Borrowing from the world of science research literature, a workbench dialectic inquiry model was engaged in designing a small group-large group dynamic. Mimicking scientists at the workbench, the participants formed relationships in small groups to develop ideas about TPACK, presented their ideas to the larger, whole-class group, then returned to the small groups to integrate feedback. This dynamic group interaction structure provided the participants with the space to develop their TPACK thinking in ways that supported the transition to cognitive discourse. Analysis of the forum postings revealed the complexity of the participant interaction and suggested that facilitating student community engagement supported the development of their TPACK. Course design details are provided. Further research directions might include applying the workbench dialectic inquiry model in other educational contexts and with larger student populations.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"19 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":"115181231","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}

Pre-service teachers developed TPACK through carefully designed and scaffolded learning experiences in technology and content methods coursework, internship experiences, and student teaching. The case offers descriptions and outcomes within a mathematics methods course and across eleven cohorts of student teachers. TPACK survey results at the beginning and end of one course of the program, and measures of TPACK-efficacy and frequency of technology integration at the end of the program indicate that the programmatic approach led to TPACK growth among pre-service teachers.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"53 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":"116250118","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}

The theoretical frameworks that guided the design and implementation of technology-based mathematics lessons are discussed, including both TPACK and the substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition (SAMR) framework. Then the authors describe specific activities intended to develop TPACK, the motivation and implementation for these activities, and excerpts of pre-service teachers' survey results, comments, and reflections about learning elementary mathematics in these courses. The contrast between the courses is focused technology use during one unit with opportunity to teach elementary lessons with the same technology, and pervasive use of technology throughout the other but no opportunity to use the technology with elementary learners. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications and issues that have presented themselves in this action research experience.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"54 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":"127835084","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}

The course is rooted in a set of concepts and theories and in three pedagogical principles for enhancing teachers' technology integration. The outcomes of the course were measured by using a mixed methods design. After the course, all students showed satisfactory TPACK scores and most students (83%) produced lessons that showed a good quality of technology integration, and 75% of the lessons showed a rich array of technological affordances. Neither the quality of the technology integration as shown in their lesson design and enactment nor the number of different technological affordances students showed in their (enacted) lesson design were related to students' TPACK scores after the course. This unexpected finding is discussed. Students reported a development from unconscious technology integration to conscious technology integration.","PeriodicalId":256420,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age","volume":"18 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120820124","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}
