Journal article entitled TPACK in Elementary and High School Teachers’
Self-reported Classroom Practices with the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) arranged by Lefebvre, Samson, Gareau, Brouillette (2016) is aimed to
examines the elementary and high school teachers’ self-reported practices with
the interactive whiteboard (IWB) specially focus on kinds of knowledge that
teachers deployed according to self-reports in discussion groups. Interactive
whiteboard itself is an electronic whiteboard device which the teachers can
display content project from a computer, tablet or other source. It is usually
used for multimedia presentation. Meanwhile, teachers’ self-reported is what
teachers do in their class when students are present as well as what they do
when they prepare their lesson plans and lesson activities (Lefebvre, 2005).
According to Beillerot (2000), the essential feature of ‘practice’ is its
double dimensionality. There are actions, behaviors and languages. In the other
hand, there are rules, objectives, strategies and ideals.
This study adopted a qualitative approach involving about 300 teachers
who working in both public elementary school and high school in province of
Quebec, Canada with an average teaching experience of 13 years. The data
collected by using interview which is contained 13 questions design. An overall
predominance of meaning units referring to Technological Pedagogical Knowledge
(TPK) and Technological Knowledge (TK) with equivalent proportion of 36% of the
total meaning units (n=392), while Technical Content Knowledge (TCK),
Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK), Pedagogical Knowledge
(PK), and Content Knowledge (CK) accounts for 16%, 9%, 2% and 1%. Based on the
data, can be revealed that the teachers referred must often to their use of
Technological Knowledge (TK) and Technological and Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
in self-reported practice with the IWB.
