Abstract:

“​Background: The integration of education and technology (Edutech) has become significant in education.

Purpose: To explore the current state of formative assessment in nursing education and factors influencing technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) competencies.

Methods: A total of 216 novice nurse educators with <5 years of teaching experience in South Korea were surveyed online.

Results: Among these participants, 27.3% used Edutech-based formative assessment (EFA), highlighting its benefits in providing immediate feedback and accessibility, yet faced insufficient time, technical issues, and insufficient digital literacy as significant barriers. Completion of nursing education courses in a graduate program, EFA experience, and age were associated with TPACK competencies.

Conclusion: Implementing Edutech improves assessment processes and highlights the critical need for comprehensive technological training and support to improve digital literacy and TPACK competencies.”​
