In line with the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0, teachers must also try to improve competencies by the demands of the times. The Science Teacher Community is a very relevant vehicle for building the profession of science education. Descriptive research has been carried out to observe the profile of activity in the Science Teacher Community, from excellence to limitations. The results of the observations can recommend solutions to improve the quality of Science Teacher Community activities to be able to accelerate the achievement of teacher competencies. The study was conducted by distributing open questionnaires to 38 science teachers in the urban area of the Regency. Content questions related to Science Teacher Community activities needed. The results of the study show some weaknesses in Science Teacher Community activities. Most respondents stated that there were time and distance constraints when participating in Science Teacher Community activities. Respondents were able to review their weaknesses in content (about physics), management and pedagogical practices of related content in developing 21st-century skills. They also showed weaknesses in IT usage. The recommended recommendation is to manage the practice of Science Teacher Community activities based on blended learning, focusing on efforts to overcome weaknesses in content and pedagogy content knowledge (PCK). © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
