Abstract
Purpose: This research clarifies the direction and issues of research on competency related to the teaching activities of nursing science professors (hereinafter “professors”) through a review of domestic and foreign literature.
Method: CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, Ichushi-(Igaku Chuo Zasshi) Web, CiNii and J-STAGE databases were used to find literature using a combination of keywords such as “nursing faculty”, “competency” and “teaching or education”. Ultimately, 26 foreign references and 28 domestic references were sampled.
Results: Literature after 2010 has increased. Through an analysis of reference materials, we created fourteen categories and the following four themes: Characteristics of Teaching Competency, Development of Tools for Measuring Competency of Teaching Activities, Actual State of Competency for Teaching Activities, and Cultivation of Competency for Teaching Activities.
Conclusion: The creation, adaption and evaluation of evidence-based educational plans and implementing findings remain a challenge in fostering teaching competency among professors in the future.
