Assembling the Pieces Together: What Are the Most Influential Components in Mathematics Preservice Teachers' Development of Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK

Abstract: The integration of knowledge of technology, content, and pedagogy is a model to prepare preservice teachers to integrate technology in teaching mathematics, known as Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) (Pierson, 1999; Niess, in press). The question in the study is “What components in program that integrate technology throughout the program are related to the development of preservice teachers ’ TPCK? Technology coursework, microteaching, worksample are combined to help preservice teachers develop their TPCK. Journal, questionnaires, and observations from eight mathematics preservice teachers participated in the study reported that coursework was valued as main source of knowledge of technology, content, and pedagogy followed by the work sample, and microteaching. Cooperating teacher was considered as important source of knowledge of pedagogy and content. While faculty was considered as main source of technology, university supervisor was as source of knowledge of pedagogy.
