This paper outlines the concept of "program" and one set
of elements that are considered to make up the program
planning process in agricultural extension, and an
example of practical program planning in Rhodesia is
given. Although there is a wide variety of meanings
attached to the term "program" in adult education, it has
been stated by Thomas (1964) that all programs consist of
two factors: (1) the relationship between participant and
agent (usually oral); and (2) a variety of relationships
with a variety of factors in the environment, all chosen
and planned by these two parties. Four overlapping
factors suggested by Verner (1964) as the basis for
designing the learning experience, provide a simple model
which could be elaborated to suit various situations and
levels of planning: (1) determination of needs; (2)
identification of educational goals; (3) arrangement of
learning tasks; and (4) measurement of achievement. Each
of these steps is discussed. The cited program in
Rhodesia, in the rather isolated Gokwe district, is based
on cotton production. The foundation of the program is
close liaison between specialists, extension staff, and
the Cooperative Officer, and consists of the following
essentials: a program that is technically sound and
economically attractive; close cooperation of Extension
and Cooperative functions; locally adapted
recommendations, simplified to the essentials; emphasis
on staff training (technical and team work); annual
programs of main events; and monthly work program
prepared one month in advance from the farmer/field
worker level upwards. (DB)
