Abstract

With the proven benefits of and increased interest in using technology in education, the role of teachers has become more important in integrating technology into mathematics classroom. Thus, it is important to improve preservice teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK), which are influenced by their beliefs. This study examines how preservice secondary mathematics teachers' experience and beliefs related to technology use in the mathematics classrooms impact their TPACK. The results of this study show that preservice teachers who have more experience using technology and who hold student-centered beliefs towards technology use display higher levels of technology-related knowledge than preservice teachers who have little experience and who hold teacher-centered beliefs. Understanding the relationships between preservice teachers' TPACK and beliefs provides insights into how teacher education programs can support preservice teachers to develop TPACK and integrate technology into their future mathematics instruction.

교육에서의 테크놀로지 사용으로 인한 혜택과 이에 대한 관심이 커지면서, 테크놀로지를 통합한 수학 수업에서 교사의 역할이 더욱 중요해졌다. 따라서 예비 교사의 기술적 교육학적 내용 지식 (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: TPACK)을 발전시키는 것이 중요하며, 이는 그들의 신념에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 예비 고등 수학 교사들의 수학수업에서의 테크놀로지 사용에 관한 경험과 신념이 그들의 TPACK에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 조사 하였다. 연구 결과, 테크놀로지 사용 경험이 많고 학생 중심적 테크놀로지 사용에 관한 신념을 가진 예비 교사들이, 경험이 적고 교사 중심의 신념을 가진 예비 교사들 보다 테크놀로지에 관한 지식이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 예비 교사들의 TPACK과 신념의 관계에 대한 이해는 예비 교사들이 TPACK을 발전 시키고 테크놀로지 통합 수업을 할 수 있도록 하기 위해, 교사 교육 프로그램이 어떻게 지원 해야 할 것인지에 관한 통찰을 제공한다.
