This module is a Level 4 module and a core module for the Masters in Agricultural Extension and Innovation (Option B) where students are on an approved professional internship or working in a relevant role. It may be available as an elective module to other postgraduate programmes on a case by case basis.
This module focuses on processes of learning and behaviour change as they relate to farm level decision making, technology adoption and creation of innovation. It examines the link between agricultural research, farm advisory services and agricultural education as part of the ‘Knowledge transfer’ triangle and how extension and education can be seen as a science, a process/activity and as a policy instrument. The module explores the social and psychological factors that influence farmer learning, innovation and behaviour change. This is critically important in farm productivity, profitability and viability.
