The Leagans model of communication (developed by J. Paul Leagans) is widely used in agricultural extension and includes six key elements:
1. Communicator: The source or sender of the message (e.g., extension worker).
2. Message: The information or content being conveyed (e.g., new farming technique).
3. Channel: The medium used to transmit the message (e.g., radio, demonstration).
4. Audience: The recipient or target group (e.g., farmers).
5. Feedback: The response from the audience, indicating understanding or adoption.
6. Effect: The outcome or impact of the communication (e.g., behavior change).
Thus, the model has 6 elements, making option (1) correct.
