The success of organizations in achieving their objectives depends on the capabilities and active participation of their employees, a factor that is particularly critical in education due to the central role of teachers. This study aimed to design and evaluate a prototype of an interactive software to enhance professional interaction and educational engagement among teachers. The research employed a mixed-methods design with a design–development approach. In the qualitative phase, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 educational supervisors and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis identified 13 initial themes, which were subsequently organized into five main teacher need categories: professional interaction and collaboration, professional learning and development, student educational support, organizational participation, and information dissemination. Based on this framework, nine key software features were designed: Teacher Collaboration, Communication with Supervisors, Training Courses, Content Bank, Teacher Publications, Suggestions and Feedback, Ministry Meetings, Student Support, and Announcements.
The prototype was developed in Figma and evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Analysis with SPSS and a one-sample t-test revealed a mean usability score of 73.41, exceeding the acceptable benchmark of 68. The difference between the sample mean and the reference value was statistically significant (p = 0.001), indicating high user satisfaction and the effectiveness of the software in facilitating teacher interaction and collaboration. However, the study has limitations, including the small qualitative sample and the lack of practical implementation in a real educational setting. Future research is recommended to involve a larger population and to evaluate a fully operational version of the software.
