TPACK 4.0 – interdisciplinary, practice- and evidence-based for developing pre-service teachers' TPACK
Short Description | In the project TPACK 4.0, the Weingarten University of Education and the Tübingen School of Education developed subject-specific modules to foster pre-service teachers subject-specific teching with educational technology (TPACK; Mishra & Koehler, 2006). The modules are based on the TPACK and the SQD-framework (Tondeur et al., 2012) and were implemented into central subject pedagogies of the two universities for secondary education. The preservice teachers learned in a self-regulated manner in computer-assisted individual self-learning phases. The step-by-step approach to medai-based teaching practice was complemented by practical exercise. The modules were accompanied by systematic research. |
| (First) Findings | We investigated the effectiveness of the modules by means of a quasi-experimental field study (see Lachner et al., 2021). Pre-service teachers (N=208), enrolled in five subjects, attended regular semester courses on subject-matter pedagogies. In half of the courses, we randomly assigned subject-specific TPACK-modules, in which pre-service teachers were taught in applying technology for subject-matter teaching, whereas the control condition attended the regular courses without the TPACK-module. We showed that pre-service teachers in the courses with the TPACK-modules acquired more TPACK than those in the control courses without the TPACK-modules. Significant effects were also demonstrated for pre-service teachers' technology-related self-efficacy and their perceived support for technology integration. |
