Abstract

This mixed methods study explores the correlation between digital literacy and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among pre-service English teachers at a Turkish state university. With 118 junior and senior participants, the study employs the Digital Literacy Scale and TPACK-Deep Scale for quantitative data, supplemented by focus group interviews for qualitative insights. Overall, pre-service teachers exhibited high TPACK and digital literacy levels, except for a medium proficiency level. Females scored higher in ethics. Significant differences emerged among participants with and without educational technology training, impacting digital literacy, TPACK, exertion, and proficiency. Pearson correlation analysis established a positive relationship between digital literacy and TPACK, with regression analysis identifying digital literacy as a predictor of TPACK. Qualitative findings underscore pre-service EFL teachers' perceptions of digital competence and TPACK. digital literacy ,TPACK, digital competence , pre-service English teachers

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
