Abstract
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Levels of Atatürk’s Principles and History of Turkish Revolution Instructors
Twenty-five instructors were included in the current study, which aims to examine the levels of technological and pedagogical content of the instructors of Atatürk’s Principles and the History of Turkish Revolution in different state universities in our country. The purpose of the study is to provide these participants with the Scale of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPIB) developed by Basher and his friends (2016) and used by Saricoban and his friends (2019).Scale (a) consists of sub-components and 33 items as Technological Knowledge (TB) (Article 9), (b) Content Knowledge (PU) (Article 3), (c) Pedagogical Knowledge (PB) (Article 6), (d) Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PIB) (Article 2), (e) Technological Content Knowledge (TIB) (Article 3), (f) Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPB) (Article 7) and (g) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPIB) (Article 3). The questionnaire is of type 5 Likert scale and includes the answers in the form of strongly disagree (1), disagree (2), neither agree nor disagree (3), agree (4), strongly agree (5).The reliability of the original questionnaire is 946 and the reliability of the version used in our study is 930. In the light of the data obtained in the study, it was found that the participants’ perceptions of the technological and pedagogical content levels of knowledge were positive. Although there is no difference in gender and age between the levels of technological and pedagogical self-sufficiency of the instructors teaching Atatürk’s Principles and the History of Turkish Revolution, it has been detected as a result of statistical analysis that there is positivity in those who are more advanced in terms of age.It is recommended for other researchers who consider working on the same topic to use both semi-configured interview techniques to study the subject from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective and increase the number of examples.
