Auditing the TPACK Confidence of Pre-Service Teachers: The Case of Saudi Arabia
Education and Information Technologies, v24 n6 p3393-3413 Nov 2019
This study has investigated the technological knowledge (TK) and technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) confidence of 113 Saudi pre-service teacher students who were in their final year of the teacher education program. For this purpose, a descriptive survey method was used, and the data was obtained using the TPACK Confidence Survey (TCS). The results indicated a high percentage of participants had a very low level of perceived competences while using digital technologies for teaching and learning. Similarly, participants expressed a very low level for most TPACK integration practices. Female pre-service teacher participants exhibited a more significant confidence and readiness to engage in information and communication technology practices to transform learning outcomes of students. Several implications and recommendations are derived and discussed in this study.
