Profile of senior high school in-service physics teachers’ technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK)

Abstract

This research is aimed to find out TPACK of high school in-service Physics teachers in North Maluku by using TPACK survey instrument that consist of 7 components, namely Technological Knowledge (TK), Content Knowledge (CK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) and TPACK in Likert scale. The data of TPACK perceptions were analysed using descriptive statistics, whereas teachers’ TPACK differences in gender and experience of teaching were analysed using Mann Whitney test by SPSS 20 because the samples were small samples. The result of data analysis shows that TPACK perception of senior high school in-service Physics teachers is still in the low category. The components are TK, TCK, TPK, and TPCK that related to technology. Based on gender data analysis, it is known that there is significant difference only on TCK component, whereas based on teachers’ experience of teaching, significant differences were found in components of PK, PCK, and TPCK. Based on these research result can be conclude that TPACK of teachers are still constrained on components related to technology so that the ability of teachers in integrating technology in learning is still not maximized.
