Sun, April 7, 3:40 to 5:10pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 300 Level, Hall C

Abstract

The authors herein discuss the design of e-TPCK, a self-paced adaptive electronic learning environment that was integrated in a second-year educational technology course to engage pre-service teachers’ in rich learning experiences in order to develop their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK/TPACK) in a personalized way. The system promotes teachers' ongoing TPCK development by engaging them in personalized learning experiences through the use of technology-infused design scenarios, while taking at the same time into account information processing constraints and preferences. Results from an experimental research design study revealed statistically significant differences between the control group and the experimental group in favor of the experimental group.
