Title
The ability of video training to reduce agricultural knowledge gaps between men and women in rural Uganda
Abstract
This study explored the effectiveness of video training delivered by portable battery-operated projectors to narrow the gap in agricultural knowledge between men and women in rural Uganda. Through the pre-post quasi-experiments, this study found that both video and traditional lecture-demonstration training approaches could significantly improve knowledge scores for both men and women. The method that combined video and lecture demonstration was significantly more effective in narrowing the gender knowledge gap. Use of video alone improved women's knowledge scores as much as men but did not reduce the preexisting knowledge gap between them.
