Abstract—The objective of this research is to synthesize the model for enhancing creative thinking using the problem-based learning and pairs learning method with scaffolding system via computer network (PBLPSC) to be used in setting the model in developing the learning via computer network in Electronic Learning Development course for the students of Computer Education Program, Rajabhat Rajanagarindra University by using Focus Group Discussion from 13 experts. Specification of expert group, researcher has defined qualifications of experts as follow; being an expert in Computer Education or Online Learning or Creative Thinking and having teaching responsibility in university or having working experience for five years or more. Expert selection in conducted by the specific method the second semester of 2016 Academic Year. The research results reveal that the learning model of PBLPSC consists of 7 components; 1) Teacher Module, 2) Content Module, 3) Student Module, 4) PBLPS Learning Module, 5) Communication Module, 6) Creative Thinking & Activity Module, and 7) Assessment Module. The results of evaluation on the appropriateness of teaching style reveal that the experts admit the proposed teaching style at high level (Mean = 4.40, SD. = 0.68). It can be summarized that such model can be applied as the prototype in developing the learning model of PBLPSC further.
