ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this study was to design and implement a professional development programme on technology integration for teachers in a public education centre based on the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework and learning by design approach, and to evaluate the programme’s impact. Ten adult education teachers in a public education centre participated in this case study research. Data sources include teacher-reflective reports, lesson plans and focus group interviews. The results revealed that the programme both enhanced teachers’ TPACK and influenced their teaching practices. The results emphasise the importance of providing information that aligns with teachers’ specific needs in adult education centres, giving teachers an active role, making opportunities available to design technology-enhanced learning artefacts while working in collaborative teams and selecting ICT tools based on typical adult learning characteristics. The study also offers suggestions for future research and practice on the design of professional development programmes.

摘要

这项研究的主要目的是基于技术教学内容知识（TPACK）框架和通过设计方法学习，设计和实施针对公共教育中心教师的技术集成专业发展计划，并评估该计划的影响。公共教育中心的十名成人教育老师参加了该案例研究。数据来源包括教师反思报告，课程计划和焦点小组访谈。结果表明，该计划既提高了教师的TPACK水平，又影响了他们的教学实践。结果强调了提供与成人教育中心教师的特定需求相符的信息的重要性，从而赋予教师积极的作用，在协作团队中工作，并根据成人的典型学习特征选择ICT工具，从而有机会设计技术增强的学习工具。该研究还为未来的专业发展计划设计研究和实践提供了建议。
