Constructing Technopedagogical Education based on Teacher Competencies in terms of National Standards1

Abstract

In literature, there are a number of technology integration models that could be a conceptual framework for effective technology use in the teaching process. One of these models is Technopedagogical education (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). The Technopedagogical education model is an integration model based on teacher competencies. However, although there are various studies conducted on this model in literature, there is no research carried out to determine teacher competencies based on the
Technopedagogical education model. Depending on this, the purpose of the present study was to determine teacher competencies based on Technopedagogical education. The study was carried out with the qualitative research design. The participants of the study were 24 faculty members. In the study, audio and video recordings, researcher journals and workshop documents were used as the data collection tools. For the analysis of the research data, the techniques of descriptive analysis and inductive analysis were applied. Based on the views of field experts, the obtained results revealed 20 competencies within the framework of six competency fields and 120 performance indicators defining these competencies. The obtained indicators were discussed in line with the related literature.
