Abstract:
This study relied on qualitative methodology. The purposes were to propose the process for enhancing pre-service teachers ability in designing instruction based on Professional Learning Community (PLC) approach and to study the pre-service teachers ability in designing instruction when they were participating in the process. The research was divided into 3 phases: Phase I was the previous field study, in which the process was developed conceptual framework for research and the draft of the process for enhancing pre-service teachers ability in designing instruction. Phase II was the field study, in which the process for one academic year, and collected data from 11 case studies of pre-service teachers in 4 profession schools for developing the draft of the process, and Phase III was the field study's conclusion, in which improve the completed process upon the recommendation of experts. The research results were as follows: 1. The process was proposed is a process which enhances the ability in designing instruction of pre-service teachers based on the solution of the instructional design problems for each case through a collaboration of PLC members; pre-service teachers, mentors and supervisors. The process consisted of 3 major steps: the 1st step is the preparation and supporting the structure of process, the 2nd step is the enhancing pre-service teachers ability in designing instruction through cycle of problems solving; which include 5 steps; divided into two stages: the first is identifying a pre-service teachers instructional design problems, which was conducted in Step I: Community Building and Step II: Problem Identification, and the second is a cycle of problems solving, which was conducted in Step III: Planning for self-improving in Designing, Step IV: Practicing in designing instruction, and Step V: Applying Instruction, and the 3rd step of the process is the setting of Self-Actuation for performing consistently over the long term. 2. Pre-service teachers who participated in the process has the ability in designing instruction differs from their former ability, all of their problems in designing instruction have been resolved within the 3rd cycle of problems solving
