ABSTRACT

As technology become more ubiquitous in the classroom, teachers need to overcome two types of barriers to use it effectively: access to resources (including the development of knowledge) and the development of appropriate beliefs. To assist teachers in overcoming these barriers, we must understand the relationships that exist among them. We examined relationships between middle grade prospective teachers' beliefs and their technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge framework (TPACK). We found possible relationships between their beliefs about the nature of mathematics, learning and teaching mathematics, and the use of technology and their content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge, respectively.

RÉSUMÉ

À mesure que les technologies deviennent de plus en plus présentes dans les salles de classe, les enseignants doivent surmonter deux types de difficultés pour pouvoir les utiliser de façon efficaces : avoir accès aux ressources (y compris le perfectionnement des connaissances) et adopter l'attitude appropriée. Pour aider les enseignants à surmonter ces obstacles il est important de comprendre les relations qui entrent en jeu. Nous avons analysé les liens qui existent entre l'attitude des enseignants de deuxième cycle du primaire et leur cadre TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). Nous avons identifié des liens possibles entre les opinions des enseignants sur la nature des mathématiques, de l'apprentissage et de l'enseignement des mathématiques, l'utilisation des technologies et leur niveau de connaissance des contenus, leur niveau de connaissance des contenus pédagogiques, et leur niveau de connaissance des contenus pédagogiques technologiques respectivement.

Notes

1. We use the abbreviation TPACK to refer to Mishra and Koehler's (Citation2006) framework as a whole and we use TPCK to refer to the piece of that framework called technological pedagogical content knowledge.
