Abstract:
In behavioural sciences, special tools are essential to measure the qualitative variables. The knowledge test is one such special tool which is capable of quantify the (qualitative variable) knowledge of an individual on a particular concept for which it is developed. This test was developed to measure the knowledge level of dry farmers on ‘sustainable dry farming’. The standardised knowledge test contains 24 test items. In which 4 were multiple choice questions and remaining 20 were the questions with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses. The higher test score indicates higher level of knowledge and vice-versa. This test may be useful to measure the knowledge level of dry farmers on sustainable dry farming in the future research works.
