Training Needs of General Education Teachers in Light of Knowledge Management: A Field Study of a Sample of Teachers in Schools under the Souq Al-Jumaa Education Monitoring Office in Tripoli

Abstract

 This study aimed to determine the training needs of general education female teachers in Libya in light of knowledge management. To achieve this, the study adopted a descriptive approach, as it is the most appropriate method for this type of research. Data were gathered using a researcher-constructed questionnaire comprising (36) items distributed across (3) main domains: (knowledge generation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge application). The instrument was administered to a convenience sample of (52) female teachers.

Following the statistical analysis of the collected data via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version (25), the study reached several key findings, most notably: the existence of a moderate level of training needs across all three domains. Specifically, the "knowledge application" domain ranked first with a moderate degree, followed by "knowledge generation," which also yielded a moderate degree, and finally "knowledge dissemination," scoring at a moderate level as well. In light of these results, the study recommends the development of training programs that specifically emphasize the skill-based aspects of generating, disseminating, and applying knowledge within classroom practices.
