The study found that there were three learning patterns in the school including one way learning or teacher centered learning, standardization learning or uniformity learning and transactional learning.

There were four aspects of learning process in the community: 1) the system of knowledge in various dimensions of community life including rice growing, food gathering, basketing, weaving, seedling, and herbal medicine; 2) the accumulation and diffusion of knowledge through families and kins, community leaders, verbal communications, group interactions, written materials and other community activities; 3) the institutions transfering knowledge including family temple, and local wisdom; and 4) the creation and modification of knowledge.
