The research instruments included a training curriculum to enhance learning design based on the TPACK concept, a test measuring knowledge and understanding of learning design, and a satisfaction questionnaire toward the curriculum. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and dependent samples t-test.   The results revealed that the training curriculum consisted of key components including rationale, objectives, curriculum structure, training content, training activities, instructional media and learning resources, and measurement and evaluation, which were rated at a high level of appropriateness.
