Professional competencies, electronic platform - the school windowAbstract
This study aims to develop the professional competencies of the faculty members at Al-Iman Private School by designing an electronic platform called “The School Window for the Palestinian and Arab World.” The sample represented faculty members at the school, where the study curriculum was applied comprehensively, including design and application of the electronic platform and evaluation of its impact. The study highlighted important results, including improving teaching skills, increasing interaction between faculty members, and improving the quality of available educational resources. In addition, the study showed the importance of integrating technology into the education process and achieving communication with Palestinian and Arab educational resources. The study concluded that the use of the electronic platform can be of great benefit in developing the professional competencies of faculty members, and provides recommendations to strengthen and expand these initiatives in the future, such as enhancing training and ongoing support for teachers on the use of technology in education and expanding the range of available digital educational resources.
