Hızla gelişen ve değişen teknoloji ile birlikte içinde bulunduğumuz dönemde eğitim teknolojilerinden etkin bir şekilde faydalanma önem kazanmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin bu gelişim ve değişime uyum sağlama isteği, 21. yüzyıl öğretmen yeterliliklerinin geliştirilmesini mesleki gelişim boyutunda daha gerekli hale getirmektedir. Mesleki gelişimi destekleyebilecek önemli bir örnek olma özelliği taşıyan Araştırma Topluluğu Modeli, çevrimiçi öğrenme araştırmalarına ve uygulamalarına yol göstermesi amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Yapılandırmacı yaklaşım çerçevesinde geliştirilen modelin içerik odaklı ve bütünleştirmeye uygun bir mesleki gelişim ortamı sunduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Fakülte gelişim modellerinin öğretmenlerin bireysel gelişimleriyle olumlu yöndeki ilişkisi göz önüne alındığında çevrimiçi araştırma topluluklarının öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimlerinde de anlamlı öğrenmeler meydana getireceğini öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada araştırma toplulukları modeli ile mesleki gelişim arasındaki ilişki temele alınarak alanyazın taraması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma toplulukları modelinin mesleki gelişime etkileri ortaya konmaya çalışılmış ve bu amaçla alanyazındaki ilgili çalışmalardan toplanan bilgiler ışığında çeşitli noktalara değinilmiştir. Araştırma Toplulukları Modeli’ nin öğretmen mesleki gelişimi sürecinde yararlanılabilecek bir model olmasına yönelik kuramsal araştırmalar bulunmakla birlikte uygulamaya dönük çalışmaların yetersiz kaldığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çevrimiçi öğrenme kuramsal temellerine uygun ve 21.yy öğretmen, öğrenci özellikleriyle uyumlu modeller geliştirilmesine gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu gereksinimden hareketle, beş adımdan oluşan Araştırma Toplulukları ile Mesleki Gelişim için Ön Hazırlık Modeli oluşturulmuştur. Geliştirilen ön hazırlık modeli hazırbulunuşluk, motivasyon, okul kültürü, topluluk özellikleri ve içerik boyutlarını içermektedir.
