Following a design-based research approach, the present study aimed to develop a course design named Theory – Application – Practice (T-A-P) and investigate its effectiveness for graduate level students’ development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Participants’ views on the T-A-P course design, the change in their perceived competencies and self-efficacy of TPACK, and the change in their TPACK level were investigated to test the effectiveness of the course design. The proposed design was implemented in two iterative cycles with a total of 12 graduate level students pursuing a M.S. or Ph.D. degree in elementary science education. To examine participants’ views about course design, data were collected by means of written feedback and interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data, and the findings revealed that participants found the T-A-P course design helpful for their TPACK development. Participants’ perceived competencies and self-efficacy of TPACK were measured by pre- and post-administration of two TPACK scales, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests were performed to investigate whether the change was statistically significant. The results revealed significant improvements in participants’ scores for both of the scales in both cycles of implementation. Lastly, lesson plans, micro-teachings and interviews were used to capture the development of participants’ levels of TPACK. It was seen that after attending a graduate course based on T-A-P course design, participants’ level of TPACK progressed at different levels in both cycles of implementation. T-A-P course design, developed based on the related literature, was found to be effective for promoting graduate level students’ TPACK development.

Developing a technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) assessment for preservice teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language Baser, Derya; Kopcha, Theodore J.; Özden, Muhammet Yaşar (2016-01-01) This paper reports the development and validation process of a self-assessment survey that examines technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) among preservice teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). The survey, called TPACK-EFL, aims to provide an assessment tool for preservice foreign language teachers that addresses subject-specific pedagogies and technologies. Using mixed methods approach, survey items were generated first using qualitative methods (e.g. expert interview...
Development of Preservice Science Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in the context of Lesson Study Güler Nalbantoğlu, Fulden; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Education (2023-2) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the development of preservice science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the context of lesson study. The lesson study was integrated into the Practice Teaching in Science course, and there were four lesson study cycles throughout the study. Each lesson study cycle consisted of planning, teaching, reflecting, re-teaching, and re-reflecting phases. The design of the study was a m...
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 design, implementation and evaluation of a professional development programme to support teachers' technology integration in a public education centre Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Cevikbas, Seher Gul; Baran, Evrim (2020-05-01) The main purpose of this study was to design and implement a professional development programme on technology integration for teachers in a public education centre based on the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework and learning by design approach, and to evaluate the programme's impact. Ten adult education teachers in a public education centre participated in this case study research. Data sources include teacher-reflective reports, lesson plans and focus group interviews. The result...
Learning by design : an integrated approach for technological pedagogical content knowledge development Uygun, Erdem; Baran, Evrim; Department of Educational Sciences (2013) The purpose of this research was to investigate the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) as students engaged in learning by design activities in the context of Research and Practice on Technology in Teacher Education course offered at a public university in Turkey in Spring 2013. Following the case study methodology, the research implemented learning by design (LBD) module that included TPACK game activities developed specifically to examine students’ TPACK development in the c...
