Call for Special Issue Papers
Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge
Issue 9(1), March 2009
The editors of the online journal Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal) announce a call for papers for a special issue of the journal on the topic of “Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge.” Accepted papers would appear in Volume 9(1) to be published in March 2009.
Scholarly articles may report research describing (a) teachers or preservice teachers who demonstrate “TPACK” (also known as TPCK) in the K-12 classroom; (b) teachers/preservice teachers in the process of developing TPACK; or (c) teacher education programs with demonstrated success in developing TPACK in their graduates. We have a special interest in articles describing the development of instruments or methods to measure TPACK. Theoretical articles will also be considered, especially if they synthesize the research or development of TPACK thinking in a particular content area.
Additional information specific to each section of CITE Journal follows.
Science Education Section
Papers submitted to the science education section should address TPACK in the context of K-12 science teacher education. To submit your article, go to www.citejournal.org, click on the Submissions tab, and follow the directions.
