New Instrument

This study proposed a new conceptualization of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) that focuses exclusively on the intersection of technology, pedagogy, and content specifically for selected dimensions of 21st century learning. In addition, teachers’ design beliefs were investigated with the teachers’ TPACK. Given the conceptualization, a new instrument was designed and validated. An associated intervention program to enhance the preservice teachers' TPACK was designed and the pre- and post-course surveys were conducted. To unpack the relationships between teachers’ design beliefs and their TPACK, structural equation models were constructed and validated. The findings indicate that the instrument possesses good construct, discriminant and convergence validity, and reliabilities. The intervention enhanced the teachers’ TPACK efficacies and their design beliefs significantly, and the structural equation models indicate that the teachers’ design beliefs are significant predictors of the teachers’ TPACK. The implications of this study suggest that TPACK may be conceived differently and this may promote new intervention programs to foster preservice teachers’ TPACK and design beliefs.

The chapter outlines and discusses many steps in instructional design as well as assessing its effectiveness. The role of knowledge of subject matter, pedagogy, how students learn, and instructional context is stressed. The six challenging questions relating to pedagogical content knowledge are presented and discussed. Designing instruction is a temporally backward process, in that the first step is to determine the desired outcomes. The reader is taken through the three major stages of planning instruction: defining outcomes, planning assessment, and designing the learning plan. The importance of timely and relevant feedback is stressed. Teacher self-assessment is key as well. The author states that the height of professionalism is the consistent willingness to evolve for the students’ benefit.The chapter concludes with a detailed sample lesson project.

In this study I examined the role of collaboration, curriculum, and the classroom context in the development of pedagogical content knowledge of a mathematics teaching intern. Additionally, I investigated the nature of the collaborative process between the teaching intern and his mentor teacher as they collaborated on action (during structured planning time) and in action (while students were present). The teaching internship resided in a seventh-grade mathematics classroom during the teaching of a probability unit from a standards-based curriculum, Connected Mathematics Project. Using existing research, a conceptual framework was developed and multiple data sources (audio taped collaborations, observations of the intern's teaching practices, semi-structured interviews, and a mathematics pedagogy assessment) were analyzed in order to understand the teaching intern's development of knowledge of instructional strategies, knowledge of student understandings, curricular knowledge, and conceptions of purpose for teaching probability.Results identified numerous dilemmas related to planning and implementing instruction. Although the teaching intern developed pedagogical content knowledge, he often experienced difficulty accessing it while teaching. Through collaboration, curriculum, and the classroom context, the teaching intern learned to incorporate his pedagogical content knowledge in instruction. Analysis revealed that as he gained new knowledge he was able to shift his focus from content to the use of instructional strategies for teaching and learning. The curriculum was the primary focus of collaboration and initiated the intern's examination of the learning-to-teach process. Collaboration on action and collaboration in action proved to be essential elements in the development of pedagogical content knowledge.

Report Measure

Analisis Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) perlu dilakukan dalam rangka memahami tingkat pengetahuan guru untuk dapat mengintegrasikan teknologi pada pembelajaran abad 21. Studi ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan profil tingkat penguasaan TPACK calon guru Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan yang sedang menempuh pendidikan Strata 1 di Program Studi PPKn Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan (FKIP) Universitas Pamulang. Studi menggunakan metode self-report measure dalam bentuk survei. Secara keseluruhan, tingkat penguasaan TPACK calon guru PPKn termasuk dalam kategori baik. Namun, penguasaan pada technological knowledge, content knowledge dan technological pedagogical content knowledge memiliki total nilai rata-rata yang lebih rendah. Perlu diperhatikan setiap butir pernyataan yang memiliki nilai rata-rata lebih rendah daripada total nilai rata-rata pada setiap domain pengetahuan. Setiap lembaga pendidikan tenaga kependidikan perlu melakukan analisis TPACK supaya mengetahui apakah calon guru yang sedang dididik sudah memiliki pengetahuan yang dibutuhkan untuk dapat mengajar sesuai dengan tuntutan dan karakteristik pembelajaran abad 21.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Analyzing Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is needed to understand teachers' knowledge in term of integrating technology in 21st-century learning. This study to explore TPACK confidence of preservice civic education teachers at the Department of Civic Education, Faculty of Teacher Training And Education, Universitas Pamulang. The study used a self-report-measure method in the form of a survey. Overall, the TPACK confidence of preservice civic education teachers in a good category. However, the confidences in technological knowledge, content knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge, have a lower average total score. It should noticed regarding statement items that have a lower average convictions than the technical average rating at each knowledge domain. Teacher education institute needs conducting a TPACK analysis to find out whether preservice teachers who are educated already have the appropriate teaching knowledge for demands and characteristics of 21st-century learning.

In 2045, Indonesia is determined to have a golden generation in order to improve the nation's competitiveness. However, in reality the condition of teenagers today is very alarming. The data show about 93 out of 100 elementary school students have already consumed pornography; about 21 out of 100 young women have abortions; some 135 teenagers become victims of violence every day; 5 out of 100 adolescents contract sexually transmitted diseases; 63 out of 100 teens have sex before marriage. School teachers should take active roles in minimizing such unhappy figure and prepare the golden generation. This article proposes local culture and local moral to complete the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK+) within the challenge of the 21st century skills. The objectives are to provide pre-service English Teachers at Universitas PGRI Semarang and pre-service English teachers in general with the ability to develop English course content in the students’ cultural context as well as local characters and to equip the pre-service teachers with the 21st century skills. The subjects were 345 pre-service English Teachers who took the TEFL, Teaching Media, and ESP Courses during the academic year of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The data were collected through observation, teaching practice, and self-evaluation. The results show 84.92% of the students were included under the category of “good” and “very good” in pedagogical skills, 77.38 % in pedagogical content knowledge, and 87.53 % in cultural and local wisdom context in content development, but only 51.58% in technological knowledge. For improving technological knowledge of the pre-service students, there should be more training on the use of technology before and during the process of teaching and learning of pre-service English teachers.

Background and aim. Previous literature has discussed tensions between the field of game design and the field of education. It has been emphasized that it is important to address this tension when developing game based learning (GBL). In order to find potential ways of approaching this problem, we investigate the development of GBL when performed by those who have both pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and experience in game development. Method. Two case studies about serious games production were conducted, a game section at a national defense college and a university course in educational game design. The cases, as well as individual development projects within the settings, were analyzed with a focus on the role of PCK during serious games development. Results. While the developers and instructors at the defence college, who designed games for their in-house needs, had both PCK and knowledge about game development, these competencies varied a lot among the participants at the university course. The results show that educational goals added complexity to the design process. By comparison, some studied game projects at the university course avoided this complexity. These projects legitimized their games as educational by suggesting unproven far transfer. In other cases, where the developers did have PCK, the instructional goals where taken as a starting point that guided the whole development process. This lead to games that were designed to match highly specific educational contexts. The developers, instructors and teachers in both of the settings who used their PCK tended to break a number of established game design heuristics that would have been counter productive in relation to the learning objectives of the games. Conclusions. The paper suggests that there is a need for people with pedagogical content knowledge AND knowledge about game development. Enhancing these dual competencies in game workers could forward the field of GBL.
