Abstract

This research aimed to 1) Examine the components and indicators of the competencies of the TPACK model learning management, 2) Study the actual, desirable state and priority needs for the competencies of the TPACK model learning management, 3) Develop a training curriculum based on a Professional Learning Community to enhance the competencies of the TPACK model learning management, and 4) Study the results of the implementation of the developed training curriculum. The research follows a research and development methodology, consisting of four phases.
