A study of the cooperative agricultural extension program in the United States with implications for the agricultural extension program in Sri Lanka

Navaratnam, K. K. January 1982 (has links)
A descriptive type of research was conducted to study the Cooperative Extension Service in the United States with implications for the Agricultural Extension Program in Sri Lanka. The Commonwealth of Virginia's Cooperative Extension Service was selected for detailed study and information was collected through literature reviews and personal interviews. Based on the writer's experience and available materials, information concerned with the Agricultural Extension Program in Sri Lanka was presented. The information on organizational structure and operation of the cooperative agricultural extension program in Virginia, including the history of agricultural extension programs in the United States; cooperative extension work at Federal, state and county levels; responsibilities of extension personnel; program planning and evaluation; flow of information and teaching methods; staff development; and 4-H activities were collected and compared with similar aspects of the agricultural extension program in Sri Lanka. The comparison of the Cooperative Extension Service in the United States and the Agricultural Extension Program in Sri Lanka shows both differences and commonalities. Basic functions and the general objectives of both extension programs are almost the same, but there are differences between the two extension programs in organizational structure, subject matter coverage, approach to the clientele, procedures of program planning and implementation, staff development and in 4-H activities. Based on the findings of this study, the following most important conclusions were drawn: (1) a lack of formal functional relationship between the Agricultural Extension Service and the higher educational institutes has limited the use of personnel and resources available in the institutes; (2) the lack of job descriptions for agricultural extension workers leads to confusion of their duties and responsibilities; (3) the Agricultural Extension Service in Sri Lanka has not used local clientele committees during the program development process; (4) the village level extension workers do not have input in the preparation and implementation of the programs at the local level; (5) an evaluation unit or commitment for evaluation is neglected in the organizational structure of the Agricultural Extension Service in Sri Lanka; (6) the demonstration method of teaching has been overlooked and is used too infrequently in agricultural extension education activities; (7) technical assistance provided by extension workers is limited to agricultural production; and (8) young farmers program activities have been neglected for many years. Based on the selected conclusions of this study, the selected recommendations were made to help strengthen the Agricultural Extension Service in Sri Lanka: 1. that a formal functional relationship be established between the Agricultural Extension Service and the higher educational institutes; 2. that the duties and responsibilities of extension workers at the various levels be defined; 3. that advisory committees be organized at each hierarchy level of the organizational structure of the Agricultural Extension Service; 4. that agricultural extension programs be developed and implemented at local levels; 5. that an evaluation unit be created as a part of the Agricultural Extension Division; 6. that the demonstration technique be used as a primary teaching method; 7. that the competency level of extension personnel be improved through a systematic and planned preservice and in-service preparation programs; and 8. that village level extension workers organize young farmers clubs in each of their ranges. / Master of Science

A comparative analysis of the Cooperative Extension Service of the United States (Virginia) and the Agricultural Extension Service of Nigeria (Anambra)

Walson, Francis Odili January 1983 (has links)
The objectives of the study were as follows: 1. To investigate the following of the Cooperative Extension in the United States (Virginia) and Nigeria (Anambra): A. Background and history B. Organization C. Administration D. Responsibilities of personnel E. Financing F. Program areas G. Training of staff H. Communication processes and methods used I. Reporting and evaluation of programs 2. To write·a descriptive comparison of the two extension systems. 3. To make recommendations for the improvement of the Nigerian Agricultural Extension Service based on the findings. Nigeria has an Agricultural Extension Service which has not been successful in changing the life of the peasant farmers and needs to be improved if agriculture is to be successful in Nigeria. Nigeria's economy has gone down within the last year due to the reduced price of oil on which the nation has built its wealth since the mid-1960's. It is now believed by the Nigerian policymakers that agriculture is a more stable and everlasting base for the economy and again needs to be the primary source of income in Nigeria. The methods used in this study were as follows: A. Literature review. A literature review was made on the elements selected for study. B. Sources of information. Additional information was obtained from other sources such as the Cooperative Extension Service in the United States and Nigeria, personal interviews, world bank offices in the United States. C. A descriptive comparison was made on all of the elements studied and conclusions were drawn. Recommendations for the improvement of the Nigerian Agricultural Extension Service were made. The comparison between the Cooperative Extension Service in the United States and the Nigerian Agricultural Extension Service shows similarities and differences. There is greater similarity in their operations than in the organizational and administrative structure. There are also differences in the methods used to carry out the extension programs, variety of programs, procedures used in program planning and reporting and evaluation of programs. Ten important recommendations resulting from this study are: That the Federal government enact legislation (laws and regulations) which will provide adequate financial support, recognition and direction for the operation of the Agricultural Extension Service. That the technical personnel of the Agricultural Extension Service carry out educational functions exclusively. That additional technical extension personnel be employed so that there is an adequate number to do the work and that they be well trained. That more workers in the Home Economics programs be employed and trained. That the extension workers use the training and visit system (T and V) to train the farmers. That the extension service provide an adequate number of demonstration units. That cine vans (demonstration units) equipped with microphones and cinema equipment tour all the villages more frequently to enlighten the farmers. That a separate Evaluation Section be included in all Agricultural Extension Divisions in the nation. That the personnel of the Agricultural Extension Service be given adequate training in the area of reporting and evaluation. That adequate funds be provided for the reporting and evaluation section so that the workers and the public will know how much progress is being made, / Ph. D.
