The process used for this research was research and development process including following steps: 1) studying basic information and needs for developing the model consisting of 1.1) to study basic information and study needs by analyzing documents about educational policy, principles, concepts, theories, and relevant research, using interviewing and focus group discussion 2) developing and finding the quality of a model of blended professional learning community with coaching consisting of 2.1) designing and developing the model 2.2) finding the quality of the model using focus group discussion of experts and evaluating the quality of the model. The instruments of the research were a document analysis form, structured interview questions, focus group discussion guidelines, and a 5 Rating Scale evaluation form for the quality of the model. The statistics for analyzing the data were mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.), and content analysis.
