Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of acmeological-based teaching activities in foreign language lessons on learners' foreign language self-efficacy, foreign language learning motivation and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) skills. The research was carried out in the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Department of the Theory and Practice of Foreign Languages Training of a university in Kazakhstan in the 2021-2022 academic year. The study, which was conducted with 35 students in the experimental and 35 control groups for 6 weeks, was designed according to the experimental model with the control group, which is one of the quantitative research methods. Foreign language learning self-efficacy scale, foreign language learning motivation scale and TPACK skill test were used as data collection tools in the study. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in the post-test scores (foreign language learning self-efficacy, foreign language learning motivation and TPACK skill test scores) of the experimental group, in which activities based on the acmeological approach, and the control group, in which traditional teaching was applied.

“…The use of technology in language teaching has many benefits.

“…Furthermore, the results of the analysis of the teachers' ability of integrating TPACK are excellent, particularly in aspects of Kindergarten, TCK, and TPK (Fajero et al, 2021;Santos & Castro, 2021). Additionally, Joldanova et al, (2022) stated that incorporating TPACK into learning increases students' motivation and self-efficacy because the presence of technology facilitates access for students to obtain teaching material based on the needs of the subject matter, as well as having an impact on the development of confidence, social skills, and communication.…”

Examination of 21st Century Skills and Technological Competences of Students of Fine Arts Faculty

“…Statistical SPSS package programs were used in the data analysis process of the study. Before starting the data analysis, it is necessary to determine the normality of the distribution and the homogeneity of variance in order to decide which statistical techniques to use (Joldanova et al, 2022). For this reason, first of all, skewnesskurtosis values, Q-Q Plot, graphics of the data were evaluated and Kolmogorov -Smirnov and Shapiro -Wilk normality tests were performed.…”
