Abstract
Educators view knowledge as their most valuable resource. For many years, researchers have been suggesting that preparing engineering high school teachers should use information and communication technologies to facilitate learning, critical thinking, and discussions. Therefore, the main subject of this research is to develop new applications and capabilities of knowledge management (KM) technologies to support the digital capture, storage, retrieval, and distribution of explicitly teacher-documented knowledge. The research data were gathered by using literature reviews and self-evaluated questionnaires filled out by teachers. Participants who join the study should consider the knowledge application (KA) platform as a useful tool, and consequently, the knowledge platform revealed that its potential development to the teacher when it was implemented appropriately. In addition, after the questionnaire survey, the participants demonstrated positive and affirmative attitudes towards the KA platform.
