Abstract  
This research aims to 1) develop the Formative Assessment Platform (FAP) to assess and enhance 
learners' competencies, and 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the FAP platform in fostering students' 
competencies across 100 schools in four provinces of Thailand: Surin, Sa Kaeo, Krabi, and 
Lampang. The FAP platform enables teachers to monitor student behaviors, record data, and 
provide personalized feedback, targeting four core competencies: critical thinking, creativity, 
collaboration, and communication. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study employed a pre-
test and post-test design with quantitative data from 197 teachers and 2,454 students. Qualitative 
data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with teachers. The results show that 
teachers were highly satisfied with the FAP platform (average satisfaction score of 4.54 out of 5), 
particularly in terms of ease of use (4.71) and perceived benefits (4.65). Students demonstrated 
significant competency development, especially in collaboration (effect size = 0.71) and creativity 
(effect size = 0.65), with an overall effect size of 0.57. The study recommends scaling up the FAP 
platform to further enhance Thai education quality by improving teacher training, supporting the 
integration of the platform, and developing competency-focused curricula. Future research should 
explore the long-term impact of FAP on student outcomes, compare its effectiveness with other 
platforms, and investigate factors influencing its sustained use.

communication, problem-solving, and a commitment to lifelong learning 1. This alignment with 

educational policies globally, such as Thailand’s National Education Policy, emphasizes nurturing 

“good, skilled, and happy individuals,” equipping them with competencies fitting 21st-century 

demands 2. 

Emerging literature underscores the inadequacy of traditional assessment methods, 

characterized by rote memorization and summative examinations, in capturing the complex 

competencies required in modern educational contexts 3. As Clarke et al. 4noted in their 

bibliometric analysis of medical research, traditional assessment strategies can lead to a 

misrepresentation of potential 5. Consequently, these conventional methodologies often fail to 

facilitate the assessment of students' critical thinking and collaborative skills essential for success 

in an ever-evolving landscape 6. This inadequacy indicates a palpable need to shift towards more 

effective assessment models, primarily formative assessment 7. 

Formative assessment, which centers on continuous feedback and systematic tracking of 

student progress, has become increasingly recognized for its ability to transform educational 

experiences. Recent studies, including a comprehensive analysis by Obeidat et al. 8, demonstrate 

the significant impact of formative assessments on student learning outcomes, enhancing both 

academic performance and critical competencies 9. Furthermore, integrating digital technologies 

into these assessments enhances the efficiency of data collection and permits a more granular 

analysis of complex skills, including teamwork and problem-solving capabilities 10. For instance,

Santini et al. 11 argue that leveraging technology can create more effective environments for student 

engagement and skill development 12. 

In light of these insights, we propose the development of a Formative Assessment 

Platform (FAP), a digital tool tailored to align competency-based learning outcomes with global 

educational trends emphasizing skill development. This platform offers educators the capacity to 

observe real-time student behaviors, record pertinent data, and receive analytical feedback to 

inform targeted interventions 13. The significance of leveraging technology in educational 

assessment has been highlighted by many, including González-Zamar et al. 14, who posit that digital 

tools can enhance educational efficacy and address existing assessment gaps effectively 15. 

The present research aims to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of the FAP in enhancing 

learners’ competencies. Specifically, it will measure teacher satisfaction with the platform and 

assess changes in student competencies facilitated through its use. The methodology will employ 

a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative assessments of student performance alongside 

qualitative feedback from educators to form a comprehensive picture of the platform’s impact 16. 

This approach is particularly justified given the rise of educational technologies that have shaped 

contemporary teaching practices, as evidenced by productivity analyses 17. 

Furthermore, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational reform 

and competence development, particularly through the use of digital assessment tools. As 

Tamasiga et al. 18 suggest, the alignment of education with technological advancements is not only 

vital for enhancing learning outcomes but also for preparing students to meet the challenges of a 

rapidly changing world 19. Moreover, the expectation that educational institutions will do more

than merely relay knowledge is supported by recent trends indicating that student competencies in 

critical thinking and collaboration are paramount 20. 

