Fostering TPACK in pre-service physics teachers during the covid-19 pandemic

The pandemic situation forces the educational system to respond to a variety of issues. During the pandemic, it’s essential to learn more about Technological-Pedagogical-Content-Knowledge (TPACK) and how it can be incorporated into pre-service physics teacher preparation. This qualitative research collects data from ten online teaching videos and ten offline teaching videos of 20 pre-service physics teachers. This study attempts to comprehend the appearance of each TPACK component by analyzing the videos with an observation sheet. The observation sheet explored seven components of TPACK, which are Content Knowledge (CK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological and Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological and Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and the last is Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) itself. The result showed that pre-service teachers were determined good TPACK skills, but lacked in certain components. From the result, in both online and offline microteaching, participants rarely showed their TPK. In online activities, it is also seen that participants were faced difficulties in applying their PCK. The different nature of online and offline microteaching drives the need for teacher education institutions to plan and implement microteaching in the pedagogical courses to improve pre-service teachers’ TPACK in both situations.

Based on the data analysis that has been done, we obtained descriptive-quantitatively using the Likert scale percentage score criteria. The results show that the percentage of validity in the aspect of Curriculum Conformity of 91.30 % (very valid). The material aspect is 93.45 % (very valid). The language aspect is 91.67 % (very valid). The media design aspect of 91.91 % (very valid). Scientific literacy aspect of 87.50 % (very valid). Overall the level of validity of the E-LS has an average of 91.17 % (very valid). It can be concluded that the E-LS media (temperature topic) is very suitable for use as a science-physics learning medium to train science literacy for junior high school students.

Accelerating teacher career through improving competence in scientific publications: Physics teacher perspectives

In promotion of teachers career to a higher level are required to write scientific papers. This study aims to describe the physics teacher’s perspective on the promotion process they have experienced so far and the obstacles they face. This research is a descriptive research, data collection through questionnaire and information deepening is done through interviews. The sample of this research is 73 physics teachers. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be seen that more than 65% of physics teachers have difficulty in fulfilling scientific publication requirements for promotion, 85% of respondents have done classroom action research (CAR), but only about 44% have published in the form of scientific articles. In general, teachers have experience in conducting CAR, but they still lack experience in writing scientific articles. Most physics teachers expect local schools and education offices to cooperate with universities to organize training and mentoring of scientific publications. This study can be concluded that the main obstacle to the promotion of physics teachers is caused by the low ability to carry out scientific publications. The results of this study are expected to provide consideration to stakeholders in making decisions and actions related to teacher promotion, especially regarding the mandatory requirements for scientific publications.
