Analysis of Intelligent Teaching Ability of Pre-service Biology Teachers Based on TPACK Theory

Abstract

The level of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of modern intelligent-based teaching directly affects the teaching ability of pre-service teachers. In this study, all the students majoring in biological sciences in the College of Life Sciences of X Normal University were selected as the research objects. The existing TPACK level of pre-service biological teachers was investigated by means of literature research and questionnaire survey, and the factors that might influence the TPACK level of pre-service biological teachers were analyzed. The results showed that the overall TPACK level of pre-service biology teachers was in the middle level, and the TK level was the lowest, followed by the TPCK level. The seniors were higher than the freshmen in all dimensions of TPACK, and there were significant differences in each dimension. Seniors were higher than juniors in all dimensions of TPACK, and there were significant differences between them in CK and TPK, while there were no significant differences in other dimensions. Comparing the juniors and seniors as a whole with the freshmen and sophomores students as a whole, it was found that the former was higher than the latter in seven dimensions, and the differences in each dimension were extremely significant. This indicates that the establishment of the biological talent training program had a significant promoting effect on the improvement of pre-service teachers' TPACK level. This provides an important theoretical basis for the training of TPACK level of pre-service biology teachers in this school.
