EXAMINING THE ATTITUDES OF PRESERVICE TEACHERS TOWARD MOBILE LEARNING IN TERMS OF TECHNOPEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

Mobile learning supports a great variety of teaching approaches and could be used in individualized education. The integration of technology and education depends on the relationship between technological knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the attitudes of preservice teachers toward mobile learning and technopedagogical education competences. Working group of this study which was conducted by using the descriptive screening model consists of totally 397 senior-class preservice teachers studying in 10 different teacher training programs of two Public Universities in the Spring term of the School Year of 2016-2017. The results show that preservice teachers consider themselves highly competent in terms of technopedagogical field information and have moderate attitudes toward mobile learning. No significant difference was determined between the attitudes of preservice teachers toward mobile learning and technopedagogical field information and the variables of gender and department. The study findings revealed that there was a positive and moderate relationship between the technopedagogical field information of preservice teachers and their attitudes toward mobile learning.
