Original Concept

The article focuses on an educational tool called Concept Cartoons and its possible use in professional preparation of future primary school teachers. In particular, it presents the method of how Concept Cartoons can be employed as a tool for diagnosing subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics. The first part of the contribution introduces the concept of teachers' knowledge that is used in the article, and the Concept Cartoon tool. It describes the original Concept Cartoons method for classroom use at primary and secondary school levels that was established by Keogh and Naylor, and then it introduces our work on diagnostic Concept Cartoons method, including a commented summary of our recent research on qualitative diagnosis of subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics. The second part of the contribution introduces another step in the methodology, a mixed approach to the issue that enables to enrich the qualitative results with quantitative characteristics. The mixed method is illustrated through a small empirical study that shows how exactly the quantitative enrichment might be provided.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service primary school teachers’ (PPSTs) pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) on quadrilaterals. In this study, the PCK components of knowledge of understanding students (KUS) and knowledge of instructional strategies (KIS) were used. The participants of the study consisted of 83 PPSTs studying at the primary education department of a university in Turkey. The illustrative case study method was used, while six scenarios were used as the data collection tool developed by researchers. The data obtained from open-ended scenarios were analyzed by using the summative content analysis technique. As a result of the study, it was observed that the KUS of the PPSTs about quadrilaterals was not on the desired level. Moreover, the KIS of the PPSTs was also not on the desired level. As a result of the study, it was observed that, in the process of eliminating the mistakes of students, the PPSTs preferred mainly the "Direct Instructional" method, which is based on traditional approaches and centers the teacher.

Significant Difference

Primary school teachers need to have technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge in online teaching. TPACK is an integrative and transformative knowledge that teachers need to use technology effectively and efficiently in the classroom. This article investigates primary school teachers' perceptions of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) competencies in implementing online learning due to the pandemic COVID-19. The sample in this study were 117 primary school teachers in North Sulawesi province. The method used is a quantitative descriptive approach. Data was collected using a questionnaire on a Likert scale developed in Google Form. The results showed that most primary school teachers in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, already had TPACK competencies in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, TPACK competencies are in need to be improved in the abilities of TK and PK. The correlation results between the TPACK constructs also showed that the PK and TPK components had a significant effect on TPACK primary school teachers' perception of online learning. It was also found that there was no significant difference between gender and TPACK competency of primary school teachers.
