Investigating the technological pedagogical content knowledge of preservice teachers

Abstract

This paper examined the profile of Turkish preservice science and elementary teachers in terms of their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Moreover, the difference between TPACK of preservice teachers in terms of grade level, gender, Cumulative Grand Point Average (CGPA), participation in a technology-related course, and following a popular technology magazine were investigated. The Survey of Preservice Teachers' Knowledge of Teaching and Technology was administered to 202 preservice teachers of a state university in Turkey. The results indicated that the participants had above-average TPACK scores. In addition, the influence of grade level, gender, and CGPA on TPACK scores is not significantly different for preservice science teachers and preservice elementary teachers. On the other hand, the influence of participation in a technology-related course and following a popular technology magazine on TPACK scores is significantly different for both groups in favor of preservice elementary teachers. The results and implications were discussed.
