Özet:
The aim of this study was to identify perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and technology integration self-efficacy (TISE) of secondary mathematics teachers. In addition, the purpose was to examine the relationship between TPACK and TISE variables. Moreover, possible gender, age and years of experience diversities related to TPACK and TISE were examined. The research conducted with 138 secondary mathematics teachers from 28 different FATIH project schools in six districts of Istanbul. Turkish translated versions of TPACK-M and TISE scales were used to collect data. The results indicated that secondary mathematics teachers’ perception of TPACK and their TISE are moderate level. Moreover, there was a strong relationship between TPACK and TISE variables. According to demographic results, there was no significant difference in TPACK perception of male and female mathematics teachers while there was significant difference in TISE of mathematics teachers in favor of males. Also, small negative correlation was found between age and mathematics teachers’ TPACK perception though strong negative correlation was found between age and mathematics teachers’ TISE. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in TPACK perception and teaching experience of secondary mathematics teachers. However, there was significant difference in TISE and teaching experience of secondary mathematics teachers. More experienced mathematics teachers recorded lowest mean score for TISE. Based on the findings, it is recommended to provide professional development programs for teachers. It could be useful to use TPACK as a framework to understand what knowledge teachers must have to integrate technology into teaching and TISE as a belief to adopt current technologies.
