Abstract:

“The present study aims at investigating the effect of technology integration in general and normalization of CALL in particular on Iranian teachers’ technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK). It also examines teachers’ main opportunities and challenges with normalization of CALL. In this regard, 16 teachers taught a course with the goal to integrate computer technology fully. The researchers implemented a TPACK questionnaire before and after the course and a semi-structured interview after the course. Observations also helped the researchers to gain a complementary understanding of the process of CALL normalization and how teachers deal with their new roles. The results revealed that technology-related knowledge domains developed significantly. The results also showed that Iranian educational society is highly sensitive to instructional technology and its use in education.”