Thus, this research endeavors to fill the existing gaps in educational assessment through 

the implementation of the FAP, ultimately reflecting a broader paradigm shift towards the 

development of well-rounded learners equipped to address the complexities of an increasingly 

interconnected global environment. The findings will have significant implications for educational 

practices by informing educators and policymakers of the potential for digital assessment 

technologies to improve learning outcomes and align educational practices with 21st-century skills. 

 

Method 

This research adopts an evaluative design utilizing a mixed-methods approach, combining

Teacher Satisfaction Questionnaire 

A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire (1 = Very Dissatisfied, 5 = Very Satisfied) was used to 

measure teacher satisfaction with the FAP platform. The questionnaire underwent validity and 

reliability testing, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to ensure internal 

consistency. The dimensions assessed included ease of use, benefits received, team support, and 

the appropriateness of the platform for the teaching context. 

 

Competency Assessment 

A four-dimensional competency assessment was used to measure student competencies in 

critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication before and after the use of the FAP 

platform. The assessment included clear scoring criteria, and validity and reliability tests were 

conducted to ensure that it effectively measures the intended competencies. 

 

Semi-Structured Interviews 

Interviews were conducted with sample teachers to collect qualitative data regarding their 

experiences and perceptions of using the FAP platform. The interviews were semi-structured, 

allowing for flexibility while ensuring that the research objectives were met. Qualitative data from 

the interviews were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify key themes and patterns. 

 

Research Steps 

1. Training 

Teachers received detailed training on using the FAP platform, including the various 

assessment tools available. The training duration and content were designed to ensure that 

teachers were fully equipped to use the platform effectively. A support system was set up 

to address any issues that arose during the implementation phase. 

2. Implementation 

The platform was used by teachers for one semester. During this period, teachers applied 

the FAP platform in their teaching practices, with ongoing monitoring and support 

through regular consultations. The duration of this phase was critical to ensure that 

teachers had ample opportunity to integrate the platform into their teaching processes. 

3. Data Collection 

Data were collected through several instruments: teacher satisfaction questionnaires, pre-

test and post-test competency assessments of students, and semi-structured teacher 

interviews. The data collection period was defined, and methods for ensuring data 

accuracy, such as cross-checking and ensuring the consistency of responses, were 

implemented. 

4. Data Analysis 

Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize the results, and 

effect sizes were calculated to assess the impact of the FAP platform on student 

competencies. Qualitative data from the teacher interviews were analyzed through content 

analysis, using coding techniques to identify major themes and patterns in the responses.

Data were analyzed using software such as SPSS for quantitative analysis and NVivo for 

qualitative content analysis. 

 

Limitations of the Study 

The study has several limitations. First, the use of convenience sampling for school selection 

may reduce the generalizability of the results. Additionally, the reliance on self-reported data from 

teachers may introduce response bias. Finally, the data collection period was limited to one 

semester, which may not capture the long-term effects of the FAP platform on student 

competencies. 

 

Reliability and Validity 

The reliability of the instruments was ensured through pre-testing and validation. The 

teacher satisfaction questionnaire and competency assessments were validated through expert 

review and tested for internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha. The mixed-methods design 

allowed for triangulation of data, increasing the robustness of the findings and improving the 

overall validity of the study. 

 

Results and Discussion 

The results of this study are presented in two primary sections: the quantitative data 

analysis related to teacher satisfaction and student competency development, and the qualitative 

analysis derived from teacher interviews. Together, these provide a comprehensive overview of 

the impact of the Formative Assessment Platform (FAP) on teaching and learning practices. 

