With the advancement of information technology and policies encouraging interactivities in teaching and learning, the use of students’ response system (SRS), commonly known as clickers, has experienced substantial growth in recent years. The reported effectiveness of SRS has varied. Based on the framework of technological-pedagogical-content knowledge (TPACK), the current study attempted to explore the disparity in efficiency of adopting SRS. A concurrent mixed method design was adopted to delineate factors conducive to efficient adoption of SRS through closed-ended survey responses and qualitative data. Participants were purposefully sampled from diverse academic disciplines and backgrounds. Seventeen teachers from various disciplines (i.e., tourism management, business, health sciences, applied sciences, engineering, and social sciences) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University formed a teacher focus group for the current study. In the facilitated focus group, issues relating to efficient use of clickers, participants explored questions on teachers’ knowledge on various technologies, knowledge relating to their subject matters, methods and processes of teaching, as well as how to integrate all knowledge into their teaching. The TPACK model was adopted to guide the discussions. Emergent themes from the discussions were extracted using NVivo 10 for Windows, and were categorized according to the framework of TPACK. The survey, implemented on an online survey platform, solicited participants on teachers’ knowledge and technology acceptance. The close-ended survey comprised 30 items based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and 20 items based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Participating teachers concurred with the suggestion that use of clickers is instrumental in engaging students in learning and assessing formative students’ progress. Converging with the survey results, several major themes contributing to the successful implementation of clickers, namely technology, technological-pedagogical, technological-content, technological-pedagogical-content knowledge, were identified from the teacher focus groups. The most and second most frequently cited themes were technological-pedagogical-content Knowledge and the technological knowledge respectively. Findings from the current study triangulated with previous findings on TPACK and use of clickers, particularly, the influence of technological-pedagogical-content Knowledge and technological knowledge on successful integration of innovations in class. Furthermore, the current study highlighted the impact of technological-pedagogical and technological-content knowledge for further research to unfold technology adoption with these featured TPACK configurations, as well as rendering support to frontline academics related to integration of technology and pedagogy.

Teachers often teach on their own in their individual classrooms and thus have to mostly rely on themselves to reflect on their teaching practices and make improvements. This study explores the potential of using a video self-analysis component in an undergraduate technology integration course to help preservice teachers effectively integrate technology into instruction. Specifically, this study explores the impact of video self-analysis on developing preservice teachers Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Results reveal video self-analysis was beneficial in helping preservice teachers facilitate their TPACK development. However, participants TPACK development varied within the six TPACK knowledge domains.

O TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) conceptualiza o conhecimento profissional do professor para uma efetiva integração da tecnologia na educação, que é um desafio frequente no ensino da Matemática. Sendo essencial garantir o seu desenvolvimento na formação inicial de professores de Matemática, este estudo, seguindo uma Investigação Baseada em Design, visa compreender como os princípios de design adotados numa experiência de formação centrada no desenvolvimento do TPACK de futuros professores (FP) de Matemática do 7.º ao 12.º anos de escolaridade contribuem para promover esse conhecimento. Os resultados, com base na análise de resoluções escritas dos FP das tarefas propostas na formação e respostas a entrevista e questionário, mostram que a experiência de formação promoveu competências tecnológicas dos FP, evidenciando a mobilização do TK (Technological Knowledge), TCK (Technological Content Knowledge) e TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge) em articulação com o PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) e, consequentemente, com o TPACK.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan integrasi technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) dalam perangkat pembelajaran daring guru bahasa Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Objek dalam penelitian ini berupa rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran (RPP) daring mata pelajaran bahasa Indonesia di SMP Al Qolam Muhammadiyah Gemolong. Adapun Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah guru bahasa Indonesia SMP Al Qolam Muhammadiyah Gemolong. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik dokumentasi dan wawancara. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) dikelompokkan menjadi 4 bagian yang meliputi (1) integrasi technological knowledge (TK), (2) integrasi pedagogical knowledge (PK), (3) integrasi content knowledge (CK), dan (4) integrasi technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK). Kata kunci: TPACK, Perangkat Pembelajaran Daring, dan Guru Bahasa Indonesia

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has led to opportunities and challenges in the educational ideas and practices. This study examines the impact of technological pedagogical content knowledge on the use of ICT in pedagogy. This study applied a quantitative method using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The population of the study was teacher in Junior high School in Mojokerto of East Java Indonesia while the sample was about 302 participants gathered by using proportionate stratified random sampling. The findings showed that first, technological pedagogical content knowledge directly did not affect teachers’ self-efficacy. Second, technological pedagogical content knowledge influences the use of ICT in pedagogy. Third, organizational innovative climate directly influences the teachers’ self-efficacy. Indeed, organizational innovative climate affects the use of ICT in pedagogy. Fifth, teachers’ self-efficacy influences the use of ICT in pedagogy. Sixth, technological pedagogical content knowledge mediated by teachers’ self-efficacy does not directly affect the use of ICT in pedagogy. Lastly, organizational innovative climate-mediated by teachers’ self-efficacy affects the use of ICT in pedagogy. This research could be the first step for a similar study in the future.

<p>Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi bisa dijadikan salah satu cara untuk<strong> </strong>meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran yang dilakukan oleh seorang guru. Untuk bisa<strong> </strong>mewujudkan hal tersebut, seorang guru perlu memahami dan mimiliki kemampuan<strong> </strong><em>Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) </em>yang merupakan pengembangan<strong> </strong>dari <em>Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)</em>-nya Shulman (1986). TPACK merupakan pengetahuan untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi ke dalam pengajaran materi tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan guru biologi di SMA dalam aspek TPACK. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan teknik <em>cluster</em> <em>sampling</em> . Sampel yang digunakan adalah 3 guru biologi di 3 sekolah (selanjutnya diberi kode B1, B2, dan B3) se – kecamatan gondang. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode observasi.
