33. Purpose of the Study To examine the relationship between the degree of modeling technology used during the teacher preparation stage and the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) of early childhood teachers in Taiwan.
34. Methods Instrument: --Demographic section, --TPACK instrument was translated and adapted from Schmidt et al. (2009) survey instrument. -- the five items of modeling technology use by the teacher education faculty 1) the use of Information Technology (IT) hardware and software in teaching and learning, 2) the use of digital materials and multimedia educational software, 3) the use of online course platform, 4) the use of online assessment, and 5) the use of CMC tools to facilitate interactions among learners and instructors. Pilot Study A total of A total of 335 early childhood teachers took the final survey and the response rate is 86%.
35. Results Five modeling technology uses during the teacher preparation stage has a mean of 3.57 (SD=.74) on a five point likert scale Self-assessed TPACK and the extent of the five technology modeling uses during the teacher preparation stage was significantly correlated at the 0.01 level with the r ranging from .4 to .628 (Table 1) A summary of stepwise regression results -- two technology modeling uses were significant predictors of the TPACK measure (p <.001). a) the use of CMC (computer-mediated communication) tools such as email, blogs, web discussion forums to facilitate interactions among learners and b) instructors and the use of digital materials and multimedia educational software (Table 2)
38. Discussions and Conclusion This present study reinforced and validated the significance of the Research from Preparing Tomorrow Teaches to Use Technology (PT3) grant projects have proposed that modeling in technology use and integration in teacher preparation course has positive effects for the preservice teachers’ future use of technology in their professional career in K-12 schools (Adamy & Boulmetis, 2005; Casey & Casey, 2004). In addition, this study provides a useful approach for using TPACK survey research to examine approaches to technology integration.

Notes de l'éditeur
a way to encourage professors to think about developing tpack in using this frame in their own instruction. Using the TPACK framework to guide our research design, we developed an instrument with the purpose of measuring preservice teachers’ self-assessment of TPACKAssess the development of TPACK in an introductory preservice teacher technology course in a longitudinal research study that involves the use of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
Data is gathered at specific checkpoints during the preservice teachers’ preparation program. As part of this study, preservice teachers are tracked during their teacher education program and asked to complete the survey after completing their instructional technology course, methodology courses (e.g., literacy, science, social studies, mathematics) and after they complete student teaching. Additional qualitative research studies are also conducted to examine how these same preservice teachers demonstrate TPACK related tendencies in PreK-6 classrooms during practicum and student teaching experiences. We have currently completed the first steps in a three- to five-year, longitudinal research project by collecting the survey data from preservice teachers who took the technology course. These findings of preservice teacher classroom behavior will be compared to how they responded to the survey at various times during their preparation program. The goal will be to use what we observe in classrooms to validate the preservice teachers’ responses from the survey.
I will echo Ann’s words and it has been really a professional development actiivity for all of us, getting our heads around what TPACK means. I think what we are doing is, we are trying to get into that operationalizing period. Where now this is what they are saying and here is what it looks like. We wanted to know our thoughts on where we are going with this and our research plan. We do see this as longigutional and what we are looking for. When we developed this survey we were very clear on the audience and hopefully what we published and what we put publicly. We designed this specifically with our work with Michigan State

This survey approach will allow us to trace the development of TPACK throughout the program; sets a frame for developing TPACK throughout the teacher education program, emphasizing pedagogy and content as well
