Abstract

This research explored factors of embracing change in teachers' learning management according to the competency-based curriculum approach. It was divided into two steps. In Step 1: Qualitative Study, the informants were 10 experts. The research instrument was an in-depth interview form. Content analysis was employed in data analysis. In Step 2: Quantitative Study, the sample included 611 grade 1 - 6 teachers under the Suphanburi Primary Educational Service Area Office, chosen by the multi-stage sampling. The research tool was a questionnaire with a 5-level rating scale, having a total reliability of 0.971. The principal component analysis and Varimax rotation were used to analyze the collected data for exploratory factor analysis. The results of the exploratory factor analysis consisted of 5 components, namely: 1) understanding of the changing situation, 2) collaborative working, 3) helping each other flexibly, 4) solving problems and support, and 5) idea generation. These components could explain 68.39% of the cumulative variance.
