The document discusses measuring teachers' Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) with a focus on adding measures of teachers' attitudes and skills. It describes a study in Kuwait that measured TPACK, attitudes, and skills in pre-service science teachers before and after participating in technology-integrated lesson design teams. The study found increases in various TPACK domains as well as attitudes and skills for teachers who received blended online and in-person support compared to only in-person support. It recommends continuing to measure TPACK along with related constructs like skills, competence, and attitudes toward technology in education.
