Validating the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Appropriate for Instructing Students (TPACK-S) of Pre-service Teachers

Abstract Based on Mishra & Koehler's idea of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), a student component had been added to form the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) appropriate to instruct student model (TPACK-S) as a useful frame to grasp complete teacher knowledge. The primary purpose of the present study was to validate the newly developed TPACK-S measurement model consisting of 15 components. Data for this pilot study were collected using the five- level Like scale questionnaires from a sample of 135 student teachers, analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, and estimated psychometric properties. The research results indicated that the TPACK-S measurement model fit the empirical data. Internal consistency between the individual factors was also strong. The implied policy implication is that the teacher equipped with TPACK-S would enhance students’ achievement.
