Under the context of the recent curriculum reform in Mongolia emphasizing technology integration in schools, the main purpose of this study was to examine external and internal factors that influence teachers' use of technology. This study aimed to investigate structural relationships between school support, technology use, and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) among Mongolian secondary school teachers. This study was conducted with 208 secondary school teachers in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Data were collected through an instrument that measures three factors: teachers' use of technology, TPACK, and school support. The results indicate that TPACK has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between school support and the use of technology. The contribution of this study lies that it examines the complex relationships between internal and external factors affecting teachers' technology integration, especially among Mongolian teachers who are less researched in the existing literature.

The purpose of this study was to identify the actual condition and problems of Mongolian teacher quality management of selection and qualification and to recommend improvement. We examined the Mongolian teacher qualification management system with four criteria based on previous research. The results of this study are as follows. Mongolian government established quality management mechanisms such as selection of pre-service teachers, verification of teacher certificate, and appointment of in-service teachers, and teacher qualification standards. These Mongolian teacher selections and qualification systems were operated to attract the manpower required for teaching, to verify their qualifications and to induce professional development. However, the systems have not been able to verify the teachers' ability to practice in the field. We also found that the systems themselves were criticized for failing to guarantee conformity, fairness and transparency. Based on the results of this study, we discussed and draw policy implications for improvement of teacher quality management of selection and qualification in Mongolia.

In the 21stcentury, teachers must welcome new technology to ensure the best learning in virtual classrooms, aside from the physical classroom. Google Classroom provides a vital chance to promote blended learning and professional development. The purpose of this study is to specify the procedures in problem design when employing blended problem-based learning (BPBL) and to design problems for learning the contents of the subject. The design of problems is crucial for effective BPBL. The underlying theory of BPBL is that learning is most effectively initiated and facilitated by posing and solving real-life problems that interest the learner, because working on such problems makes learning meaningful and motivates students. Ineffective problem-based learning (PBL) could affect students when acquiring sufficient domain knowledge, activating appropriate prior knowledge, and properly directing their own learning. The procedures for designing good problems are composed of the selection of educational content, figuring out the learner's characteristics, finding problems, setting up roles and situations, and writing down problems. Using these procedures, we designed five integration problems covering the contents of management subjects. Planned management subjects based on BPBL in a Mongolian university focuses on the process of designing problems.

The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) based on Google Classroom(GC). GC is an easy and free online learning that plays an important role in education and training recently. Students become increasingly independent in self-directed learning while sharing ideas and resources, transferring knowledge actively across domains and researching for solutions to the given problem in PBL. Students can check the submission date on the task page and start the task with a single click, and teachers can quickly check if the task is complete, and score it directly from GC. Designed The Evaluation of Problem -Based Learning based on GC in this study. The students read the given materials and identify the purpose of the subjects and selected the learning issues, investigated them. After then they discuss the subjects and make the reports. The students work to study them with research papers, books and internet materials. The research findings showed that PBL based on GC was effective in learning together. Students had positive attitude in their PBL learning environment. This study suggests it is possible that the development of PBL Evaluation on the GC.

This study presents a model for blended problem-based learning (BPBL) for engineering colleges in Mongolia in order to efficiently train talented Mongolian specialists "With problem-solving skills for the current information technology era. BPBL is learner-centered teaching method that promotes learning. Moreover, current teaching methods in the engineering colleges of Mongolia should change to novel and flexible teaching environments and methods that meet learners' needs. Thus, using BPBL for engineering education development in Mongolia will provide more teaching possibilities, which will assist the professors. Over the past few years, universities in Mongolia have established the Center for Teacher Development, which provides training and gives advice to staff about teaching methods, although the majority of lectures are still fragmentary and anecdotal. Therefore, many professors teach the way they learned, and most teaching methods used up till now have been teacher-centered. However, modern college instructors and modem society demand different engineering teaching methods from teachers who are more familiar with old-fashioned methods. Furthermore, the methods should meet the needs of individuals and groups who prefer to apply technology in the engineering learning process. Using an effective engineering strategy in the development of a new engineering teaching method will lead to its success.
