The development and evaluation of a peasant farm management game - A tool in extension - Education in Nepal and other under developed countries

Abstract

In this project, an attempt has been made to develop and evaluate a Peasant Farm Management Game to be used as a tool for teaching tropical and subtropical agriculture to groups and individuals. The main aim is to provide the Nepalese extension agents with a teaching technique for peasant farmers to be used at the "awareness" and "interest" stages of adoption. As far as the author knows this is the first attempt to design a game for the peasant farmers' education. Though the elements of the game represent the Nepalese and bordering areas of North Indian conditions, it could be adopted for any tropical and subtropical countries by changing its perimeters.
