The objective of this study was to create an “An Online Program to Enhance Teacher Learning to Develop Students' Self-Directed Learning Skills” based upon the following concepts: “Develop the teacher so that they will develop their students,” “Successful teachers, successful students,” and “Knowledge is not power; knowledge plus action equals power." This study employed Research and Development (R&D) methodology, and the created online program consisted of the following: 1) a project for Teachers’ learning development with six online sets of instructions, and 2) a project for the Teachers to assist in developing students with one set of online action instructions. The created online program was examined by 25 teachers and 146 students in a randomly selected school, which represented the Pariyattidhamma Schools in the General Education section, which is under the National Office of Buddhism. The results validated the fact that the created online program had been effective. The findings illustrated that the post-development test for teachers had met the standard of the 90/90 criteria, and that the mean score had been statistically significantly higher than before the development. In addition, the students’ mean score on the assessment of the self-directed learning skills after the development had been statistically significantly higher than before the development. This indicated that the created online program could be disseminated for educational use in other Pariyattidhamma schools with a similar target population.

This research aimed at developing and implementing an online program to empower teacher’s knowledge regarding students’ collaborative skills development by using Research and Development (R&D) methodology. It is based on the concept of “Develop teacher’s learning and implement the outcomes into student development.” It consisted of two projects as follows: 1) Collaborative skills learning for the teacher development project, and 2) Implementing the teacher’s collaborative skills learning outcomes with student project. The first project was created along with a set of six-manuals for teacher development including definitions, important aspects, qualifications, developmental approaches, developmental processes, and the assessment of collaborative skills manuals. The second project included an action manual for implementing the teacher’s learning outcomes for student development. The online program was examined at the Pariyattidhamma School, which had been selected as research site. The findings revealed that after completing the first teacher development project, the teachers had achieved learning outcomes in accordance with the 90/90 standard. In addition, the learning outcomes after development had been statistically significantly higher than attending the project. Moreover, after the second project, the students’ collaborative skills assessment results were found to be statistically significantly higher than before. Therefore, the online program produced in this study is an educational innovation that provides effectiveness and should be beneficial for learning at other Pariyattidhamma schools.
