Development of TPACK with Web 2.0 tools: Design-based study

Abstract

This mixed-method study, which aimed to examine the development of teacher candidates, was organized as a design-based study. During the 14-week instructional sequence, pre-service teachers were given training based on the designed hypothetical learning trajectory. The data collected through the lesson plans before and after the training and interviews were organized and analyzed by using the rubric prepared within the scope of Web 2.0 tools by the researchers. Moreover, the pre-training and post-training scores obtained using this performance rubric were analyzed with the related sample t-test. In addition, learning packages and interviews were analyzed using content analysis technique. The findings showed that there was an improvement in the technological pedagogical content knowledge of the pre-service mathematics teachers with the training provided for the use of Web 2.0 tools in mathematics education. In the study, an alternative educational content that can be used in lessons related to instructional technologies in undergraduate programs that train mathematics teachers has been prepared.
