This document discusses the fundamentals of agriculture extension education and program planning. It defines program planning as the process of making decisions about the direction and intensity of extension efforts to create social, economic, and technological changes. The key steps in program planning include identifying problems, selecting desired outcomes, assessing resources, implementing, and evaluating the program. An extension program is a statement of the situation, objectives, problems, and solutions, and requires constant revision. The process of extension involves five phases: analyzing the situation, setting objectives, teaching, evaluating teaching, and reconsidering.
