Abstract

Although there are many studies on the competencies of preservice science teachers in terms of technological pedagogical content knowledge, few studies have been conducted on prospective teachers in Kazakhstan. Moreover, further research is needed to gain new insights into prospective science teachers’ competencies in technological pedagogical content knowledge. Therefore, this study investigated the competencies of technological pedagogical content knowledge of Kazakh pre-service teachers. The data was collected using a survey. The participants were 165 pre-service science teachers. The results showed that the TPACK competencies of the pre-service teachers had a medium level. The results regarding the effects of gender on competencies showed no statistically significant differences among the six dimensions. In addition, the results regarding students’ grade levels and TPACK scores revealed no statistically significant differences in seven dimensions. The results of this study provide new insights into prospective teachers’ TPACK competencies. Suggestions are made based on the results.
