This mixed-methods explanatory sequential study of K-6 classroom teachers and education technology leaders (ETLs) examined their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and awareness of New York State's Computer Science and Digital Fluency (NYS-CS/DF) Learning Standards. Combined, the findings provide guidance for a successful rollout…

Background: TPACK is a widely used framework for assessing teachers' competence in integrating technology in education. However, previous studies have shown varying interpretations of the relationship between TPACK elements. Qualitative studies that assess the manifestations of TPACK by examining the practices of pre-service teachers are rare.…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become increasingly important in modern society and are poised to play an increasingly prominent role in education. This paper seeks to provide a theoretical framework for interrogating the integration of AI in education spaces. The paper argues that the eventual response of educators to…

Previous investigations into first year calculus students' understandings of tangent lines have revealed common misconceptions arising either from students' prior experiences with the topic or from the treatment of the subject in the calculus classroom. This study seeks to examine in-service secondary mathematics teachers' conceptions of tangent…

Examining teachers' knowledge on a large scale involves addressing substantial measurement and logistical issues; thus, existing teacher knowledge assessments have mainly consisted of selected-response items because of their ease of scoring. Although open-ended responses could capture a more complex understanding of and provide further insights…

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is the knowledge teachers use to teach a specific subject to a specific audience. The importance of PCK to quality teaching is widely recognized. However, an overview of research about geography teachers' PCK is missing. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic review. We analyzed 43 empirical studies, but…

In this theoretical paper, I review the history of research in educational psychology that inspired Shulman's notion of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and I critically examine interpretations of PCK reflected in prominent theoretical frameworks for mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). I propose a theory of PCK--grounded in radical…

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of newly hired social studies educators currently employed in varying high schools throughout the State of Illinois. Specifically, this study sought to explore newly hired social studies teachers' perceptions of their teacher preparation program, and how…

This exploratory study investigated Tuskegee University contingent faculty's integration of technology in instruction, their knowledge of tech-related pedagogy, and self-efficacy regarding learning and integrating technology in the classroom. The data consisted of eight thematic interviews with items derived from the modified HE-TPACK and…

This quantitative research collected information from secondary mathematics educators about their self-efficacy on technology use, their technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK), and their level of technology implementation according to the levels on the SAMR model. These four levels are Substitution, Augmentation, Modification,…

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) consists of a set of understandings, knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for effective performance in specific teaching and learning situations. Using Scopus, EBSCO, and Web of Science databases, the study examines the progress of the PCK in science teacher education between 2011 and 2021. In total, 59…

This study examines teachers' level of knowledge of inclusive education as well as their perceptions of the practice. Participants were a sample of 162 teachers in Fiji. Results indicate that the participants demonstrated professional knowledge of inclusive education, with a good understanding of inclusive education as indicated by their high…

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is a fundamental component for effective teaching and plays a crucial role in teacher education. Even though pre-service teachers are engaged in training to improve their PCK, the literature reveals that most of their difficulties in practicum courses stem from their PCK. The purpose of this research is to…

Research indicates that institutions and teachers' pedagogical and content knowledge are essential to student learning and achievement. Nevertheless, teachers' knowledge and practices have been researched primarily in K-12th grades. Therefore, there is a gap in understanding teaching practices in higher education. Moreover, research has forgotten…

This paper presents the Educational Technology Social Justice Matrix based on a review of thirty-eight recent papers from a search for the terms "educational technology" and "social justice." The papers were reviewed using the SJPACK Model (Dyches & Boyd, 2017) for social justice in education, and educational technology…
