nvestigation Relations between the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Efficacy Levels and Self-Efficacy Perception Levels of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determinerelationships between the pre-service math teachers’ TPACK efficacy and self-efficacy perception levels. In the study it was focused on the polygons one of the geometry subjects,and pre-serviceteachers’ Content Knowledge(CK),PedagogicalContentKnowledge(PCK),TechnologicalContent Knowledge (TCK), and Technological Pedagogical ContentKnowledge (TPACK) levels were examined. Correlationalresearch approach was used in theresearch. The participants composed of 88 pre-serviceteachers who were attendedin Special Teaching Methods II course. In order to evaluate the pre-serviceteachers’CK, PCK, TCK, TPACK efficacy levels in the collection of data, Multiple Choice Achievement Test on Polygons, Question Forms, Lesson Plan Preparation Method and Participant Report were used. AlsoTPACK Regarding Geometry Instrument was used to evaluate pre-serviceteachers’ TPACK self-efficacy levels.In conclusionaccording to the results obtained from different data sources in the study, for the TPACK efficacy scores and self-efficacy scores there is no statistically significant relation for both pre-test and post-test.
