Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the Darsak platform from the viewpoint of teachers in the Northwest Badia directorate, using specific criteria. Additionally, it sought to examine the differences in average scores among the study sample based on selected variables.

Methods:  The descriptive survey method was employed, utilizing 46 items based on 6 criteria, administered to 219 male and female teachers during the second semester of the academic year 2020/2021, selected randomly. 

Results: The results indicated that teachers' evaluation of Darsak platform was "average," with a mean of 3.01 and a standard deviation of 0.682. Statistical significance was observed in the evaluation among basic material teachers based on the educational stage they taught. Furthermore, differences were found in the criteria scores for male teachers in communication, interaction, content, and satisfaction. Similar variations were observed among teachers of literary materials concerning content and among primary school teachers in communication and interaction.

Conclusions: The study recommends enhancing Darsak platform's functions, particularly in improving communication and interaction, fostering student-teacher communication, and encouraging teacher engagement with management and colleagues.
