Abstract

Krishi Vigyan Kendra provides training to various stakeholders as a means of delivering technology. As a profession, the KVK professionals should have the holistic understanding and appropriate perception towards objectives of extension education. The objective of study was to analyze the perception of KVK professionals towards objectives of extension education. The study was conducted during March-August, 2021 using structured questionnaire. The sample of the study included 150 KVK scientists from 145 KVKs spread over 24 states and Union territories. The study assessed the perception of the KVK professionals towards the objectives of Extension. This Perception towards objectives was measured by using 5 point continuum on Liker scale with the help of 34 statements. The objective “Communicating the research information that is useful for economic and practical purposes” scored first rank with 66.67 weighted mean score and also revealed that majority of KVK professionals were having favorable Perception regarding objectives (74.67%) of extension followed by equal number of respondents (12.66%) were having both highly favorable and unfavorable perceptions towards objectives of extension. Additionally, it was shown that information seeking behaviour had positive and significant relationship with the perception of KVK professionals regarding objectives of extension education. Step-wise regression model revealed that information seeking behavior contributed about 2.70 per cent of total of variances in perceptions toward objectives of extension. Hence, it can be concluded that KVK professionals need to have favourable perception towards objectives of extension for executing mandates of KVK more successfully.
推广教育的目标:KVK专业人员的认知分析
Krishi Vigyan Kendra为各种利益相关者提供培训,作为交付技术的一种手段。作为一种职业,KVK专业人员应该对推广教育的目标有全面的理解和适当的感知。本研究的目的是分析KVK专业人员对推广教育目标的看法。该研究于2021年3月至8月采用结构化问卷进行。该研究的样本包括来自24个邦和联邦属地的145个KVK的150名KVK科学家。本研究评估了KVK专业人员对推广目标的看法。这种对目标的感知是用李克氏5分连续量表和34个语句来测量的。目标“传达对经济和实用目的有用的研究信息”以66.67的加权平均得分排名第一,并且还显示大多数KVK专业人员对推广目标有好感(74.67%),其次是同等数量的受访者(12.66%)对推广目标有高度好感和不好感。此外,研究表明,信息寻求行为与KVK专业人员对推广教育目标的感知呈正相关。逐步回归模型显示,信息寻求行为对扩展目标感知总方差的贡献约为2.70%。因此,可以得出结论,KVK专业人员需要对延长目标有良好的认识,以便更成功地执行KVK的任务。
