Abstract

The research article aims to 1) study the current state and needs of a model, 2) develop and verify the model, 3) implement the mode, and 4) evaluate the model of a professional learning community to promote creativity-based learning of Ban Khwao Khong School teachers under the jurisdiction of the Surin Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. This developmental research follows four steps, 1) current state and needs assessment: surveying 7 teachers at Ban Khwao Khong School, 2) model development and verification: by 9 experts, 3) model implementation: with 7 teachers at Ban Khwao Khong School, and 4) model evaluation: by the same 7 teachers. Research tools included questionnaires, and basic statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Findings: 1) current state of professional learning community: moderate level ( = 3.21, S.D. = 0.20), needs for professional learning community: highest level ( = 4.13, S.D. = 0.09), 2) model development results: comprising 6 components-principles, objectives, components, processes, measurement and evaluation, and success conditions. The model was rated at the highest level for consistency ( = 4.71, S.D. = 0.17), and the manual's appropriateness was also rated at the highest level ( = 4.67, S.D. = 0.20), 3) model implementation results: highest level in learning management plans, processes, and student work/product evaluation ( = 4.75, S.D. = 0.10), and 4) model evaluation results: highest level for accuracy, appropriateness, feasibility, and usefulness ( = 4.61, S.D. = 0.11)
