Some Principles of Extension Teaching

U. S. Department of Agriculture

Abstract

In extension teaching one must keep in mind that there are two groups of people to be taught—the youth who has the plastic, receptive, habit-forming mind, and the adult, who is not so impressionable, is somewhat prejudiced and has a more or less habit-fixed mind. Most of this discussion will apply to adults whose habits are to be gradually re-formed, rather than to the teaching of young people. Before the habits of an adult can be redirected he must be made to feel that what we desire him to do will return to him the joy of accomplishment.

Our efforts must be along three lines: (1) To make him feel as we feel toward the piece of work to be done, (2) to make him think as we think about the work, and (3) to get him to act as we would have him act.
