Self-Evaluation of the Pre-Service Physical Educators on their Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge

Abstract

The research examines the current state of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPCK) of preservice physical educators at Cagayan State University. The study used a quantitative research design. Frequency and percentage were used to describe the demographic profile of the respondents, and the weighted mean was used to interpret the results. Furthermore, the independent sample t-test was used to determine the significant differences in TPCK levels when grouped according to their profile. According to the findings of the study, pre-service physical educators have a high level of competence in technological knowledge and are very high in the remaining six domains. Furthermore, findings indicate that the interrelationship between TPCK domains is significant. However, the result shows that there is no significant difference between the demographic profile of the respondents and their current perceived TPCK level. Thus, pre-service physical educators at Cagayan State University consider the relationships among all three areas and acknowledge that educators are acting within this complex space.
