Stalled Innovation: Examining the technological, pedagogical and content knowledge of Australian university educators

Abstract

This paper presents a summary of the key findings of a TPACK survey adapted for a higher education context and serves as an initial sampling technique for a larger study in the design and delivery practices of academics. There are few studies that investigate how technologies are used and experienced in courses from an objective pedagogical perspective. In this first stage, a survey was implemented to understand academic perceptions of the role that technologies play in relation to their content and their pedagogies. The initial findings indicate that the connections within these domains are limited in the academic context.
