The population was teachers and students in primary schools in Nakhon Ratchasima province, which were voluntarily participated in a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Project in academic 2016. Purposive sampling was explored. Ban Krok Leak School was the target group, 8 teachers and 47 students in 4th-6th grades were examined. Research implements were lesson plan, evaluation form, and classroom management evaluation form and activity reflection memo. They were tested and found that the coherences were 0.67-1.00. Descriptive statistical analyses were percentage, means, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research findings were as follows; Coherence, cohesion and suitability of Teachers’ lesson plan ability were highest level (Mean=4.68, S.D.=0.36). Achievement test, Language skills test and cognitive skill test were coherence and more than the target score. Their difficulty and easiness index including discrimination index and reliability index were accepted. Students’ achievement (9.40–12.53), language skills (5.00–5.92) and cognitive skills (4.50–6.20) were progressive. Professional learning community increased students’ abilities after using the school instruction in 21st century model.
