Against the backdrop of digitalization, it is imperative to provide pre-service teachers with adequate training opportunities foster their professional knowledge regarding technology integration in teaching-learning situations. However, date, only limited insights into empirical nature such – often subsumed under term Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (i.e., TPCK) are possible given heterogeneity prior research investigating relationship between different components. This likely due predominant use self-reports previous studies. this background, present study pursued two goals. The first goal was investigate TPCK among teachers, utilizing test-based instruments explore TPCK's from a subject-specific angle, that is, its (PCK) (TK). Given widespread self-reports, study's second examine self-reported TPCK, exploring associated factors (e.g., teachers' gender, experience teaching technologies school, or metacognitive accuracy) may explain why both measures linked weakly. Findings reveal PCK TK statistically predicted similar extent highlighting integrated TPCK. moderated by accuracy, but not gender experience. Together, these offer valuable guidance for refining teacher effective indicating need target also

Technology-enhanced teaching (TET) is most effective when integrated meaningfully into classroom settings. Teachers require technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) to achieve this integration. This study details the development and evaluation of an online professional (OPD) course aimed at enhancing teachers’ TPK for use technology in science language subjects. The was created rethink OPD, i.e., overcome known shortcomings OPD design consciously. It based on Interactive–Constructive–Active–Passive (ICAP) framework, which promotes interactive constructive learning activities. Thus, incorporated text-based video-based modules (learning nuggets), discussions about staged video vignettes showing situations with conventional vs. good by teacher, communities, practical trials group reflections. followed a pre–post involving 76 in-service teachers. Participants completed surveys test their ability apply ICAP before after OPD. revealed that teachers perceived as beneficial, though no statistically significant improvement applied observed. These findings highlight opportunities challenges designing measuring OPDs support meaningful integration practice.

In the ongoing era of digital transformation, it is imperative for teachers to equip learners with essential competences navigate intricacies landscape successfully. As future in-service function as role models and educators proper use technology, pre-service must develop adequate proficiency. This holds particularly true in Germany, where prevailing competence levels are reportedly suboptimal. To this end, an extracurricular training program teachers, based on DigCompEdu framework, was implemented from 2021 2024, coinciding COVID-19 pandemic-related limitations. A total 242 registered program, 40 completed it. Employing a pre–post design, we assessed (1) attitudes towards technology learning, (2) beliefs, (3) test-based competences. Pre–post comparisons show improvement only participants’ confidence deploying technologies subject-specific purposes. Unexpectedly, no other statistically significant differences were observed. These findings point at shortcomings which discussed highlight potential areas refinement programs curricular implementation.
