Perceptions of Self-Efficiency and TPACK Knowledge in Preservice Teachers

This article presents the results of a study that evaluates the perceptions of self-efficacy to integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the classroom and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in teachers in training, as well as associations between these perceptions with age and gender. In total, 274 senior students from fifteen Bachelor of Education programs at the National Pedagogical University of Colombia participated in the study. Correlation analysis and mean comparison tests were applied. The results showed significant associations between perceptions of self-efficacy and TPACK and negative correlations between age and pedagogical and technological knowledge of the content. We did not find significant differences between men and women regarding their self-efficacy and TPACK.
