Effect of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge Framework based Capacity Building Programme Module (CBPM) on Teaching Aptitude of Pre-Service Teachers

Technology integration in education transcends the mere implementation of technological artefacts, encompassing theoretical frameworks and evidence-based research findings to enhance pedagogical practices rather than being limited to the rudimentary application of computer hardware and software in instructional delivery. This study employed a quasi-experimental methodology, utilising a pre-test/post-test equivalent group design incorporating the Solomon four-group paradigm to generate quantitative data from pre-service teachers enrolled in undergraduate teacher education programmes. Statistical analyses, including descriptive measures of means, standard deviations and standard errors of means, demonstrated a significant favourable influence of a Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework-based capacity-building programme Module on the teaching aptitude of pre-service teachers.
