I am doing some researches on national agricultural innovation systems and agricultural extension systems and approaches evaluation and need more information on Meta-analyses particularly on agricultural extension.
What kind of analysis would you like to do? Observe an overall trend? Explain variation in some observed agricultural outcome? The actual analysis should not be unique to agricultural systems, likely only the data collection and effect size conversions.
Dear DaniaelI! As I know Meta-analysis is a particular methodology for analyzing the analysis. So it has its principles and I am looking for those principles due different and applicable experiences. AS my field of expertize is Agricultural extension education i am focusing in this area? I hope that i could explain it more clear.
Thank you for your contribution. As you know Meta-analysis is a research methodology to analyzing the analyses. The value article that you introduced to me is very useful and you and other respective authors have done it in an innovation system context. I will use it and I will follow your other publications through Research gate.
I really appreciate you because I think your article is a real case of Meta-evaluation of agricultural extension theoretical foundations. At that time - I mean year 2003- you were one of the pioneers to making challenges with the theoretical frame work of innovation diffusion theory and it needed to review and revision. As you know the concept and function of extension services in an innovation system is totally different from the atmosphere that extension system works in an innovation diffusion base. For wrapping up I can say the nature of Innovation in the agricultural innovation systems is very different to innovation diffusion base system that was leading by a linear model of innovation.
