Abstract

Pre-service teachers must effectively integrate technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) to address 21st-century educational challenges. This study aimed to assess the TPACK competency levels of pra-service teachers across all seven TPACK subcomponents. Using a quantitative survey method, the adapted TPACK framework was applied to 39 pre-service teachers and analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics. The results showed moderate proficiency across TPACK components, with the highest scores in Pedagogical Knowledge (PK; 83.25) and Technological Knowledge (TK; 82.05), followed by Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK; 80.00). In contrast, Content Knowledge (CK; 70.77) and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK; 75.38) had lower scores, indicating a gap in subject matter mastery and technology integration. Therefore, this study concludes that enhanced curriculum design, practice-based training, and targeted mentoring are essential to strengthen students’ TPACK competencies. The findings highlight significant implications for improving teacher preparation programs, field supervision, and the development of adaptive curricula to meet the demands of the digital era.
