AbstrakTeknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) telah berkembang begitu pesat dalam satu dekade terakhir ini. Perkembangan tersebut mengakibatkan banyak perubahan hampir di segala bidang, tak terkecuali bidang pendidikan. Pemanfaatan TIK dalam bidang pendidikan, salah satunya dibutuhkan sebagai upaya efisiensi dan efektifitas proses pembelajaran. Akan tetapi, ada banyak hambatan yang dihadapi dalam penerapannya, diantaranya kurangnya pemahaman guru terhadap teknologi. Penelitian ini berupaya mendeskripsikan pemahaman guru tersebut, ditinjau dari kerangka kerja TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge). Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 24 guru matematika SMA di daerah tertinggal di propinsi Banten. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif. Pengaruh usia, jenis kelamin, dan lama mengajar guru terhadap konstruksi TPACK dianalisis menggunakan analysis of variance (ANOVA). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Di antara komponen TPACK, hanya TK (Technological Knowledge) dan TCK (Technological Content Knowledge) yang berkorelasi signifikan terhadap pengetahuan TPACK guru; 2) Persepsi guru terhadap TPACK dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh faktor usia, sedangkan jenis kelamin dan lama mengajar guru tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Measuring Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Mathematic Teacher at Senior High School in Underdeveloped RegionAbstractInformation and Communication Technology (ICT) has growth for the last decade. Consequently, it influences on all areas include education. Education needs ICT to make learning process more effective and dynamic. However, there are many barriers to implement of ICT. One of barriers is about teachers’ perception on ICT. This research describes teachers’ perception on ICT teachers using TPACK framework. This research conducted at senior high school mathematics teachers in underdeveloped region of Banten. Furthermore, the relative impact of age, gender, duration of teaching on the TPACK is analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of this research are: among the TPACK component, only TK (Technological Knowledge) and TCK (technological content knowledge) were significant correlation with teacher’s TPACK perception; 2) variable of age is significant influenced on teachers’ TPACK perceptions, while the gender and duration of teaching are not significant.

AbstractThe purpose of this research is to analyze the competence of teachers as part of the teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge in applying scientific approach in Mathematics PLPG (in-service teacher education and professional training) program rayon 138 Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 2014. The research method used is descriptive with quantitative approach. The subjects of the study consisted of 23 mathematics teachers including mathematics teachers of junior high school, high school and vocational school from Kebumen, Purworejo, and Magelang. Data was collected by filling in a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the training, observing microteaching activities, and documenting the learning material arranged by PLPG participants. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that PLPG especially PLPG rayon 138 Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 2014 gives benefits for the development of teachers’ PCK, especially in terms of teachers’ competence in applying scientific approach. Based on the analysis of learning materials arranged by the teachers and analysis of learning videos, it is known that the majority of the teachers have been able to construct a learning material using scientific approach and implement it properly.  Keywords: teacher’s competence, pedagogical content knowledge, scientific approach, PLPG

What knowledge do you need to be an effective instructor? One key type of knowledge is pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), which includes awareness of how students are likely to think about a topic and where they will struggle as they learn that topic. We propose PCK as a valuable framework for reflecting on your own knowledge for teaching topics in evolution. We have created a searchable file that uses PCK as a framework to organize over 400 peer-reviewed papers from 40+ journals to give you better access to relevant resources for teaching evolution to undergraduates and advanced high school students. None of us have time to read 400 papers to inform our teaching, so we provide tips to maximize your use of this collective knowledge in the time you have available. We have written these to be useful to instructors across career stages.

The topic of acid–base chemistry is one of the oldest in general chemistry courses and it has been almost continuously in academic discussion. The central purpose of documenting the knowledge and beliefs of a group of ten Mexican teachers with experience in teaching acid–base chemistry in high school was to know how they design, prepare and organize their classes inside and outside the classroom, from which a set of teaching–learning sequences will be developed, essentially to train new teachers. We decided to document Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), by means of two methodological tools from Loughran, Mulhall and Berry: Content Representation (CoRe), and Pedagogical and Professional experience Repertoire (PaP-eR). In this article, we relate only the first of these tools. It was also important to document concepts, skills and attitudes, so we have made the analysis based on these three items. The main finding was to construct a Canonical PCK including the central concepts of pH and strength in the topic of acid–base chemistry from the main phrases included in the Content Representation answered by those outstanding Mexican teachers. We chose the topic of “acid–base chemistry” because there are numerous examples of its importance related to sustainability (among them acid rain or acidification of oceans), everyday issues (including stomach acidity, antacids, health troubles with the pH of blood and urine), or problems with the longevity of books related to the acidity of paper. Also, it is of fundamental importance because the students often present many alternative conceptions about it.
