El estudio analiza los resultados más relevantes de la investigación realizada con docentes de educación primaria, en referencia al modelo TPACK. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la autopercepción de los docentes de primaria en servicio, con respecto a su capacitación tecnológica, tomando como referencia la escala de diagnóstico TPACK. Para la recopilación de información, se adaptó un cuestionario tipo Likert ya validado, siguiendo el modelo TPACK. El cuestionario está compuesto por 47 ítems que recopilan información de las siete dimensiones del modelo. La muestra está formada por 607 docentes. La investigación es de naturaleza descriptiva no experimental, y realiza un análisis de varianza multivariante (MANOVA). Los resultados más significativos han sido el hallazgo de diferencias con respecto al género de los participantes. En general, son los hombres los que tienen una mayor percepción de sí mismos con respecto al uso y la integración de las TIC en su práctica docente, especialmente en asuntos científicos. Las mujeres parecen ser más efectivas cuando seleccionan enfoques para guiar el aprendizaje y el pensamiento del estudiante en términos de lectura y escritura.

The most significant results have been the finding of differences regarding the gender of the participants. In general, it is men who have a greater perception of themselves regarding the use and integration of ICTs in their teaching practice, especially in scientific matters. Women seem to be more effective when they select approaches to guide student learning and thinking in terms of reading and writing.

Convenient sampling and questionnaire survey was used to investigate the relationship among self-appraisals, others’ actual appraisals, and reflected appraisals on the teaching ability of 40 primary school teachers. The results of the study indicated that primary school teachers’ selfappraisals on teaching ability was obviously below others’ actual appraisals; generalized others had more influence on the self-appraisals of primary school teachers than specific others; primary school teachers’ reflected appraisals could influence their self-appraisals; and others’ actual appraisals could not directly influence self-appraisals. Consequently, we should pay more attention in developing the primary school teachers’ reflective ability, change the current way of teaching reflection, improve the influence of others’ actual appraisals on self-appraisals, and enhance the validity of teaching reflection.

 In visual arts education, specific competences pertain to having knowledge from the theory and praxis of visual arts and the teaching methodology of visual arts. The goal of this research was to examine the opinions of 231 students of graduate teacher studies and 143 in-service primary school teachers about the importance of specific competences in the visual arts, as well as the level of achieving the stated competences during studies. The frequency of teachers attending various forms of professional training in the visual arts was also examined. Two questionnaires were designed for the research. The data obtained with the questionnaires were processed at the level of descriptive and inferential statistics. A Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to compare the differences in the arithmetic means between the perception of importance and the perception of possessing the competences between these two groups. The research has shown the existence of a statistically significant difference between the self-assessment about the importance of specific competences in the visual arts, and the self-assessment of having these competences, both with students of the Croatian faculties of teacher education and primary school teachers. The results also have shown the insufficient presence of teachers’ further professional training in the visual arts area.
