A technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) sssessment of pre-service EFL teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language



The aim of the present paper is to
measure the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of pre-service
EFL teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). In order to
collect data, a survey, designed and validated by Başer et al. (2016), was
used. The survey consists of five sections which are technological knowledge
(TK), content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), pedagogical content
knowledge (PCK) and a fifth section that combines technological content
knowledge (TCK), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), and TPACK items.
This survey intends to assess pre-service EFL teachers’ competencies in
pedagogies and technologies. The present study is quantitative in nature. The
participants of the study are 77 pre-service EFL teachers. The results indicate
that pre-service EFL teachers have a satisfactory level of competence in
technological pedagogical content knowledge; yet, there are also some areas in
which they need development.
