Abstract: Educational institutions regardless of context have been compelled to embed blended teaching as one of the orthodox instructional modes. The precursor for successful implementation of blended teaching is insight into current teacher competence with blended teaching and enhancement measures needed. This paper examines the perception of teachers on the current status of blended teaching competence and the relationship between participation in professional learning communities and blended teaching competence enhancement among high school teachers in Vietnam. The data comprised high school teachers’ impressions of blended teaching in high schools, collected through survey questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and Pearson Correlation. Findings reveal that teachers perceive the current status of blended teaching competence for high school teachers in Vietnam as moderate. Findings also unveil a very low positive but statistically significant relationship between participation in professional learning communities and blended teaching competence enhancement. This meaningful relationship serves as the foundation for broadening this study’s scope to include the investigation of establishing a professional learning community that meets the needs of teachers in blended teaching competence enhancement. This research initiates to help instructors raise awareness about the significance of blended teaching in the context of today's digital change in education. The suggestions are supplied to stakeholders as a valuable option for implementing and assisting teachers in developing blended teaching competence.
