Professional Development Characteristics Promoting Technological and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: #etusp Example

• In Event: TED - Teacher Characteristics & Community in Technology

Short Description

Majority of educational technology research focuses on the effect of technology-based professional development (PD) on various types of knowledge. This study, however, examines the effect of a particular set of PD characteristics on technological knowledge (TK) and technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK). The results of our path model analysis imply that cognitive dissonance-creating activities and focus on technological knowledge, skills, and pedagogy are strongly associated with increases in TK and TPK. Researchers, program evaluators, and PD designers can benefit from the results presented.
