Background<\/strong>: Family Medicine educators play a vital role in the age of Universal Health in the Philippines to strengthen the competencies of primary care providers through education and training; hence the need for pedagogy and content to harmonise with technology in the midst of modern-day global trends and standards, and of the changing needs of 21st century learners. These educators benefit from quality improvement methods that begin with benchmarking and monitoring though valid and reliable measurements.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/strong>: This study aimed to develop a measurement tool for the attitudes of Family Medicine educators in optimising the use of technology in education by using the methodological development steps in creating assessment tools including content & face validation and modification of items generated from various behavioural models and a validated tool; simplifying the tool through factor analysis; and determining the reliability of its final version.<\/p>\n

Results & Conclusion<\/strong>: The study was able to create a questionnaire of 26 validated items with an overall internal consistency of 0.932, distributed into six subscales with beyond-satisfactory-to- excellent reliabilities.<\/p>\n
