Investigation of pre-service teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge and teaching skills for learning disabilities

Abstract

Two skills that pre-service teachers should have are TPACK and teaching skills for learning difficulties. In this study in which these two skills were examined, relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. 236 pre-service teachers participated in the study and TPACK skills of pre-service teachers were found to be at a good level and can be developed, while teaching skills for learning difficulties were found to be at a low level and in absolute need of improvement. It was seen that there was a significant positive relationship between TPACK skills of pre-service teachers and their teaching skills for learning disabilities.
