Principle of learnings

Principle of self-activity: conducting demonstrations by farmers themselves in their own field provides the opportunity for self-activity ie learning by doing. This makes learning effective and permanent.

Principle of association: new learning may be associated with previous successful and satisfying responses.

Principles of transfer: application of perceived relationship with another situation in which it is practicable.

Principles of disassociation: For effective learning, undesirable responses are to be eliminated. This may be done by setting up desirable substitutes which are more satisfying.

Principle of readiness: learning takes place more effectively when one is ready to learn

Principle of set or attitudes: an unfavorable attitude or set retards learning and a favorable attitude accelerates. Unless attitudes become favorable adoption will not be takes place.

Principle of practice: perfection is seldom achieved without practice. The practice must be correct, otherwise, there will be wrong learning.

Principle of motivation: motivation or drive means stimulation towards action. Without motivation, an organism does not behave and hence does not learn.

Principle of timing: other things being equal, learning takes place more rapidly when there is an introduction of a topic or skills at a time when it can be used in some serviceable manner.

Principle of clarity of objectives: the objectives of learning should be clear. The ease of learning seems to vary directly with the meaningfulness of the materials presented.

Principle of satisfyingness: a satisfying after-effect reinforces learning
