This study examined the relations of preservice science teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences to their self-efficacy beliefs about technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The present study also investigated interrelations among preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences. The participants of study were 665 elementary preservice science teachers (467 females, 198 males) from 7 colleges in Turkey. The proposed model based on educational technology literature was tested using structural equation modeling. The model testing results revealed that preservice teachers' technology competencies and experiences mediated the relation of technology ownership to their TPACK self efficacy beliefs. The direct relation of their possession of technology to their TPACK self efficacy beliefs was insignificant while the indirect relation through their technology competencies and experiences was significant. The results also indicated there were significant direct effects of preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology competencies, and experiences on their TPACK self efficacy beliefs.

Interaction among Contextual Knowledge and Pedagogical Content Knowledge: Sociocultural Perspective
Şen, Mehmet; Öztekin, Ceren (Turkish Education Association, 2019-01-01)
This study examined middle school science teachers' contextual knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and impact of contextual knowledge on pedagogical content knowledge based on sociocultural perspective. Data were collected from two teachers through semi-structured contextual knowledge interview, semi-structured pedagogical content knowledge interview, and classroom observations and then data were analyzed by deductive and inductive coding. Findings revealed four assertions regarding how teachers' conte...

To What Extent Are Science Teachers Ready to Teach Sustainable Development? A Case Study for Two Experienced Teachers Pedagogical Content Concerns
Öztekin, Ceren (2017-05-21)
This study aims to examine two in-service middle school teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and pedagogical content concerns (PCC) about sustainable development (SD). Data were collected from semi-structured interviews and they were both deductively and inductively coded and categorized to reach the findings. Findings of the study suggested that teachers had concerns about students’ lack of interest and awareness to SD, teachers’ deficient ...

This study aims to explore graduate science education students’ views of elementary science teachers’ TPACK competencies by employing a Delphi technique. 9 graduate science education students enrolled in a graduate course participated in the study. In the first round, participants were asked to list the competencies of an elementary science teacher with high level of TPACK and a total of 88 competencies were listed. In the second round, all participants investigated these competencies and eliminated the sim...
The importance of attitudes toward technology for pre-service teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge: Comparing structural equation modeling approaches
Scherer, Ronny; Tondeur, Jo; Siddiq, Fazilat; Baran, Evrim (2018-03-01)
A large body of literature suggests that attitudes toward technology and its educational use are important determinants of technology acceptance and integration in classrooms. At the same time, teachers' Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) facilitates the meaningful use of technology for educational purposes. Overall, attitudes toward technology and TPACK play a critical role for technology integration and have been in the focus of many empirical studies. Albeit the attention that has ...
