Comparative study for the effect of some methods, aids and styles for extension workers of training on there knowledge and attitudes
Abstract: This study aims to:1- Determine the differences between the average degree of Extension Training Experts Outside the Training Center (ETEOTC) preference regarding each of the nine studied combinations of Training Methods, Aids and 'I'echniques ('TAT) when they select it to change trainees knowledge, and these combinations are: (1) lecture, (2) lecture and discussion, (3) lecture, discussion and photos, (4) lecture, discussion and video films, (5) lecture, discussion and slides of an overhead projector, (6) lecture, discussion and result, (7) demonstration, lecture, and discussion. (8) method demonstration, lecture and discussion, and (9) workshop, lecture and discussion.
Determine the differences between the average degree, of ETEOTC preference regarding each the of nine studied TMA'I combinations when they select it to change trainees knowledge. Determine the differences between the average degree of Extension Training Experts Working in the Training Center (ETEWTC) preference regarding each of the nine studied TMAT combinations when they select it to change trainees attitudes. Determine the differences between the average degree of ETEWTC preference regarding each of the nine studied "I'MA'I' when they select it to change trainees attitudes. Determine the differences between the average degree of ETEOTC opinion regarding the effect of each of the nine studied T MAT combinations on changing trainees knowledge. Determine the differences between the average degree of EI EQYI'C opinion regarding the effect of each of the nine studied TMAT combinations on changing trainees knowledge.
Determine the differences between the average degree of ETEWTC opinion regarding the effect of, each of the nine studied TMAT combinations on changing trainees attitudes. Two sample were drawn from the study population to collect the needed data as follows The population amounted to 275 experts from which a random sample was drawn of 40 experts rated to 14% of the population. The population amounted to 175 research from which random sample was drawn of 30 researchers rating to 17.14% of the population. Data were tabulated and analyzed statistically using averages, Standard Deviation for respondents preference and opinions. (b) test was used to determine the difference between these average degrees. LSI) was used to determine the significant difference between each pair of averages. The results of the study revealed the following: The most preferable TMAT by the respondents of the two samples to change trainees knowledge and attitudes included in general: beside lecture and discussion, either of the two kinds of demonstration, a video film, a workshop or slides of an overhead projector as they indicated that it is the most effective to change trainees knowledge and attitudes. These TMAT were followed by photos, lecture and discussion, and lecture only as seen by them to have the least effect on changing trainees knowledge and attitudes. 2- The differences between the average degrees of E'I'EOTC preference for each of the TMAT combinations when selecting it to change trainees knowledge were significant at 0.01 level. Also, the differences between their opinions about these combinations effect on changing trainees knowledge were significant at 0.01 level. The applicable results of the study that might help program extension training program in the future can be articulated as follows: It is important for the staff in charge of extension and training courses aiming to change trainees knowledge and attitudes that these programs would depend on the "TMAT that his study indicated its effect on acknowledge of extension trainees for various types of information, and that were effective in various stages of attitude chance, as these "TMAT has an integrated effect especially those TMAT that give the trainees the chance to participate in training activities, discussion, result. demonstration or method demonstration and include the usage of video films, slides of overhead projectors, photos, and lessens their dependency on lectures alone which the study revealed that it has a lower effect on changing training knowledge and attitudes. In addition, decision makers responsible for plans, policy and agricultural research programs whether in research centers, institutes or universities should consider investigating the preference and opinions of experts about the effect of TMAT that were not tested in this study while developing their research plans and programs and especially the areas that were not covered in this study, and to experiment their results on active use of "I'MA"I' in a real training situation with trainees.
