Abstract

This paper builds on the growing focus on learning about teaching science with digital technologies, and the relationship between different elements that constitute teacher knowledge and how these are captured and understood during teacher education program. In the paper, Content Representation (CoRe) as a reflective tool is modified to a Technological Content Representation (T-CoRe) to stimulate 24 student teachers´ reflections on how to integrate digital technologies in their science teaching (i.e. TPACK). As such, the paper attempts to capture and understand how student teachers integrate digital technologies into their science teaching as well as introducing an approach to explore the relationship between PCK and TPACK.
