ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to develop and verify a questionnaire to
evaluate the demand for technological
pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) measurement towards teachers, as
there is a demand in the TPACK components domain to amplify their capability in
education, such as technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, content
knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, technological content knowledge,
and pedagogical content knowledge. This study added two new components such as
technological pedagogical content knowledge and contextual knowledge.
Questionnaire verification was performed through literature review, and content
verification was performed by experts, concluded by a factorial and reliability
verification. The instrument was implemented with 400 teachers who teach Malay
language subject at Secondary school in Malaysia. The verified questionnaire
had eight components, and the dependability of the instrument was quantified
using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, with a scale comprising eight subscales:
technological knowledge (.934), pedagogical knowledge (.963), content knowledge (.967), pedagogical content knowledge
(.975), technological content knowledge (.966), technological
pedagogical knowledge (.979), technological pedagogical content knowledge
(.969), and contextual knowledge (.955). Eight components were analysed using
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to determine the credibility of the structure. The results showed that the eight-factor
variable model fits well and met the
requirements of goodness of fit indices (>.90) and RMSEA (.
The knowledge and teaching skills possessed by teachers will grow in line with
their experience in national education arena. Therefore, the validation of
instrumentation was to measure and determine the components of TPACK, which are
technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge,
technological content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge,
technological pedagogical content knowledge and contextual knowledge for
teachers.
