• In Event: TED - Research in Teacher Education

Short Description

The purpose of this present study is to investigate the effect of motivational and presage variables on teachers’ technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) in the context of technology professional development (TPD). This program was established for developing teachers’ competence in technology integration. 108 in-service teachers participated in this study. The results of stepwise regression analyses revealed that after controlling for the effect of participants’ initial TPACK and presage variables, teachers’ perceived ability of technology integration significantly predicted their post-TPACK.
