TPACK (Technological pedagogical content knowledge) is a useful framework for integrating technology into teaching for meaningful understanding. Since its introduction by Mishra and Kohler in 2006, there is no consensus in the results of the studies examining structure of TPACK. Recently, some studies have focused on TPACK self-efficacy (TPACK-SE) beliefs. We aimed to validate factor structure of TPACK-SE and reveal the relations among the components. A structural equation model (SEM) formed in light of TPACK- SE literature was tested with LISREL 8.8. The participants were 665 senior elementary pre-service science teachers (467 Females, 198 Males) from 7 colleges in Turkey. The model had acceptable fit. In the model, in light of the literature, direct relations of core components (e.g., PK, CK, and TK) to TPACK-SE were not proposed. Instead, indirect relations through interaction components (e.g., PCK) were hypothesized. All hypothesized relations got significant path coefficients. Second, indirect relations of CK, TK, and PK were also significant. Regarding the amount of explained variances on all dependent constructs (R2), CK, PK, TK, PCK, TCK and TPK explained 87% of the variance of TPACK-SE. Implications for technology integration in science teacher education were proposed. © 2017, Ankara University. All rights reserved.

A Structural Model for Students' Adoption of Learning Management Systems: An Empirical Investigation in the Higher Education Context FINDIK COŞKUNÇAY, Duygu; Alkis, Nurcan; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2018-04-01) With the recent advances in information technologies, Learning Management Systems have taken on a significant role in providing educational resources. The successful use of these systems in higher education is important for the implementation, management and continuous improvement of e-learning services to increase the quality of learning. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting higher education students' behavioral intention towards Learning Management Systems. A research model was proposed base...
A model for instructors' adoption of learning management systems: Empirical Validation in higher education context Findik Coşkunçay, Duygu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-04-01) Through the rapid expansion of information technologies, Learning Management Systems have become one of the most important innovations for delivering education. However, successful implementation and management of these systems are primarily based on the instructors' adoption. In this context, this study aims to understand behavioral intentions of higher education instructors towards Learning Management Systems and further to identify the influencing factors. A multidimensional research model has been propo...
A Review of the Research on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: The Case of Turkey Baran, Evrim; BİLİCİ, SEDEF CANBAZOĞLU (2015-01-01) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has played an important role in rethinking current teacher education and technology practices both in Turkey and around the world. Due to the recent increase in the number of research studies conducted on TPACK in Turkey, there has been an emerging need to investigate the research on TPACK to evaluate the current literature as well as to guide future research studies. To help better inform teacher educators and researchers, the authors embarked u...
A usability study of dynamic geometry software's interfaces Yağmur, Serap; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2013-07-26) The use of information technology such as dynamic geometry software in mathematics teaching has become more popular and essential. There are several benefits of using this software. In spite of the benefits, they have some difficulties in terms of usability, so users have some problems while using them in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of these software interfaces. For this purpose, firstly, we selected two dynamic geometry software. One of them is GeoGebra ...
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...
