This research aims to develop the model reinforcing professional learning community through information technology system (E-PLC). The study was sectioned into four stages as follows:
The first stage which is investigating the components and guidelines for the E-PLC revealed that the E-PLC consisted of seven components which hold significance at the highest level. The guidelines for each component include 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) inputs, 4) processes, 5) outcomes, 6) impacts, and 7) success factor. The second stage of constructing the E-PLC model with seven components which was validated by experts, in overall and individual aspect, indicated suitability of the model at the highest level. The third stage of operationalizing the E-PLC model revealed that the model can reinforce PLC, in overall and individual aspect, at the high level; the students’ knowledge achievement on constructing PLC showed a higher test score of the post-implementation than that of the pre-implementation of the model at the significance level of .01; and the competence assessment of students in creating PLC, in overall and individual aspects, was rated at a high level. The fourth stage of the E-PLC model’s evaluation revealed that the usefulness was rated at the highest level while the feasibility for model implementation was rated at a high level. This study also provides recommendations for application towards Teachers’ Council, university, faculty and program, and student teacher. Furthermore, there should be an annual monitoring study of the E-PLC in order to develop a comprehensive framework adjustable to various evolving trends and changes.