 

Teacher Satisfaction with the Use of the FAP Platform 

Quantitative analysis of the teacher satisfaction questionnaires (N = 197) revealed that 

teachers were highly satisfied with the use of the FAP platform. The results show that most 

teachers found the platform to be useful in improving teaching management and facilitating 

student competency assessment. The statistical analysis of teacher satisfaction, summarized in 

Table 1, highlights the following findings: 

Table 1: Quantitative Analysis of Teacher Satisfaction (N = 197 teachers) 

Satisfaction Dimensions Average SD p-value 

Ease of use 4.71 0.55 < 0.001 

Benefits received 4.65 0.58 < 0.001 

Team support 4.38 0.71 < 0.001 

Design and aesthetics of the system 4.45 0.65 < 0.001 

Overall satisfaction with the platform 4.54 0.62 < 0.001 

 

The analysis indicates that all dimensions of teacher satisfaction are statistically significant 

(p < 0.001), demonstrating that the results are not due to chance. The average satisfaction score 

in all dimensions exceeded 4 out of a maximum of 5, signifying a high level of teacher satisfaction 

with the platform. Ease of use (4.71) and benefits received (4.65) were the highest-rated 

dimensions, suggesting that teachers found the platform intuitive and beneficial for their teaching 

practices. These findings emphasize the user-friendliness of the system and its perceived value in

supporting teaching management and assessment tasks. 

 

Student Competency Development 

Quantitative analysis of the impact of the FAP platform on student competencies revealed 

significant improvements in all measured competencies. The overall effect size for student 

competency development was 0.57, indicating a moderate to large effect. The results, presented in 

Table 2, show the effect sizes for each competency dimension: 

Table 2: Quantitative Analysis of Student Competency Development (N = 2,454 students) 

Competency Effect Size SD 

Critical Thinking 0.36 0.53 

Creativity 0.65 0.39 

Collaboration 0.71 0.27 

Communication 0.67 0.41 

1. Critical Thinking: The effect size of 0.36 is moderate, indicating some improvement but 

suggesting that more time or targeted interventions might be required to significantly boost 

critical thinking skills. 

2. Creativity: With an effect size of 0.65, creativity saw substantial growth, suggesting that the 

platform has a positive impact on fostering creative problem-solving skills. 

3. Collaboration: The highest effect size of 0.71 for collaboration reflects the FAP’s 

significant role in enhancing students' ability to work together effectively. 

4. Communication: An effect size of 0.67 suggests considerable improvement in students' 

communication skills, aligning with the importance of these competencies in 21st-century 

education. 

 

The results show that the FAP platform was particularly effective in developing collaboration 

and creativity, both of which are critical skills in the modern workforce. The platform’s structure 

appears to facilitate collaborative learning and creativity through its interactive feedback 

mechanisms, real-time data collection, and personalized guidance. However, critical thinking 

demonstrated a moderate effect size, which could be attributed to the more complex nature of this 

competency and its requirement for deeper, sustained engagement. 

 

Discussion 

The results of this study highlight the significant impact of the Formative Assessment 

Platform (FAP) in enhancing both teacher satisfaction and student competency development. In 

this section, we will delve deeper into the findings, exploring their implications in the context of 

existing literature, theoretical frameworks, and current educational practices. This discussion will 

critically engage with the results, compare them with similar studies, and provide insights into the 

broader implications for the future of education, particularly in the context of formative 

assessment and educational technology. 

 

Teacher Satisfaction and Usability of the FAP Platform 

The high levels of teacher satisfaction, as reflected in the statistical results, demonstrate that 

the FAP platform is well-received by educators. The platform’s ease of use and the clear benefits 



 
 

  
 
  

Volume 9, Number 1, May 2025| 60 

 

  

it provides for teaching management were the most highly rated features. These results align with 

previous studies, which emphasize the importance of user-friendly educational technologies in 

facilitating adoption and successful implementation 21. In particular, the ease of use (4.71) and 

perceived benefits (4.65) are consistent with the findings of Clarke et al. 22 , who found that 

platforms that streamline teacher workflow and provide actionable insights into student progress 

lead to increased teacher satisfaction and engagement. These dimensions of satisfaction are critical 

for the long-term success of any educational tool, as teachers' willingness to adopt and integrate 

new technologies often hinges on the perceived ease of use and the tangible benefits they offer. 

The results suggest that the FAP platform's design and interface effectively meet the needs 

of teachers, making it an efficient tool for formative assessment. This aligns with Hollebeek et al. 

