Abstract

This study sought to determine the requirements for employing educational platforms in public education schools in the Sultanate of Oman from point of view of the school principals and their assistants, teachers, and computer technicians. In order to achieve its objectives and answer its questions, the researcher used the descriptive approach by constructing a questionnaire addressed to government school principals and their assistants, teachers, and computer technicians in the educational governorates (Muscat - North Al Batinah - Al Dakhiliyah - North Al Sharqiah). Where the study sample consisted of (432) individuals, and the results showed a very high degree of approval of the necessary requirements mentioned by the study to employ educational platforms. The general average of the paragraphs and areas of these requirements was (4.48), and all areas came with a very high degree of agreement, as all the averages of the fields exceeded (4.3), which confirms the importance of these requirements from the point of view of the sample. The results also showed the absence of statistically significant differences due to the respondent's gender, educational level and job title on the study sample members' estimates of the level of requirements contained in the study while statistically significant differences appeared due to the number of years of experience of the respondent. The sample members with experience (19 years and above) indicated that they have a higher level of (human and technical requirements) necessary to employ electronic educational platforms in the educational process in public education schools in the Sultanate of Oman. In light of these results, the study recommended a number of recommendations.
