EVALUATION OF TPCK USAGE LEVELS IN MATERIALS DEVELOPED WITH STOP MOTION ANIMATION TECHNIQUE

Muhammed Doğukan Balçin, Ayşegül Ergün

Abstract


During the course of their profession, teacher candidates are required to develop course materials in line with their course content. Development of course materials by teachers using their pedagogical content knowledge and technology is highly important in terms of providing an effective learning environment. The aim of the present study was to determine the extent to which science teacher candidates can use their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) while developing their course materials with the incorporation of stop motion animations. During the study, the survey method was used as a quantitative research method. The research population consisted of 62 teacher candidates from the Department of Science Teaching at the Manisa Celal Bayar University during the 2015-2016 academic year. The SPSS 18.0 software package was used for data analysis. Suggestions were made based on the results of the study.
