeys. In fields like sociology, political science, library science, home science, education, and management, research methods and procedures exhibit notable similarities, particularly in areas involving researcher-led interviews with people. Agricultural extension research methods represent a significant non-formal educational system globally, focused on transferring knowledge and research outcomes to farmers, alongside potential services for farm families, rural youth, and the development of rural community resources. The perspective on agricultural development has evolved significantly, coinciding with reduced governmental involvement in many societies and the increased roles of private enterprise and non-governmental organizations. Economic liberalization has opened new doors for farmers but has also heightened competition, making it challenging to predict future trends and provide definitive guidance to farmers. Addressing agricultural and rural development challenges in developing countries necessitates a sufficient number of well-trained and skilled professionals. Effective problem-solving for farmers relies on extension workers and agricultural graduates possessing broad knowledge of extension teaching methods and technologies. This book consolidates comprehensive information on research methods in extension education to support practitioners in the field.
This book is designed to introduce doctoral and graduate students to the process of conducting scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. It is a one-stop, comprehensive, and compact source for foundational concepts in behavioral research, and can serve as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to research readings in any doctoral seminar or research methods class. This book is currently used as a research text at universities on six continents and will shortly be available in nine different languages.
