By the help of the recent studies on student-centered teaching, students have now begun to shift from memorizing to the structuring the knowledge. The researches mention that learning requires active, continuous and effective use of information. It is stated that people who can easily reach the information needed in the solution of any problem and who can add new ones to them are the people who achieve lifelong learning. One of the tasks for teachers is to show students how to achieve lifelong learning and especially how knowledge can be used in every aspect of life. There are several studies indicate that this information will be obtained more easily by integrating technology into education. Although there are observation forms that reveal the activities of teachers in the preparation of lesson activities, there are no ones measuring the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge in the course preparation processes. To the purpose of this study is to develop a valid, reliable and useful observation form for determining TPACK usage in secondary school mathematics teachers' dynamic software GeoGebra. In this study, the observation form was developed in 3 stages, namely research, pilot study, and evaluation. After the pilot study was completed, expert opinions were taken and the theoretical form was utilized. Lawshe technique was used to determine the content validity ratio. In addition, the teachers showed some behaviors not found in the observation form. These new behaviors have been evaluated and revised by the experts and finalized with the studies for the content validity.
