Abstract
Skill development training aims to impart new knowledge and skill as well as build up favourable attitude among trainees.Evaluating the farmers’ knowledge and attitude towards skill development trainings will help to assess effectivenessof training as well as adoption probability of the acquired knowledge/skill. This research paper evaluated the impactof skill development training on fish farmers’ knowledge and attitude, in different districts of Bihar. Primary data werecollected from randomly selected trainees (250 Nos.), using feedback proforma and mobile phonic survey methodology.The first three levels of training evaluation model given by Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick were followed for measuring theimmediate impact of skill development training. Data were subjected to descriptive and Z-test statistics. The findingsrevealed that skill development training had significant (p=0.000) positive impact on the knowledge level of trainees.They exhibited favourable attitude towards skill development trainings and would be potential adopters of the acquiredknowledge and skills.
Keywords: Attitude, Fish farmers, Impact evaluation, Kirkpatrick model, Knowledge, Skill development training
