摘要:There have been many studies on teachers’ role and expectations concerning the integration of
technology into their instruction. The present study aimed to reveal mathematics teachers’ views about their own
proficiency and the standards signifying that competency regarding the integration of technology. The focus group
study was used as a data gathering method. The study attempted to respond the question, ‘What are the qualities that
teachers need to posses for an effective integration of technology into their classroom?’. The teachers’ responses were
elaborated by asking further questions in order to get a deeper understanding of their views. The teachers’ utterances
were analyzed within the framework of TPCK. The results indicated that a) the in-service teachers require participating
in such courses on technology and pedagogy for their professional development and b) teachers’ experiences with
technology integration and their beliefs about the ways students learn significantly affect their views about their own
competency.
