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 been paid to these two concepts, their relation has not been fully understood. The present study contributes to the advancement of this understanding by examining the relations between three core technology attitudes (i.e., general attitudes towards ICT, attitudes towards ICT in education, and ease of use) and TPACK self-efficacy beliefs, based on a sample of N = 688 Flemish pre-service teachers in 18 teacher-training institutions. Using a variety of structural equation modeling approaches, we describe the TPACK-attitudes relations from multiple perspectives and present a substantive-methodological synergism. The analyses revealed that the attitudes toward technology and TPACK self-beliefs were positively related; yet, differences across the attitudes and TPACK dimensions existed, pointing to the delineation of general and educational perspectives on the use of ICE.

Mediated Effects of Technology Competencies and Experiences on Relations among Attitudes Towards Technology Use, Technology Ownership, and Self Efficacy about Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Boz, Yezdan; Aydin-Gunbatar, Sevgi (2017-08-01)
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 fema...
The effect of educational ideologies on technology acceptance
Özdemir, Devrim; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2004)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of both students̕ and academics̕ educational ideologies on their acceptance of technology, and to find out whether there are differences in the perceived ease of use of technology, perceived usefulness of technology, attitudes toward technology, and the frequency of use of technology in education in terms of their educational ideologies. A survey design was used in this study. The questionnaire used in the study was developed by making use of the relate...
The relationship between educational ideologies and technology acceptance in pre-service teachers
Kiraz, Ercan; Ozdemir, Devrim (2006-01-01)
After the evaluation of numerous technology integration programs in school districts and universities, it is recognized that the existence of technology does not guarantee its utilization in the classroom environment. Although many models and theories have tried to explain the contributing factors in technology acceptance, most of the models and theories have focused on technology-related factors. This study focused on educational ideology, a factor not related to technology that also affects decisions in t...
Investigating Pre-Service Early Childhood Education Teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Competencies Regarding Digital Literacy Skills and Their Technology Attitudes and Usage
Altun, Dilek (2019-01-01)
The integration of technology into education is a substantial issue for supporting and updating teachers’ professional development in today’s world and bringing up digitally literate generations and well-educated human capital. Studies have shown that technology integration in education is a complex and multidimensional issue. TPACK transcends the triad of core knowledge types and comprises the basis for the effective integration of technology into teaching. Therefore, the present study sought to understand...
The effectiveness of a graduate course on science teachers’ percieved TPACK competencies and self-efficacy of TPACK
Çetinkaya Aydın, Gamze; Çakıroğlu, Jale (null; 2017-05-21)
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework proposes that effective teaching with technology requires combination of content, technology and pedagogy, and emphasizes the relationships, connections, strengths and weaknesses between and among these components. Following a quantitative multiplecase study approach, the purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of an instructional design named “Theory – Application – Practice (TAP)” for improving science teachers’ TPACK competencies...
