 Abstract:

The purposes of the research were to develop a model of active learning management for teachers in small-sized schools and implement the model. The research methodology was divided into two phases: In the 1st phase, a model of active learning management was designed and developed, and the model was assessed by seven experts and key informants. In the 2nd phase, the model was implemented through the action research principles to thirteen teachers. The research findings showed that the model of active learning management for teachers in small-sized schools consisted of five steps of the active learning management model: PLC Team, Brainstorming, learning by doing, Sharing and Feedback and Reflection. The research results indicated that the knowledge and the average skill of the teachers for active learning management are more than the established criteria. The overall satisfaction of the teachers was at a very high level.
