However, limited attention has been given to the in-service EFL teachers’ TPACK in CALL literature using a specific TPACK framework for EFL teaching involving teachers, students, and trainers in a single study. This mixed-method research explored a comprehensive perspective of in-service teachers’ TPACK while attending two semesters of online professional training funded by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia. A total of 120 senior high school EFL teachers, 360 students, and five EFL trainers with doctoral (PhD) degrees participated in the study. Quantitative and qualitative data showed divergence or convergence in the research outcomes. Quantitative findings indicated different perceptions among students, teachers and trainers regarding in-service teachers’ CK, TPK, PCK, and TPACK level of competence. In addition, qualitative results claimed that familiarity with basic computer hardware, research in ELT, intercultural awareness, authentic language problem-solving, learners’ engagement and adaptability to various cultural events and environments were required to foster forthcoming TPACK practices and support the language learning process of learners.","PeriodicalId":52191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education","volume":"39 1","pages":"87 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42831415","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, the issue of digital inheritance may be used to demonstrate how teachers can promote their students and their own critical thinking about digital media. The current study examined a course in which 104 teachers learned about digital inheritance. The research question concerned the teachers’ reaction to the emotionally charged subject matter. Data were analyzed using Mezirow’s (2003) model of Transformative Learning and included teachers’ feedback on the course. The findings point to the advantage of focused exposure to new and sensitive content within a defined framework of teachers’ professional development, as such a framework allows the learners to express resistance to the emotionally difficult topic. A conclusion from the research is that relevant but unfamiliar life content related to media literacy should be integrated into teachers’ professional development.","PeriodicalId":52191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education","volume":"39 1","pages":"76 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47775792","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}

Data were collected from 67 PSETs through pre- and post-survey. The findings revealed that their AT knowledge and skills increased remarkably following the course. The PSETs found the course to be valuable as it enabled them to gain AT knowledge and skills, to become aware of the importance of AT in special education, and to provide some real-life experience. They mentioned appreciating the special education focus and active learning features of the course, but listed the heavy course workload, the challenges of the course project, and the intensive course content as weaknesses of the course.

ISTE 2022 was a hybrid conference, making presentations available to members who attended in person and to those who were unable to attend. More than 13,000 ISTE members were able to attend in person. Those who attended reported that ISTE 2022 truly felt like the active, engaged, innovative conference we have all come to know. And those who attended online also expressed appreciation for the high quality and carefully designed hybrid opportunity. The Tuesday keynote by Drs. Cornel West and Robert George provides an excellent example of how the hybrid approach can work for both in person and online attendees and presenters. The session was moderated by Mary Jo Modda. Ms. Modda, a doctoral student at UCLA, was present in person for a large, enthusiastic ISTE audience and Drs. West and George participated online. The combination of a moderator speaking to a large group of in person attendees and the two online panel members created a most successful and inspiring session. The enthusiasm of the in person audience for the topic and the speakers added an important ingredient for the online audience. The session truly illustrates the effectiveness of a carefully planned and executed hybrid experience. The topic for this keynote session was centered around the issue of our need for civil discourse on issues in education. Drs. George and West vividly described a deep academic friendship between the two of them that has spanned decades and included some very different views on educational issues. The speakers in this session modeled the importance and value of civil discourse and our need to understand and practice the characteristics of civil discourse. As the speakers described their personal and professional relationship, they highlighted several important features of successful civil discourse. They suggested that we are currently in a time of despair in many of our interactions and the need to learn to positively disagree with our friends and colleagues. They also described the need for serious and informed dialogue that contributes to growth and learning. Characteristics emphasized by Drs.

The participants consist of 510 pre-service teachers. According to the findings, metaphors for a digitally competent teacher were classified under three themes: digital competence, pedagogical competence, and personal characteristics. Pre-service teachers describe a digitally competent teacher as an individual who has digital competences such as information and data literacy, communication, safety, problem-solving, and productivity; have pedagogical competences such as empowering learners, guiding their students, being the source and transmitter of information, and facilitating learning; have personal characteristics such as being open to change and development, equipped, versatility, valuable, using technology effectively, creative, innovative, and querent.
