Abstract
This study aims to (1) develop mentoring model through Professional Learning Community (PLC) with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) via Cloud Computing for pre-service teachers and (2) evaluate an appropriateness of the mentoring model through PLC with ICT via Cloud Computing for pre-service teachers. Seven information technology and education experts selected by purposive sampling method were participate in the study. Moreover, they evaluated the appropriate of the design and provided suggestions. The research instruments used were: (1) a draft of Mentoring model through PLC with ICT via Cloud Computing for pre-service teachers’ model. (2) an appropriate evaluation forms. Data analysis was done by mean (x̄), standard deviation (S.D.), and content analysis. From the results research, the draft of model was found to be high appropriate (x̄ = 4.15, S.D.= 0.38). A model for mentoring through PLC in 6 steps was obtained, including community, analysis, design, practice, reflection and evaluation. All these steps have been operated with the ICT system via Cloud Computing including E-Management, E-Meeting, E-Coaching and Mentoring, E-Documents, and E- Evaluation.
