This research aims to 1) study the actual situation, expected situation, and approaches to enhancing the teaching competence of teachers under the Prachinburi Primary Educational Service Area Office 2; 2) develop a blended supervision model to enhance teachers' teaching competence; and 3) study the effectiveness of using the blended supervision model to enhance teachers' teaching competence. It is a mixed-methods research. The sample group consisted of 278 teachers, educational supervision experts, and 30 teachers who participated in the pilot project.
