| Popis: | 103 Teachers’professional growth and Technological Pedagogical Content are the main items in “The Plan of University Excellent Teaching Awards” at present. However, Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge is a very important indicator to evaluate teachers’ profession. However, a majority of the research on TPACK is focusing on primary or secondary schooling, very few on college teachers’ TPACK. Therefore,”The Questionnaire of Assessing Students’ Perceptions of College Teachers’ TPACK”(Jang,2010) was adopted to analyzed three teachers in Physics Department and their classes in order to promote teachers’ TPACK. Through the case study approach,quantitative and qualitative analysis were adopted. In quantitative data, four categories of TPACK questionnaire, included Subject Matter Knowledge,SMK; Instructional Representation & Strategies,IRS; Knowledge of Student’s Understanding,KSU and Technological Integration & Application, TIA, would be analyzed about the degree of transformation. In qualitative data, teacher workshops and student feedback were collected to be discussed and analyzed. The results show that there were significant differences in two physics college teachers, and that teachers’ TPACK could improve effectively. On the other hand, we also found pros and cons of teacher performances on 4 categories and supported instructional diagnosis and suggestions. Generally speaking, three teachers in Physics Department, IRS and KSU were worse than SMK and TIA. For this reason, the study proposed three teachers in Physics Department should take students’ majors, prior knowledge and learning difficulties into account before teaching and design to fit Technological Pedagogical Content into courses and assessments. In addition, teacher also should regulate their teaching strategies and make students feel interested in order to promote teaching and learning. |
