III. MODULE INTRODUCTION


Extension is a type of intervention focused on education and training and related services,
designed towards helping people to help themselves. Operationally, this means that people with
initial assistance from extension system through their own effort need to develop self-reliance by
acquiring new knowledge and skills, attitudes, new insights, appreciation and perception that
will help them get through and arrive at solutions to their own problems.
The role of extension is to bridge the gap between the research system and the client system. All
forms of education take education to the rural people. Extension takes to the rural people that
form of educational assistance appropriate to their needs.
The concepts of agricultural extension imply effecting change in behaviour of the rural people
presumably resulting more specifically in improved agricultural production, better living and
improvement of a nation’s economy.

IV. LEARNING OUTCOME

 Whose idea is it that one is an adult?

 Who behaves as an adult?


 Who performs adult roles?

Examples:
o Teachers
o Farmers
o Parents
o Extension Agents
o Policemen
o Priests

Teaching
- The art of changing people’s behavior by facilitating the learning process for
them.
Learning
- RELATIVELY PERMANENT CHANGE in behavior brought about by
PRACTICE.
ANDRAGOGY vs. PEDAGOGY

Andragogy
- The art and sciences of helping adults learn.
- Used originally in 1833 by Alexander Kapp, a German educator.
- Developed into a theory of adult education by MALCOLM KNOWLES, an
American educator. Most adult learning theories have been based on his work.
- Built upon two central, defining attributes:
o Learners are self-directed and autonomous;

o The teacher is a facilitator of learning rather than a presenter of


content.

Pedagogy
- The art and science of teaching children.

ADULT LEARNER CHARACTERISTICS

 THE NEED TO KNOW


- Adult learners need to know why they need to learn something before
undertaking to learn it and how they will benefit from it.
 LEARNER SELF-CONCEPT
- As a person matures his self-concept moves from one of being a dependent
personality toward one of being a self-directed human being.
 ROLE OF EXPERIENCE
- As a person matures he accumulates a growing reservoir of experience that
becomes an increasing resource for learning.
- Adults want to use what they know and be acknowledged for having that
knowledge.
 READINESS TO LEARN
- As a person matures his readiness to learn becomes oriented increasingly to the
developmental tasks of his social roles; learnings should solve real-life tasks or
problems.
 ORIENTATION TO LEARNING
- As a person matures his time perspective changes from one of postponed
application of knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his
orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-centeredness to one of
problem centeredness.
- Adults are life, task, or problem-centered in their orientation to learning.
 LEARNING BY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS
- Adults tend to be more motivated towards learning that helps them solve
problems in their livers or results in internal payoffs.
- External payoffs are also important but internal need provides more satisfaction

WHEN DO ADULTS LEARN BEST?

Adults learn best when…


o They have strong desire to learn.
o They put forth an effort to learn.
o They have clear goals.
o They receive satisfaction.

PRINCIPLES OF ADULT TEACHING AND LEARNING

 Self-activity or active response


- If we are to effectively change the behavior of people, we should make them
actively participate in doing what is to be learned.
 Practice or repetition
- A learning activity experienced many times tends to be remembered longer and
to be recalled easier.
 Timing
- Learning takes place more readily when a fact or skill is taught at the time or just
before the time when it can be used in some serviceable way.
 Association
- Experiences that happen together tend to recur together hence we learn once by
associating it with the other.
 Satisfaction
- Anything that is satisfying will promote learning.
 Reward
- Reward promotes learning.
 Motivation
- The ease of learning varies directly with the meaningfulness of the materials
presented
 Apperception
- Learners perceive the new in terms of the old.
 Transfer
- A person learns through transfer to the extent that the abilities acquired in one
situation help in the other.
 Readiness
- The more fully a person is in readiness to act in a certain way, the more satisfying
it will be for him to act in that way and the more annoying it will be if prevented.
 Mindset
- Past experiences keep individuals from using objects in different ways.
 Use and disuse
- When something is learned and used, it is remembered but when it is not used, it
is forgotten.
 Individual differences
- No two people are exactly alike.
- People vary in their ability to benefit from one teaching method or technique.
 Contrast
- We tend to remember those things which are in
 Recency
- The more recent an experience, the more readily it can be recalled.

THE CHALLENGE OF EXTENSION

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
1. Read and understand information sheet 2 containing the challenge of extension education.

2.Watch the pre-recorded video/audio lecture regarding the challenge of extension education.

The Challenge of Extension

Extension is a process of effecting positive change in the lives of people particularly


those in the countryside. To bring about the change is a difficult task considering the needs
and problems that beset the extension system and the realities of life in the rural areas. It
requires a lot of committed human resources, adequate budget, and support services from
the government organizations, non-government organizations and local government units.

The following areas of concern pose challenges to the extension delivery system:

A. Wide geographic area of coverage. The Philippines is composed of 16 regions, 78


provinces, 96 cities, 1513 municipalities and 41,943 barangays. Ideally, an extension worker
should serve 3 barangays in order to be effective.

B. Ecological Zones. In the Philippines, there are different ecological zones like the lowland
rainfed, and upland hilly, mountainous and coastal areas. An extension worker should
know the characteristics of these zones so as to be better prepared to give assistance to the
people in terms of agricultural and fisheries production projects.

C. The culture of people. Understanding the culture of people is one requisite to successful
extension work. Research results and technology which are good for one culture may not
be acceptable to people with another culture.

D. Problems of the people. Among the problems which must be given attention by the
extension workers are rapid population growth, poverty, low productivity in agriculture
and fisheries, unemployment, underemployment, inadequate basic services.

Making the youth busy in their farms and homes by engaging in productive
enterprises will reduce migration to cities or urban areas where most prostitution problems
occur.
Advocating entrepreneurial projects and training the people to become
entrepreneurs may lessen underemployment and unemployment problems thus contribute
to economic productivity of the nation.

E. Globalization, Information and Communication Revolution. Globalization concerns


can be addressed thru extension by enhancing competitiveness of people in agriculture and
fisheries production in both domestic and foreign markets. As greater knowledge and skills
become important due to changes in technology, there are corresponding changes in the
education and training needs of the people.

With the foregoing challenges, government agencies, non-government organizations or


private sectors, local government units, people’s organizations and other partners in
extension should work hard hand-in-hand with each other. Basic and support services
should be improved/enhanced and made readily available to people who are in dire need
of them

Commitment, cooperation, coordination and implementation are key-values and


strategies to remember for the sake of our fellowmen.
Commitment is being concerned with other people. It is also giving the best of
oneself in helping others.
Cooperation is a process by which individuals, groups and organizations come
together, interact and form psychological relationship for mutual gain or benefit.
Coordination means harmonized and unified efforts of organizations and people
while complementation connotes providing the needed support lacking in one
organization.

Extension being problem and issue-oriented, change and development-focused and


transformation directed requires that the human resource who will be involved in
extension delivery should possess the following characteristics:
1. has multi-disciplinary theoretical and practical grounding
2. sensitive to the needs and problems of individuals, organization and communities
3. open to change and development
4. commitment to work for development in accordance with what people and communities
want.

Our experiences and consolation in working with the people in the barangays; in
cooperation and partnership with national government agencies, local government units,
non-government organizations; in teaching undergraduate and graduate students of
agriculture and fishery courses, extension education and rural development as well as in
training and communicating with people who belong to different sectors in our society
inspire us to write a book on extension.
