Canbazoglu Bilici, Sedef; Guzey, S. Selcen; Yamak, Havva – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2016
Background: Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is critical for effective teaching with technology. However, generally science teacher education programs do not help pre-service teachers develop TPACK. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess pre-service science teachers' TPACK over a semester-long Science Methods. Sample:…
