Abstract:

 


By the help of the recent studies on
student-centered teaching, students have now begun to shift from memorizing to
the structuring the knowledge. The researches mention that learning requires
active, continuous and effective use of information. It is stated that people who can easily reach
the information needed in the solution of any problem and who can add new ones
to them are the people who achieve lifelong learning. One of the tasks for
teachers is to show students how to achieve lifelong learning and especially
how knowledge can be used in every aspect of life. There are several studies
indicate that this information will be obtained more easily by integrating
technology into education. Although there are observation forms that reveal the
activities of teachers in the preparation of lesson activities, there are no ones
measuring the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge in the course
preparation processes. To the purpose of this study is to develop a valid,
reliable and useful observation form for determining TPACK usage in secondary
school mathematics teachers' dynamic software GeoGebra. In this study, the
observation form was developed in 3 stages, namely research, pilot study, and
evaluation. After the pilot study was completed, expert opinions were taken and
the theoretical form was utilized. Lawshe technique was used to determine the
content validity ratio. In addition, the teachers showed some behaviors not
found in the observation form. These new behaviors have been evaluated and
revised by the experts and finalized with the studies for the content validity.
