Extension Micro-Course | Adult Learning Cycle

Successful extension programs encourage farmers or landholders to use (or adopt) new tools or technologies on-farm. The Action Learning Cycle is one tool that supports learning and change, giving you the process to increase the rate of adoption.

Topics we will talk about include: 

• Adult vs children’s learning styles 
• Stages of the action learning cycle 
• Extension activities you can use to support farmer adoption at each stage 
• Timing of the stages in the adult learning cycle
