20.500.12556/RUP-21337 Evaluating the digital transformation in healthsciences education a thematic analysisof higher education teachers’ perspectives The rapid shift to digital-based education has profoundly influenced pedagogical approaches in health scienceshigher education. This transformation has prompted a critical re-evaluation of digital pedagogy to improve learningeffectiveness and adapt to emerging educational realities. This study explored the perspectives of health sciencesteachers on digital pedagogy in higher education, with a specific focus on their adaptation to and perception ofintegrating digital technologies in pedagogical processes. A qualitative research design utilizing thematic analysiswas employed. The study involved twenty health sciences teachers in higher education institutions through fourfocus group sessions. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified: (1) Digitaltransformation in education, (2) Educational efficacy and evolution, and (3) Overcoming barriers and embracingopportunities. These themes have shown that the introduction of technology is closely linked to pedagogicalinnovation, as digital tools have transformed educational practise by enabling more interactive, flexible and learner-centred approaches. Additionally, they highlighted the challenges of integrating new technologies into existingeducational frameworks. Digital pedagogy in health sciences education remains a dynamic field that demandscontinuous adaptation and development. To effectively integrate digital tools, teachers need robust supportthrough professional development. This support is essential for creating engaging, inclusive, and effective learningenvironments. Addressing technological disparities and enhancing digital literacy are critical for fully harnessing thepotential of digital education. e-learning didactics health sciences education technology-enhanced learning professional development e-učenje didaktika izobraževanje na področju zdravstvenih ved s tehnologijo podprto učenje strokovni razvoj true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-06-08 20:32:29 2025-06-08 20:32:30 2025-06-16 00:27:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-11 [article no.] 820 Vol. 25 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-06-02 614.2:37 1472-6920 10.1186/s12909-025-07420-3 238647555 https://bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12909-025-07420-3 1 e0b0e22d-4496-11f0-bc14-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31022 Fakulteta za vede o zdravju 0 0 0
