IASSI QuarterlySummary: The present study was undertaken to define the relationship between knowledge enhancement and skill development. The study is based on a conceptualized additive model of knowledge and skill. The model demonstrates the interrelationship between change in knowledge and skill under specific situations on farm women as learners with their specific socio-personal characteristics. The pre-post test experimental research design was employed for the study. Total sample comprised 252 respondents who were split into three groups and each was provided training by a different method i.e., one group was provided training through an information session, another group through a skill session and the last group was provided training by combining the above two methods. Results of the study clearly show that knowledge enhancement and skill development are dependent on each other. Providing knowledge or skill alone lead to a lesser gain in the above mentioned variables as compared to a combined approach if providing both together. Training by combining information plus skill sessions leads to a higher gain of both knowledge and skills. Finally, the study confirms the conceptualized additive model of knowledge and skills. However, the results indicate more gain in knowledge through skill development than was postulated initially. - Reproduced.
