This research is a qualitative study aimed at exploring the process of developing learning in thinking and communication skills among students in the Ratchaburi province. The researcher studied a sample group comprising 60 students from grades 2 to 6 in schools from Suan Phueng districts, Ratchaburi province. The learning process was designed based on experience - based learning, transformative learning curve, learning skills, and the sensory systems. Three key stages were incorporated into the learning process and transferred to the youth: 1. Creating youth with the ability to learn and providing a safe environment through mentoring as a model. 2. Developing fundamental knowledge and thinking skills, including note-taking, listening, questioning, and basic skills. 3. Applying knowledge and skills in real-life contexts and transferring them to others, with a focus on designing continuous activities in line with creating an appropriate learning environment for the youth. The study utilized resources available in schools and communities as learning tools. Evaluate the design and learning outcomes of young people by focus group, observe and take notes with teachers and youth. The results of the study indicated that this designed learning process enabled youth to acquire knowledge and new learning experiences, communications, increasing their interest and understanding of the benefits of learning. This led to the development of their thinking skills, learning abilities, and life skills. Ultimately, this approach facilitated youth genuine self-transformation.