(2021), who argue that successful educational technologies must not only offer functionality but 

also enhance the overall user experience. The platform's focus on user-friendly features that reduce 

administrative burdens for teachers is a key strength, as it allows educators to focus more on 

instructional practices rather than on the technical aspects of data collection and analysis. 

However, one area for potential improvement is the team support dimension, which scored 

lower than the other categories (4.38). While still statistically significant (p < 0.001), this result 

suggests that teachers may benefit from more structured support mechanisms, such as dedicated 

technical assistance or professional development opportunities that enable them to maximize the 

platform’s potential. This finding aligns with the literature, which stresses the importance of 

continuous professional development in the successful integration of digital tools into teaching 

practices (Santo et al., 2022). 

 

Impact on Student Competency Development 

The quantitative results indicate that the FAP platform significantly contributed to the 

development of student competencies, particularly in collaboration, creativity, and 

communication, with high effect sizes (0.71, 0.65, and 0.67, respectively). These findings 

underscore the platform’s effectiveness in fostering key 21st-century skills, which have been widely 

recognized as essential for student success in both academic and professional settings 23. The high 

effect sizes in collaboration and creativity are especially notable, as these competencies are often 

difficult to assess using traditional assessment methods. The FAP’s ability to provide real-time, 

data-driven insights into these competencies suggests that formative assessment platforms can 

effectively support the development of skills that are central to modern education 24 . 

The focus on collaboration is particularly timely, given the growing emphasis on teamwork 

in today’s interconnected and globalized world. The results of this study support previous research

by Vural & Vural 25, who found that digital formative assessment tools can facilitate collaborative 

learning by enabling students to engage with peers in structured, feedback-driven environments. 

The high effect size for collaboration in this study reflects the ability of the FAP platform to create 

environments where students work together, reflect on their learning, and engage in problem-

solving tasks. This suggests that the FAP platform is an effective tool for promoting collaborative 

competencies, which are crucial for students' future success in the workplace. 

Creativity, another high-effect-size competency, also aligns with the increasing focus on 

creative problem-solving in education. The ability to foster creativity is critical in a world where 

innovation is key to addressing complex global challenges. The FAP platform’s design, which 

offers personalized feedback and allows for self-reflection, likely contributed to the enhancement 

of students' creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. These findings support the assertions 

of Santini et al. 26 , who argue that educational technologies that provide immediate feedback and 

opportunities for self-directed learning can help students develop higher-order thinking skills like 

creativity. 

However, the effect size for critical thinking (0.36) was moderate, indicating that while the 

FAP platform had some impact on critical thinking, it may not have been as effective in this 

domain as in others. Critical thinking is often considered a complex competency that requires 

sustained instructional interventions over time. This finding is consistent with prior studies, which 

have noted that fostering critical thinking requires deliberate, long-term efforts and more intensive 

engagement with challenging, higher-order cognitive tasks 27. The moderate effect size for critical 

thinking suggests that further development of the FAP platform, possibly through the 

incorporation of more targeted activities focused on critical thinking, could lead to stronger 

outcomes in this area. 

 

The Role of Technology in Formative Assessment 

The integration of digital technology in formative assessment, as exemplified by the FAP 

platform, represents a significant shift from traditional assessment models that primarily focus on 

summative evaluation. The FAP platform's ability to provide real-time, personalized feedback is 

one of its most significant advantages, as it enables both teachers and students to track progress 

continuously and make adjustments as needed. This aligns with the work of Mauluddiyah 28 and 

Obeidat et al. 29, who have highlighted the transformative potential of digital formative assessment 

tools in improving both teaching and learning outcomes. By providing detailed, actionable 

feedback, the FAP platform not only enhances student competencies but also empowers students 

to take ownership of their learning journey.

education, particularly in the context of competency-based education, where the focus is on 

developing specific skills rather than simply measuring academic knowledge. The ability to track 

and assess competencies such as collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking in real-time makes 

the FAP platform an invaluable resource for teachers aiming to foster 21st-century skills. However, 

the effectiveness of such platforms depends on their ability to adapt to the specific needs of 

students and the teaching context, which requires ongoing development and refinement of the 

tools. 

