Abstract Farmer field schools ( FFSs) have been used as an effective group learning approach in rural Egypt. In each FFS a number of farmers (20-25 males, females or mixed) meet regularly (on the weekly basis) with their facilitators, who perform the needed activities to make group learning easier by organizing the FFSs{u2019} communication and educational activities through organized and interactive discussions, participatory learning among farmers. The level of facilitators{u2019} performance, of these activities, is one of the most important determinants of the success of FFSs. This study investigated the levels of facilitators{u2019} performance of these activities, and the challenges facing them in this concern. The study was conducted in Fayoum Governorate |
