THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY NETWORK MODEL FOR ENHANCING SCIENCE LEARNING MANAGEMENT COMPETENCE AND TEAMWORK OF TEACHERS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF SONGKHLA

Abstract

          The objectives of this research article were to 1) develop a professional learning community network model for enhancing science learning management competence and teacher teamwork in the educational institution of Songkhla City Municipality and 2) study the effectiveness of the professional learning community network model. Research and Development (R&D) were used for research methodology. Cluster samplings of 42 Science teachers of the 1st semester of the academic year 2020 were randomized from a network of educational institutions of Songkhla City Municipality. The research instruments were 1) a manual model of professional learning community network, 2) evaluation form of learning Science management and teamwork, 3) achievement tests of Science study, 4) survey form of learning Science atmosphere and satisfaction questionnaire. Mean, standard deviation, t-test, and content analysis were used in the research. The research results were found that 1) professional learning community network model for enhancing science learning management competence and teacher teamwork in the educational institution of Songkhla City Municipality consisted of 4 main components: Principles, Objectives, Operational Processes and Conditions of Success in Implementing the model. 2) The effectiveness of using this model found that the post-experiment result of learning management competence and teamwork of Science teachers is higher than the pre-experiment result with statistical significance at 0.5 level. The post-test result of students’ science learning is higher than pre-test with statistical significance at 0.5 level. Science teachers could manage teaching and learning to enhance scientific learning atmosphere at the great level and were overall satisfied with professional learning community network model at the greatest level.
