<p>Dear Kaleab:</p>
<p>You did not get it because I never mentioned knowledge and practice to you. Read my suggestion very well and show me those two words (knowledge and practice) you used. However, if it is knowledge you want to measure, it is as simple as ABC, all your questions for the measuring scale will be close-ended and the answers will be monosyllabic (Yes or No). Why?

<p>Surveys have been used extensively to assess knowledge and adoption of improved farming practices. You can include qualitative methods also to know more about why, how, etc. I have done several such studies - Adoption of Good Agricultural Practices while working with TechnoServe.</p>

<p>Hi Kaleab</p>
<p>Have you heard of "Most Significant Change"? It is a methodology developed by two evaluators who devised initially for agricultural extension projects - see <a href="https://www.betterevaluation.org/en/resources/guides/most_significant_change">The 'Most Significant Change' Technique - A Guide to Its Use | Better Evaluation</a> and <a href="https://www.mande.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2005/MSCGuide.pdf">MSC_finalextra_single (mande.co.uk)</a> </p>

<p>It has been used extensively here in Australia by Dr Jessica Dart and overseas by her colleague Dr Rick Davies. Best of luck</p>

<p>Hi Archana, thanks for your explanation. How can I infere behavioural change by making use of observational data on actual practices? Do I need to set standards?</p>

<p>It is really helpful Shankar. The capacity building programme I am referring involves training farmers (globally) on sustainable use of mineral fertilisers, pesticides, and water resources. What would you suggest as the top three methods to gauge behavioural change attributed to the training? </p>
