DAMAG, RAMON C., University of the Philippines at Los Banos; June 1984, Responsivity to Training on Farm Product- ion Practices Among Development Program Operators in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines. Major Professor: Dr. Suraphol Sanguansri.
The study aimed to assess the responsivity of Development Program Operators in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines, and to determine the relationship between certain variables under personal, social, economic and training factors and respondents’ responsivity. It further sought to determine the respondents’ pattern of responses and to find out if the knowledge acquired by the respondents were used in their
farming operations.
A total of 77 Development Program Operators jointly selected by the MA technicians and representatives of the training staff of the Mindanao-based RTC--RD through the
recommendation of the local organizations on the basis of the criteria for recruitment issued by the PTC-RD, composed of the respondents of the study.
Data were gathered by means of interview schedule, examination, and questionnaire using the instruments prepared for the purpose.
Frequency count$, percentage, mean, median, rankings, standard deviation, Htest, Chi-square test, and Friedman's two-way analysis of variance were employed in the analysis of data.
Findings revealed that less than one-fourth (22 percent) of the respondents displayed significant score gains in corn production; only a few (18 percent) were displayed in rice production; and less than one-half (45 percent) of the respondents had significant score gains in swine production. However, 92 percent had significant score gains in the composite test.
More than one-half (51 percent) of the respondents had “low responsivity" score and only about 49 percent had "high responsivity".
It was observed that responsivity was higher on the part of training participants with smaller Household size (1-6 members) than those with bigger families (7 or more members) .