 

Implications for Educational Practice and Future Research 

The results of this study suggest that the FAP platform has significant potential to improve 

educational practices, particularly in fostering essential 21st-century competencies. The platform's 

high effectiveness in promoting collaboration and creativity aligns with global trends in education 

that prioritize these skills. However, the moderate effect size for critical thinking indicates that 

additional efforts may be required to enhance the platform's ability to foster higher-order cognitive 

skills. This finding suggests the need for further research into the specific features and 

functionalities that could strengthen the platform’s support for critical thinking development. 

Furthermore, the high levels of teacher satisfaction with the FAP platform suggest that 

educational technologies can be a valuable tool in improving teaching management and providing 

targeted feedback. However, the concerns raised by teachers about the sustainability of the 

platform and the need for continuous support highlight the importance of creating robust 

professional development programs for educators. To ensure the long-term success of digital 

formative assessment tools like the FAP platform, continuous teacher training, support, and 

system updates will be essential. 

Future research should aim to explore the long-term impact of the FAP platform on student 

competencies, particularly in areas like critical thinking. Longitudinal studies could provide 

valuable insights into how the platform influences the development of skills over time. 

Additionally, further research should focus on the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of 

the platform, such as the role of teacher training, institutional support, and student engagement. 

Comparative studies that evaluate the FAP platform against other educational technologies could 

help identify the unique advantages and limitations of the platform, contributing to the broader 

conversation on the role of digital tools in education. 

 

Conclusion 

This study highlights the substantial potential of the Formative Assessment Platform (FAP) 

in enhancing both teacher satisfaction and student competency development. The findings 

underscore the platform's efficacy in fostering key 21st-century competencies, particularly 

collaboration, creativity, and communication, which are essential for preparing students for future 

success in an increasingly complex and dynamic workforce. Teachers expressed high satisfaction 

with the platform’s usability, benefits, and the support it provided, suggesting that digital formative 

assessment tools can significantly improve teaching practices and student learning outcomes.

The study also demonstrated that the FAP platform effectively addresses critical gaps in 

traditional educational assessment methods by offering personalized feedback, tracking student 

progress in real-time, and focusing on the development of competencies beyond academic 

knowledge. These findings are consistent with current trends in competency-based education, 

which prioritize skills such as collaboration and creativity, alongside traditional academic 

achievement. The positive results, particularly in fostering collaboration and creativity, offer 

valuable insights into how educational technology can be used to support modern learning 

objectives, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills required to thrive in the 21st century. 

However, the moderate effect size for critical thinking suggests that more targeted 

interventions or longer periods of use may be needed to see significant improvement in this area. 

This finding indicates that while digital tools like FAP can provide a solid foundation for 

competency development, further refinement and more comprehensive strategies are required to 

foster higher-order cognitive skills. 

In terms of practical implications, the study points to several policy and practice 

recommendations that could enhance the integration of digital formative assessment tools into the 

educational system. Firstly, the Ministry of Education should consider piloting and expanding the 

FAP platform across schools, particularly in underserved areas, ensuring that teachers are provided 

with the necessary training and resources to maximize the platform’s potential. Additionally, 

ongoing teacher support and the creation of learning networks among educators using the 

platform could facilitate knowledge exchange and further improve its effectiveness. 

Looking ahead, future research should explore the long-term effects of the FAP platform 

on student competencies, particularly in areas like critical thinking and problem-solving. 

Longitudinal studies could provide valuable insights into the sustained impact of the platform on 

student development. Furthermore, research should examine the factors that influence the 

effectiveness of digital formative assessment tools, such as the role of teacher training, school 

infrastructure, and the cultural context within which these platforms are implemented. 

Comparative studies between different digital assessment platforms could also offer valuable 

insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various tools, providing guidance for the optimal 

selection and use of these technologies in diverse educational settings. 

This research contributes to the growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of digital 

formative assessment tools in modern education. The FAP platform, with its focus on 

competency-based learning and real-time feedback, offers significant potential for improving both 

teaching practices and student outcomes. As education continues to evolve in response to global 

challenges and technological advancements, tools like the FAP platform represent an important 

step toward preparing students for the demands of the future.
