Abstract

The research aimed to develop a groundbreaking educational innovation by creating an online self-training program specifically designed for teachers. This program aims to significantly enhance their coaching skills, empowering them to apply this newfound knowledge within their classrooms effectively. Structured around two primary initiatives, the program first emphasizes teacher self-development. It offers a comprehensive learning experience through seven meticulously crafted modules, each designed to equip educators with crucial coaching competencies. The second initiative focuses on translating these skills into practical applications with students, fostering an interactive and engaging learning environment. The research employed a 5-step Research and Development (R&D) methodology to ensure a robust framework. This rigorous process culminated in an experimental design featuring a one-group pretest-posttest model implemented within a school setting. The experimental group consisted of nine dedicated teachers and 113 enthusiastic students, providing a varied landscape for testing the program’s effectiveness. The findings were promising, revealing that the developed educational innovation, titled “Online Self-Training Program for Promoting the Self-Development of Teachers to Refine the Coaching Skills that Enhance Taking Action in the Classroom,” successfully fulfilled the established criteria for effectiveness. This positive outcome indicates that the program is well-conceived and ready for broader dissemination in targeted schools, potentially transforming teaching practices and improving student outcomes.
