Abstract:

“The integration of modern technologies is a challenge for society, and schools are no stranger to this reality, where the role of teachers is key to their adequate development. The aim is to present the results obtained from the analysis of the knowledge presented by teachers in relation to the context and components of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge. The method was based on quantitative, non-experimental and transactional aspects. Descriptive, comparative and correlational analyzes were carried out using SPSS version 26. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 355 basic education teachers from the province of Valparaíso. The Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge questionnaire adapted to the Chilean reality was used as an instrument. The results show that teachers had higher levels of pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge compared to technology teachers. Female teachers showed higher levels of knowledge in most of the Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge dimensions. On the other hand, teachers from private subsidized schools and those with master’s degrees showed better results in all dimensions of the Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge. In addition, the existence of positive correlations between the variables studied was confirmed, highlighting those related to technological knowledge.”
