The results of the study show that there are positive correlations between proactive personality network intention, professional learning and change in teacher practice. Also, the study revealed that proactive personality has positive effects on the network intentions; network intentions has a both direct and indirect effect on the change in teacher practice. These results explicitly indicated that change in teacher practice is closely associated with teacher professional learning, teacher personality, and network intentions. Because of the change in teacher practice is closely related to group dynamics and learning, planning a change strategy about understanding the role of learning and having a relationship with a colleague is so crucial for schools.
