Abstract

The purpose of this study was to expand literature of TPACK by investigating the perceived TPACK of university faculty in teacher education and their demographics. The survey instrument used was the Survey of Teacher Educators’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (STE-TPACK) which is a modified version of the Survey of Preservice Teachers Knowledge of Teaching and Technology. In summary, 347 teacher educators from 76 public universities in Texas participated in the online study (46% response rate). When considering the effect size and practical significance, the overall results of this study revealed a significant negative correlation in the technology knowledge of the university faculty and their age. The results suggest, as age increases, TK decreases and conversely, as age decreases, TK increases.
