Technology Integration and Teacher Stages of Concern Categorized by TPACK Knowledge Types
Abstract: The Stages of Concern (SoC) framework (Hall & Hord, 1986) supports teacher change. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework (Mishra & Koehler, 2005) articulates the multi-dimensional types of teacher knowledge required for teaching with technology. This paper presents a case study of 3 English Language Arts High School teachers learning to integrate Samsung Chromebook into their classrooms. Data revealed teachers' concerns according to the SoC and TPACK frameworks; concerns were concentrated around management and technological pedagogical topics. Concerns related to other topics, although expected, were absent. These findings suggest that providing a descriptive account of teacher concerns through both SoC and TPACK frameworks may help PD developers better address pedagogy and content-appropriate technology integration.
