3. Philosophy of Extension Education
According to Kelsey and Hearne (1967) the basic philosophy
of extension education is to teach people how to think, not
what to think. Extension's specific job is furnishing the
inspiration, supplying specific advice the technical help, and
counselling to see that the people as individuals, families,
groups and communities work together as a unit in
"blueprinting" their own problems, charting their own courses,
and that they launch forth to achieve their objectives. Sound
extension philosophy is always looking ahead.
