Redesigning Website to Support Teacher Professional Development through Empowered Community
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to identify effective Teacher Professional Development (TPD) activities facilitated by LPTK and to design a supportive website to host these activities. Method: The research was conducted using an agile development method, encompassing iterative stages, including initiation, requirement gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, and review. Results: The findings revealed that three main categories of TPD activities integrated into the platform: (1) comprehensive training programs, both structured and user-tailored; (2) interactive features such as forums, symposiums, research collaborations, and continuous support through empowered communities; and (3) certification and publication modules for training outcomes and scholarly work. The website design features essential components such as user dashboards, program access, user-contributed work, community forums, certification tools, and news sections. Functional testing showed that all features operated as intended during user experience (UX), particularly in ensuring seamless access to TPD programs and sustained peer interaction. However, improvements in user interface (UI) remains necessary to enhance visual appeal and user engagement. Novelty: This study contributes a sustainable digital platform for teacher professional development. It highlights key values such as empowerment, collaboration, and accessible participation among teachers, academics, and practitioners.
