Abstract

Based on the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) and the Schmidt et al. (2009) instrument which explore TPACK, this study examines a national sample of 1032 secondary teachers of computer science and measures their knowledge with respect to technology, pedagogy, content knowledge and the combination of each of these areas. Findings indicate that content knowledge and technology knowledge rating are high (average 4.38 and 4.16 respectively) and it seems that secondary teachers are less confident with their pedagogical content knowledge and their technological content knowledge (average 3.51 and 3.68 respectively).
