摘要 This study aims to investigate the relationships among community characteristics, community barriers, and teaching effectiveness. Furthermore, this study examines the effect of the background variables of the professional learning community and the participating junior high teachers on community characteristics and teaching effectiveness. The study also explores the moderate effect of community barriers on the relationship between community characteristics and teaching effectiveness. This is a quantitative research. The population consists of 487 junior high schools teachers in Yilan County who voluntarily participated in the professional learning community program. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data and a total of 343 returns were valid for data analysis (valid return rate: 70.43%). Statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and stepwise multiple regression were used for data analysis. The study finds that: (1) the majority of professional learning community for junior high school teachers in Yilan was for teachers teaching the same domain of subject, aiming to improve their instructional skills as well as professional competence in a theoretical way; (2) the current teachers’ perception of community characteristics and teaching effectiveness were above the upper middle level. Yet the community barriers were perceived low; (3) the content of professional learning community showed a significant and positive effect on community characteristics and teaching effectiveness; (4) community characteristic positively and significantly affected teaching effectiveness; (5) community barrier did not show a significant moderating effect on the relationship between community characteristics and teaching effectiveness.
