Abstract
The present study focused on effectiveness of extension teaching methods on acquiring knowledge, skill and attitude to farm women. Information was collected from randomly selected 120 farm women trainees from six different short and vocational training programmes at KVK Ropar by using interview schedule. Analysis of the data was carried out by using frequency, mean, percentages and correlation. A significant positive relationship existed between age (r=0.3330), literacy (r=0.235) and farm size (r=0.278) with skill level of the respondents. Therefore, it becomes imperative that these significant variables are determining factors to the effectiveness of the teaching methods in achieving the main tasks of extension service.
Key words: Effectiveness, Extension Teaching Methods, Knowledge, Skill and Attitude.
