The Adaptation of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Confidence Survey into Turkish

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to adopt the scale developed by Graham, Burgoyne, Cantrell, Smith, and Harris (2009) and to determine the new Turkish version‟s validity and reliability after administration in Turkey. The scale was given to 393 science and technology teachers to determine its validity and reliability. The Content Knowledge (TPCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) and Technological Knowledge (TK). Reliability analysis of the instrument revealed that the Cronbach-Alpha coefficient was (.92) for the whole of the instrument. The reliability coefficients of the four subdimensions were also very high .89, .87, .89, .86 respectively for the TPCK, TPK, TCK, and TK sub-dimensions. These results showed that the scale can be used in Turkish as well
