| Abstract |
Agricultural aids are of special importance in different extension communicational processes. It plays a principal role in all educational and learning processes that help learner increase his understanding and learning. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to conduct a comparative study concerning knowledge transfer related to rural environment pollution. The study dealt with three visual extensions aides extension pictures, slides and wall posters.
The affiliated objectives were determined as the following:
1- To determine the respondent knowledge levels concerning rural environment pollution before and after their exposure to the studied extension aids including:
- extension pictures for the first experimental group , - colored slides for the second experimental group,
- extension wall posters for the third experimental group,
- extension pictures with colored slides for the fourth experimental
group,
- extension pictures with extension wall posters for the fifth experimental group,
-colored Slides with extension wall posters for the sixth experimental group ;
2- To determine the difference in the respondents knowledge changes related to rural environment pollution brought about by exposure to the previously after mentioned extension aids; and
3- To determine relationship between the studied independent variables of age , obtained education, agricultural land ownership, social
organization membership, contact with change agents, exposure to means of mass communication, cultural cosmopolitancy, sources of personal knowledge, and knowledge changes as a consequence of exposure to the previously extension aids including:
The study was conducted during November and December, 2001 , in seven villages related to Ashmoun Districts / Menofia governorate (Ashmoun, Al-Neaanaaia, Al- Haulass,Al-Ghsnamia, Bohat Shattanouf,and Samaley). Pretest - posttest experimental design was used in conducting the study.
A random sample of 210 farmers were selected with a rate of 30 farmers with agriculture land ownership/village a pre-tested written questionnaire and interpersonal interviews were used in collecting the study data.
" F "test," t" test, Duncan test, in addition to frequencies, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and simple correlation coefficient were used in analyzing the obtained study data. Statistical package for social studies was used in analyzing the obtained study data.
The main finding of the study were as the following :
1-The respondent knowledge levels in relation with rural environment pollution before and after exposure to the studied extension aids
It was found that the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution was higher for the experimental group than the control ones (at 0.01 significance level);
2- The respondent knowledge change in relation with rural environment pollution caused by exposure to the studied extension aids
The findings pointed out that The respondent knowledge changes for the different experimental groups related to exposure to the used
extension aids concerning rural environment pollution was different. It was found that average differences were significant (at 0.01 significance level.). As result of applying Duncan test, it was found that the average differences between extension pictures with colored slides for the fourth experimental group, and each of wall posters, extension pictures, colored slides, colored slides with wall posters, and pictures with wall posters was significant (at 0.01 significance level), between the colored slides with extension posters for the sixth experimental group and averages of each of, extension wall posters, extension pictures was significant (at 0.01 significance level),and was not significant for each of, the respondent knowledge change for colored slides and extension pictures with extension posters, and between extension pictures for the fifth experimental group and averages of extension posters was significant (at 0.01 significance level),and was not significant for each of extension pictures and colored slides, between colored slides for the second experimental group and average of extension posters was significant (at 0.01 significance level),and was not significant for extension pictures; and between extension pictures for, the first experimental group and averages of extension posters (at 0.01 significance level); and
3-Relationship between the dependent variable, the respondent knowledge level concerning rural environment pollution after exposure to the studied extension aids, and the studied independent variables of age, obtained education, agricultural land ownership, social organization membership, contact with change agents, exposure to means of mass communication, cultural
cosmopolitancy, sources of personal knowledge.
The findings showed that there was significant relationship for the first experimental group, at 0.05 significance level, between the studied independent variable, the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution and each of the studied independent variable obtained education, and agricultural land ownership.
-For the second experimental group, the findings showed significant relationship (at 0.05 significance level), between the dependent variable of the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution, and each of the studied independent variables of obtained education, and agricultural land ownership.
- For the third experimental group, the findings indicated that there was significant relationship between the studied dependent variable of the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution, at 0.05 significance level, and each of the studied independent variables of obtained education, contact with change agents, and personal knowledge sources.
- For the fifth experimental group, the study finding showed a significant relationship, at 0.05 significance level, between the dependent variable of the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution, and each of the independent variables of obtained education, exposure to means of mass communication, and cultural cosnopolitang.
- For the sixth experimental group, the study findings showed a significant relationship, at 0.01 significance level, between the dependent variable of the respondent knowledge level in relation with rural environment pollution, and obtained education and significant relationship, at 0.05 significance level with agricultural land ownership
Recommendations:
1- The study recommended that extension service decision makers should focus on using extension aids when implementing extension programs.
2- The study results suggest also to stress the usage of pictures with slides when contacting the knowledge of REP to maximize the education effect.
