The survey, called TPACK-EFL, aims to provide an assessment tool for preservice foreign language teachers that addresses subject-specific pedagogies and technologies. Using mixed methods approach, survey items were generated first using qualitative methods (e.g. expert interviews and document analysis). The content validity of the items was established through expert and preservice teacher reviews. The survey was then validated through two rounds of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the first with 174 preservice EFL teachers and the second with 204 preservice EFL teachers. The results of the first round indicated a five-factor structure: technological knowledge (TK), content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and a fifth factor that combined TCK, TPK, and TPACK items. After revising the survey, the second round of EFA results showed a seven-factor structure that was consistent with the TPACK framework. The final TPACK-EFL survey included a total of 39 items: 9 TK, 5 CK, 6 PK, 5 PCK, 3 TCK, 7 TPK, and 4 TPACK. The results offer survey developers and teacher educators insight into establishing clear boundaries between the TPACK constructs. In particular, subject-specific strategies were used to generate clear and distinct items within the TCK and TPK constructs. Implications for developing other subject-specific TPACK surveys and using the TPACK-EFL survey in other countries are discussed.

In November 2010, the California ballot included Proposition 21, which asked voters to approve an annual $18 surcharge for every non-commercial vehicle licensed in California as a way to reduce the estimated $1 billion maintenance budget deficit and help counteract the $22 million ...

An additional theme is that of how the idea of failure can prompt the creative process. Presenters in this symposium will describe the theoretical, and pragmatic ways in which creativity can be supported and nurtured. A range of presenters will speak to multiple contexts such as, graduate level courses, digital fabrications, learning on the web, attentional failure, along with other issues, to build a richly nuanced perspective on creativity, failure, and the role of technology.
