Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study focuses in determining the TPCK of Public Secondary Science teachers in the new normal education using the TPCK framework. Through quantitative research design, survey questionnaires, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, the results shows that the science teachers are knowledgeable in teaching science content with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) which are align with the standard of the qualities of an effective science teachers as indicated in (SEI-DOST&UP NISMED 2011) and (Deped Order 42s.2017). It is concluded that the teachers are well – equipped with ample knowledge on TK,PK,CK,TPK,TCK,PCK and TPCK based on the students, teachers and administrators perspectives. Generally, the teachers’ demographic profile has no remarkable influence on their knowledge level on TK,PK,CK,TPK,TCK,PCK and TPCK. However, the students’, teachers and administrators’ perspectives mark significant variation pertaining to the teachers’ level of knowledge on TPCK. Although they are one in agreement that the teachers are technologically knowledgeable in teaching science.
