Technological pedagogical content knowledge of prospective mathematics teachers regarding evaluation and assessment

Abstract

The ‘technology integrated assessment process’ is an innovative method to capture and determine students’ understanding of mathematics. This assessment process is claimed to provide a singular dynamism for teaching and learning activities and it is also claimed to be of the most important elements of instruction in the educational system. In this sense, this study aims to investigate technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of prospective mathematics teachers regarding the ‘evaluation’ and ‘assessment’ process. To achieve this aim, the method of qualitative research was conducted with 20 teachers. Video records and lesson plans were collected and a Mathematics Teacher TPACK Development Model was utilized to reveal themes and key features of the data. The findings revealed that, although the majority of teachers stated that they would like to use technology-integrated tools in the assessment and evaluation processes, they strongly preferred to use traditional assessment and evaluation techniques, such as pen and paper activities, multiple-choice questions in virtual environments, etc. Hence, the evidence suggests that teachers would be unable to use appropriately the technological assessment process in order to reveal students’ understanding of mathematics. As seen from the teachers’ lectures, they perceived that technology would be suitable for evaluation and assessment but in a limited way.

The Formation of Self-Organizational Skills of Student’s Academic Activity on the Basis of ‘Time Management’ Technology

“…It is important to note that modern society requires qualified, competent, responsible teachers who are fluent in their profession, competitive on the labour market, capable of effective creative teaching activities at the level of world standards, ready to constant professional growth, social and professional mobility. It is possible under the condition of modernization of professional pedagogical education system [24]. Therefore, it is presented in our research-the problem of self-organization of educational activity of future primary education teachers on the basis of technology 'Time management' [26].…”

The Importance of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge In Teaching Reading Skills

“…);Atasoy & Aygun, (2016);Cherner & Smith, (2017);Norhiza, Zamri, & Wan Muna Razana, (2016) and;Papanikolaou, Makri, & Roussos, (2017) have been argued that PTPK strives to address the complex nature, form, and knowledge of teachers involving content knowledge, pedagogy, and technology.As a conclusion, there are seven constructs in the PTPK framework results from the complex interaction between three main knowledge constructs namely Content Knowledge (PK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PP) and Technology Knowledge (PT). The interaction of these three knowledges forms the other knowledge within the framework of the PTPK, namely Content Pedagogical Content (PPK), Pedagogical Technological Knowledge (PTP), Content Technological Knowledge (PTK) and Content Technological Knowledge Pedagogical Content (PTPK).…”
