N1 - Funding Information: The sixth paper by Finger et al. describes the use of TPACK as a framework for nation-wide planning of teacher ICT development in the teaching teachers for the future project (TTF) in Australia. This $8 million project was funded by the Australian Government specifically for ICT competency development of Australian pre-service teachers and it involved 39 Australian Higher Education providers of initial teacher training. The TTF TPACK survey assessed teachers’ change in confidence with technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), technological content knowledge (TCK), and TPACK, as well as teachers’ perceived confidence with ICT and perceived usefulness of ICT before and after the TTF interventions. Correspondingly, Most Significant Change (MSC) stories were used to document important domains and patterns of change throughout these interventions. This paper provides a valuable example of TPACK’s potential use for the planning, development, and evaluation of large-scale teacher development programs.
