Development of the TTF TPACK Survey Instrument: A Summary

-
Hi everyone,
Hope today runs as you expected. Still with TPACK, this time I am going to write a summary from a paper entitled development of the TF TPACK survey instrument written by Romina Jamieson-Proctor (University of Southern Queensland), Peter Albion (university of Southern Queensland), Glenn Finger (Griffith University), Rob Cavanagh (Curtin University), Robert Fitzgerald (university of Canberra), Trevor Bond (James Cook University), and Peter Grimbeek (Griffith University). The paper was submitted for Australian Educational Computing journal volume 27 number 3, 2013.
The project (teaching teachers for the future = TTF) is funded by Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) through ICT Innovation fund. The paper summarizes the development and psychometric properties of TPACK survey instruments that was developed to use in TTF project. As we know that TPACK helps teachers and educators to bridge the gap between research and curriculum design and provide guidance for them in implementing their ideas. Digital Education Revolution (DER) initiated by Australian Government recognized that educators need pedagogical knowledge, confidence, skills, and resources and support them to use online tools to encourage the students (AICTEC, 2009 p6).
There are three components in TTF projects and those are extension of the graduate teacher standards to include ICT dimension associated with national professional standards for teachers (AITSL, 2011), development of professional learning packages demonstrating ICT in English, Mathematics, Science and History, and development of NSN (National Support Network) to create systemic change in pre-service teachers education relate to ICT. The aim of the research is to enhance the TPACK capabilities of pre-service teachers.
There were self-report questionnaires and performance-based assessment to measure TPACK development in pre-service teachers. To overcome some difficulties in framing the TPACK questions, Albion, Kamieson-Proctor and Finger (2010) created a self-instrument to audit pre-service teacher (TPACK confidence survey = TCS). One of examples in the questionnaire is asking about how the students use the technology to achieve the learning goals. The survey instrument focused on TPACK elements that has relation with technology and knowledge. The first 20-item scale was asked the opinion of the pre-service teachers about how school integrate ICT in curriculum. The second one, there was 24 items to explore TPK and TCK.
The survey has seven categories and three of them were labeled as not confident (0), moderate confident (3) and extremely confident (6). The instrument was implemented using Qualtrics TM online survey software and administered in May-July 2011 and October-November 2011 for all teacher preparation program at HEIs. The parametric analysis was conducted with IBM SPSS v20 and AMOS 20.
The first step that they did is analyzed to investigate 24-item group. Then, those groups were anaylised using Rach rating Scale Model (Andrich, 1978; Bond and Fox, 2007).   The pre-test scale were duplicated from post-test data (changes from T1 to T2).

To sum up, it could be said that TTF TPACK survey was constructed by TTF REWG based on previous research and instrument to measure TPACK. The instrument was based on factor structure, those are TCK and TPK, and TPACK. The four factors of TTF TPACK survey was used to designed about the measure components of TPACK framework. TTF TPACK survey relates to recent trends and it is suggested that the TTF TPACK survey is appropriate for digital technologies, curriculum changes and contribute in researching further TPACK.
