Principles and Techniques of Veterinary and AH Extension

COMBINATION AND USING THE METHODS IN PROPER SEQUENCE

• To answer our teaching needs, our extension plans of work must include methods that,
  • Enable our farmers to see, hear and do the thing to be learned
  • Enable us to reach large numbers of people and
  • Create confidence
• For instance, a personal contact is made through an office call or farm visit. A leader is visited. A demonstration is established. A meeting is held to discuss the demonstration. The meeting is advertised by circular letters.
• A news story is written on the results of the demonstration as seen at the meeting. These happenings and results are broadcast over radio or telecast over TV.
• Pictures are taken and a slide story is shown at a meeting. One method helps another, and many of them are used in combination and sequence to repeat the story.
