Abstract

The study was conducted in Bangalore district of Karnataka, during the year 2010-2011. The study revealed that training needs of teachers on educational technologies are varied. RJ scores explain this fact more clearly. Based on the importance given by the teachers and rank order they (i) Methods of class room teaching (ii) Preparation of lesson plans (iii) Techniques of student motivation (iv) Class room evaluation methods (v) Learning theories and their application to class room teaching (vi) Preparation and use of A.V. aids (vii) Guidance and counseling to students (viii) Handling A.V. equipments and (ix) Photography- use of digital cameras. The Kendall's test of concordance was found to be highly significant in ranking of the problems.

Abstract

The groundwater is a highly scarce resource in Karnataka state and is also depleting fast. It is one of the major factors of production in the agrarian economy of the state. The groundwater draft in the state is more than its recharge, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions and has caused deepening of groundwater table. The watershed management approach is considered as a sound approach for achieving better agricultural development as forges soil and water conservation practices, so that we can achieve sustainable crop production. Present study was conducted in the Gamanagatti (1002 ha) micro watershed which is located at a distance of 12 Km from Hubli city of Karnataka state. The individual farmer adopted different package of conservation practice on their own depending upon the requirement and availability of resources. Soil and water conservation is a long range benefit programme and the immediate returns on the investments are never spectacular. The evaluation of water conservation methods are being carried out in terms of physical, social and economic aspects. For the purpose of economic evaluation, the most widely used technique is benefit-cost analysis (BCA). Apart from BCA, other criteria such as internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV) and pay back period were also used.

Abstract

Curriculum is the central part of agricultural education in offering qualitative education in this country. Therefore, it is mandatory for colleges or agricultural universities to take up curriculum development to build strong human resource and overall personality development of graduates in this country in the years to come. Hence, an attempt was made to know the perception of teachers towards agricultural curriculum in a state agriculture university (SAU). The study was conducted at University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), GKVK, Bangalore during 2010-11 and the sample consisted of 60 teachers was selected by using simple random sampling method. A well structured, pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect the data and the data were analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques. The results revealed that 43.33 per cent of the teachers opined that curriculum was useful, whereas 31.67 per cent was more useful and 25 per cent was less useful, respectively and 78.33 per cent of teachers had opined that horticulture discipline was more useful in acquisition of knowledge, 58.33 per cent of students had expressed Agricultural engineering discipline was useful in developing skills and 23.33 per cent of students reported that Plant Protection discipline was less useful in overall personality development of students. This calls for the need for assessing the pedagogy of teachinglearning.
