Analysis of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) variables for middle school teachers through surveys in the Pasar Jambi district

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of TPACK variables on junior high school teachers in Pasar Jambi District. The type of research used is quantitative research with a survey approach via WhatsApp groups and filling out questionnaires via google forms. The data collection technique used a questionnaire and then analyzed using the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method with SmartPLS software. From the results of the analysis, there are 5 out of 12 variable relationships that have a significant effect. Seven variables do not have a considerable impact: CK variables on TCK, CK on TPACK, PCK variables on TPACK, PK variables on PCK, PK variables on TPACK, PK variables to TPK, and TPK variable to TPACK. This shows that pedagogical and content knowledge does not significantly influence the teacher's TPACK ability. This research is expected to improve teacher TPACK competence, especially in technological knowledge, because teacher TPACK abilities are strongly influenced by technological knowledge.
