Developing TPACK in Science and Mathematics Teacher Education in Tanzania: A Proof of Concept Study

Résumé

Abstract Since 1997, the government of Tanzania has made several attempts at introducing technology into education. However, despite these efforts technology has not become integrated into educational practice. A main reason is that teachers do not embrace the use of technology in their teaching. This study was initiated to design, implement and evaluate a professional development arrangement aimed at promoting teachers’ use of technology in their teaching practice. The study started with a ‘proof of concept’ study. Based on experiences in Ghana and Kuwait, a professional development arrangement was developed that incorporated ‘learning technology by design’ to prepare pre-service science and math teachers for using technology in their teaching. The experiences from this study informed the design of a professional development arrangement for practicing science teachers. The iterative design, implementation and evaluation of the professional development arrangements will be presented and discussed.
