More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) has received much attention recently, serving as a lens to examine the ways in which teachers integrate technology into teaching. Questionnaire instruments have been developed to examine teachers’ TPACK. However, teacher-perceived TPACK may not fully reflect their real practices in classrooms. To address this problem, students’ perspectives could be incorporated to achieve a balanced assessment of TPACK. Thus, the present study was to assess English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ perceptions of their teachers’ TPACK through a validated student-based TPACK instrument. Two hundred and fifty-seven EFL students of junior high school in Taiwan participated in this study. The results of the survey showed that the teachers were thought to be more proficient in the three individual domains of core knowledge than in the intersections between them. In particular, the students perceived that their teachers demonstrated content knowledge more adequately than their integrated TPACK.

The resulting perceptions of the students could be used to help teachers enhance their teaching practices associated with technology. [For full proceedings, see ED565087
