Background variables, gender, ethnicity, certification, experience, and mathematics degree were all controlled for in this study. Two-step regression analysis results by school level (K-5, middle, and high) indicate that standards-based mathematics teaching beliefs positively predict mathematics teachers' level of TPACK for all teachers. Having a college/graduate mathematics degree is more predictive of TPACK for K-5 and middle school teachers while MKT is more predictive of TPACK for high school teachers. In addition, elementary teachers' mathematics self-concept and pedagogical preparedness and middle school teachers' mathematics teaching interest were significantly related to their level of TPACK. The implications for school districts and teacher preparation programs to develop TPACK for teachers are discussed.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130325944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is necessary to investigate how learning theories can help in the elaboration of these models. It is also essential to use a theoretical framework that provides guidance on how to deal with this complexity involved in TPACK and teacher training. This problem motivated the investigation of how a course based on a model that uses the cognitive flexibility theory (CFT), the cognitive operators of complexity and implemented in the flipped classroom can help in the development of the TPACK. The investigation was carried out through a case study. Participants were pre-service teachers at a Brazilian university. Data analysis allowed to identify that the course helped in the development of the TPACK by the teachers and to determine the positive aspects and the difficulties faced in the implementation of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129903137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research studies how the incorporation of the TPACK theoretical framework and the concept of global competencies supports pre-service candidates' depth of pedagogical understandings when integrating technology into teaching practice. Online surveys were conducted with students attending a compulsory information and communications technology (ICT) course. Five instances of the course across a four-year time span were studied. Online questionnaires were also given to students and five instructors. Four themes were identified by students and instructors: (1) TPACK helps students integrate the three kinds of knowledge, (2) TPACK allows a focus on pedagogy by defocusing on technology, (3) TPACK is a robust theory, and (4) TPACK takes time to integrate into practice.
