The purpose of the present study was to investigate science teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in terms of different variables. Specifically, the purpose was to examine science teachers’ TPACK competency levels according to their gender, experience years and determine their TPACK indicators based on TPACK-Deep factors, namely design, exertion, ethics, and proficiency. The current study was followed by explanatory sequential mixed methodology and composed of two stages: survey research and multiple case study respectively. Participants were 136 science teachers from a small province located in Central Anatolia region of Turkey. In addition, three teachers who had different levels of TPACK competency were selected from the sample for the multiple case study. Data sources were TPACK-Deep scale, classroom observations, video recordings of the classroom instruction, and semi-structured interviews. For the analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used for the quantitative data; deductive and inductive analysis were used for the qualitative data. The findings of the current study showed that science teachers’ TPACK competency levels were high. Moreover, there were no significant differences in TPACK levels in terms of teachers’ gender and experience years. Considering TPACK-Deep factors, teachers’ scores were highest in the ethics factor and lowest in the proficiency factor. On the other hand, teacher who had high TPACK competency level showed more TPACK indicators; low competency level showed less TPACK indicators. In addition, participant teachers’ TPACK indicators provided rich information about TPACK-Deep factors for different TPACK competency levels. Keywords: TPACK, Science Teachers, Meiosis, Gender, Experience Years.

Investigating pre-service science teachers’ perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge regarding genetics Savaş, Meltem; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The purpose of this study was to investigate the preservice science teachers’ perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) on genetics. More specifically, the purpose was to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK and genetics knowledge of the preservice science teachers. Moreover, findings the effect of the demographic information on perceived TPACK was also aimed. This study was conducted with preservice science teachers who were enrolled in elementary science education de...
Observable indicators of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in science classrooms through video research Ocak, Ceren; Baran, Evrim; Department of Educational Sciences (2016) The purpose of the study was to examine the observable indicators of science teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) through a multiple case study with video research. The study was carried out in a private campus school offering primary and secondary education level of education. Following multiple case study methodology, design and implementation of process of technology- enhanced science instruction among in-service science teachers were investigated in- depth in order to explore ob...
Investigating Pre-service Science Teachers' Content Knowledge And Perceived TPACK Regarding Genetics Savaş, Meltem; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (null; 2012-03-25) The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between genetic knowledge and perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of pre-service science teachers and explore relationships among the components of TPACK. A total of 1530 pre-service science teachers who are enrolled in elementary science education department of Education Faculties of 8 public universities located in the central part of the country participated to the study. The perceived TPACK questionnaire develo...
Developing prospective mathematics teachers’ knowledge for teaching quadrilaterals through a video case-based learning environment Ulusoy, Fadime; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Education (2016) The aim of this study was to examine the developments in prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge about quadrilaterals as they attended to a teaching experiment that was designed in a video case-based learning environment. Data was collected from eight prospective teachers during the fall semester of 2014-2015 in the scope of an elective course. In data collection process, multiple data sources were utilized such as clinical individual pre- a...
Investigation of pre service science teachers perceptions related to pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge Güler, Fulden; Aksu, Meral; Department of Educational Sciences (2015) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the pre service science teachers’ perceptions related to science teaching. Within this scope, participants’ perceptions related to their pedagogical knowledge (PK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) were examined. Furthermore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of gender and level of achievement on participants’ perceptions regarding PK and PCK. 176 fourth year pre service science teachers from three state universities of Ankara participated in th...
