Integrating teacher data literacy with TPACK: A self-report study based on a novel framework for teachers' professional development

Abstract

While teachers' knowledge is widely viewed as a key aspect of professional development in the new era, little research attention has been paid to one of its key components: teacher data literacy. Accordingly, this study aimed to combine teacher data literacy with TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge), a widely-used framework for understanding and assessing teachers' knowledge. We first used qualitative methods to develop this integrated framework, then distributed a quantitative self-report survey based on the framework to teachers, and analyzed the resulting data. The qualitative phase highlighted five types of teachers' knowledge required in an integrated core knowledge system incorporating data literacy and provided insights for reflecting on teaching and learning in smart learning environments. The quantitative analysis of data from the TDL-TPACK questionnaire indicated that most teachers were competent practitioners but had some areas for improvement. Experienced teachers in their 30s and 40s performed at higher levels, while some of those aged over 50 displayed incremental decreases in performance. Other factors such as the age, experience, academic qualifications, and role of teachers may affect different aspects of their knowledge, including their data literacy. The research findings provide useful insights for additional teacher training and development programs in the context of smart education.

What are the determinants of rural-urban divide in teachers’ digital teaching competence? Empirical evidence from a large sample

“…In this context, there was an urgent need to enrich teachers' data literacy (Marín et al 2021), especially in rural areas, so that teachers should undergo training to equip themselves. What's more, data literacy, which should cover both technical and pedagogical features, needed to be integrated into the framework for teachers' professional development (Conn et al 2022;Cui and Zhang, 2022). At the region-wide level, further investment in teacher training programs needed to be encouraged to help teachers integrate data to improve their teaching practices, particularly with regard to rural teachers.…”

The digital edge: examining the relationship between digital competency and language learning outcomes

“…The results of the study of Tai et al (2022) showed that teacher-driven professional development programmers can enable instructors to take control of their students' learning experiences because they acknowledge teachers as professionals with important insights for teachers' ongoing progress. According to the study of Cui and Zhang (2022), many teachers were competent practitioners with some room for development.…”

Analisis Kemampuan TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) Guru Matematika melalui Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran

“…Guru harus memiliki kapasitas yang lebih besar untuk membuat desain pembelajaran yang inovatif dan efektif. (Cui & Zhang, 2021), perkembangan berbagai media teknologi informasi telah tumbuh memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kemajuan pendidikan di abad ini. Untuk melakukan hal ini, dibutuhkan sumber daya manusia-guru yang mampu beradaptasi dengan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, khususnya dalam pemanfaatannya di kelas (Nugroho Yanuarto et al, 2021).…”
