Specialized science courses (SSCs) integrate content knowledge (CK) with pedagogical (PCK) and prepare pre-service teachers (PSTs) for reform-oriented teaching. Studies of individual SSCs report positive short-term outcomes, including an increase in self-efficacy CK. However, few studies explore the longer-term impact on classroom We carried out exploratory case study three PSTs from a Norwegia...

This study describes the TPACK-Developing Instructional Model which prescribes an instructional process for developing pre-service teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) during the instruction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools. This model proposes three phases for developing teachers’ TPACK through ICT instruction. The phases are: fostering teachers’...

This paper reviews 74 journal papers that investigate ICT integration from the framework of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The TPACK framework is an extension of the pedagogical content knowledge (Shulman, 1986). TPACK is the type of integrative and transformative knowledge teachers need for effective use of ICT in classrooms. As a framework for the design of teacher educa...

This research aims to establish the validity and reliability of a novel self-assessment instrument designed quantify Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) abilities chemistry teachers implementing science-based approach. The study employs Research Development (RD) framework, utilizing ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. development process invo...

The increasingly ubiquitous availability of digital and networked tools has the potential to fundamentally transform the teaching and learning process. Research on the instructional uses of technology, however, has revealed that teachers often lack the knowledge to successfully integrate technology in their teaching and their attempts tend to be limited in scope, variety, and depth. Thus, techn...
