Measuring TPACK – Two Surveys available
This week, two advances have been made in the developing TPACK theory. Researchers have been seeking ways to reliably assess the components of TPACK, track changes over time, and find ways to compare professional development approaches on TPACK outcomes. Now, researchers have two choices for published, reliable surveys to use.
The first is by Archambault, L., & Crippen, K. (2009), recently published in the CITE Journal. It examined “a national sample of 596 K-12 online teachers and measures their knowledge with respect to three key domains as described by the TPACK framework: technology, pedagogy, content.” The two central publications are as follows:
Archambault, L. (2009, March). Putting the T in PCK: Exploring the nature of the TPACK framework among K-12 online educators using a web-based survey. Paper presented at the 2009 International Conference of the Society for the Information and Technology & Teacher Education. March 2-6, Charleston, South Carolina.

The second survey was developed as a result between Iowa State and Michigan State University. The survey and guide to its use is available here. Its use and characteristics are further described in the following articles (if you need a PW to get an article just email me).

Go forth and measure TPACK!
dear Dr.Koehler,

I am currently working on my Masters in ICT supported learning here in Oslo, Norway and what I would like to do is to explore variations in teachers perceived knowledge of/in the the three componentes and their relations. I am looking for variations based on teaching experience, formal teacher education, subjects taught etc. Do you know of any similar studies?
Best regards,
Harald
I’m not aware of specific studies. Although I know that Denice Schmidt at Iowa State has given the TPACK survey to a number of populations. Check out her work, to look for these types of differences: http://www.ci.hs.iastate.edu/profiles/dschmidt.php
Hello,
I am considering a research study using TPACK as a framework to undertand how higher education instructors integrate technology in the classroom. The surveys noted here focus on K-12 and the student perspective. Are you aware of a survey instrument or qualitative study from the perspective of higher education intructors? I really like the TPACK framework.
Dear Doc
I am in a similar position as Karen Skibba. I am currently doing a Masters at Wits University, South Africa and am employed in an open distance university, Unisa. I have read extensively on the TPCK framework and various survey instruments attempting to measure and track TPCK. However it would appear all TPCK research is focussed around pre-service teachers and in school settings. I have not been successful in locating research work done within higher education context. I managed to chat with Markus Mostert from the Rhodes University, South Africa who emailed me his paper “Using ICTs in Teaching and Learning: Reflections on Professional Development of Academic Staff”. I am looking for a little more than just reflections. Any links to sources that speaks to higher education context, particularly TPCK survey instruments used. Your assistance in this regards will be highly appreciated as I have to submit my proposal October 31 2012.
Thanking you
Michelle

hi dr,
currently I am doing a dissertation entitle tck among primary english teachers. i have read most of your articles. At the moment, I am in processing of creating questionnaires regarding tck and ict awareness. However I need your favour to get me know any papers regarding in this field. I am facing difficulty to list the number of questions about the TCK. How am I going to create questionnaires. Would you like me to use your questionnaires as my stepping stone to my thesis. Please just me some other papers regarding TCK. thank you.
dear Dr.Koehler,
I am Dr Ibrahim Al Astal , head of curriculum and instruction Dept. in islamic university of gaza , associate prof. of teaching math and interesting in math teachers preparation .

Paper presented at the 2009 How can i access to them.
thanks for your help.
sincerely
Dr Ibrahim
Like Karen, I am also considering using TPACK as a framework to look at faculty use of digital content in higher education. I have been looking for studies and an instrument used in such a context. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks,
Thanks for your interest in my work. Contact me via email for copies of specific publications.
I suggest visiting tpack.org for specific help related to the surveys.
