An Application of the Professional Learning Community Approach to Developing the Learning Process and Enhancing Academic Achievement in the Mathematics and Science Teaching of the Primary School Student

Teachers need to take action in terms of acquiring, creating and transferring their knowledge to students based on the professional learning community approach. This involves building a learning community in their mathematics and science classrooms. This research revealed that all teachers employed the research-based teaching technique to the learning process of students. Teachers and students enjoyed a mutually positive attitude and actively participated to create their learning activities. Ultimately, students developed their academic skills and knowledge in mathematics and science. However, schools needed academic technicians and facilitators to sustain a professional learning community in their schools.
