Much of medical education remains teacher centered, as exemplified by the continued emphasis on lectures. Increasingly, however, the importance of the learner is being recognized and acknowledged in medical school curricula. The distinction between teaching and learning is also an issue for graduate medical education; accreditation bodies focus on programs and teaching, and credentialing bodies determine whether individuals have accomplished sufficient learning. The true mission of teaching is to facilitate learning, and adult learning is enhanced by four elements: respect, building on previous experiences, immediacy of application, and the opportunity to practice. These elements should be considered when designing educational experiences in the community. Educational planning includes five steps, represented by the mnemonic GNOME: goals, needs assessment, objectives, methods, and evaluation. Goals are broad aspirations, which are refined by the learners' needs to specific, measurable objectives. Methods are selected to match the objective, and evaluation determines whether the objectives were achieved. The results of the evaluation serve as another needs assessment, and the process continues until the goals are achieved. Throughout the process, the primary focus should be on the resident, with the program in a supporting role.

This study analyses the Active Citizens program conducted in seven Czech elementary schools in 2017/2018. The data were obtained in a mixed-design research study containing pre/post experimental/control groups (N = 114), eight focus groups with selected students (N = 56), and group interviews with teachers (N = 14). The mean age of the students was 13.8 years. The study focuses on the students’ and the teachers’ perception of the process, the program’s barriers and benefits, and on the impact of the program on the students’ self-efficacy and on perceived democratic school culture. The analysis revealed that while the participants felt empowered because of their experience, they started to perceive their school environment as less democratic than before the program. The program also likely influenced girls more than boys as the latter seem to have been unaffected. Finally, the implications of the findings for the practice are discussed.

The research objective is to create an embryonic center for local community-based education in strengthening rural areas that are progressing efficiently, effectively, and sustainably as a form of university connectivity with the local community. This research focuses on identifying the area's potential in a careful village, with a qualitative research method using an ex post facto comparative clause through a social, ethnographic approach. The research was conducted using a purposive sampling technique consisting of village officials, community leaders, youth organizations, family empowerment and welfare, arts and culture actors, business actors, and planning faculty development planners as many as 20 respondents. The results of the study are in the form of identification findings that can be used as objects of community social mapping projections, needs, essential potential, human resource capabilities, institutions, local culture, infrastructure, economy, natural resources, and agriculture to design rural areas to become centers of local community-based education in strengthening, developing and tri dharma of higher education in the fields of agriculture, plantation, animal husbandry, fisheries, and social entrepreneurship.
