dc.description.abstractThe quality and efficiency of professional learning communities lies on the interface between individual learners and social dimensions of the communities. The interaction between teachers' self-directed learning and the learning practices of a school community is a function which determines the nature of learning in school organizations. This study examined the interactive effect of teachers' self-directed learning and the learning practices of a school community on their organizational learning through a survey of 110 teachers in five elementary schools. Based on the predictions from a partial least squares latent variable approach, path analytic approaches were conducted to confirm the relations between the variables of this study: Teachers' self-directed learning, the practices of a professional community, and organizational learning.
