Investigation of branch teachers in distribution of different technological pedagogical variables : sample of Konya

Rapid technological development requires teachers who can be shown among the most important components of educational environments to have the competence to use technology. It can be stated that the teachers are trying to meet these needs with different technology education processes. In this study, teachers' preferences for technology education were examined and compared within certain variables and in sense of technological pedagogical knowledge perceptions. By general screening method, branch teachers'; were tried to be observed how they show distribution according to the characteristics such as gender, school type, graduation, age, duration of service, branch, access to technology and use of technology. Besides, the differences between technological pedagogical knowledge perceptions were examined according to teacher recieved the type of technology education and teachers' branches. Work group consists of subject teacher (343) who worked both middle schools and high schools in 2014-2015 Educational year and teachers with and without in-service training in FATİH Project in Konya.

The data collected by surveys has been dealt with in separate groups of respectively data of related to only FATİH Project Technology Education recieved participations, data of related to only General Technology Training recieved participations, data obtained from participants who have taken FATIH Project Technology Education and General Technology Education together and data from participants who were not in a Technology Training. In addition to demographic information, the findings for comparison of Technological Pedagogical Information Perceptions between groups have been examined comparatively. Since it has been determined that the measurement data was not normally distributed, nonparametric statistics were used in comparative analyzes. As a result of the research it has been seen significantly differentiated according to the training process of participants' Technological Pedagogical Knowledge perceptions. The resulting difference is seen to be due to significant differences between recieved the participants of FPTE-GTE (have taken FATIH Project Technology Education and General Technology Education together) with the participants of FPTE (FATİH Project Technology Education) and recieved the participants of FPTE-GTE (have taken FATIH Project Technology Education and General Technology Education together) and BTEA (who were not in a Technology Training) as binary groups. In addition, it is seen that do not significantly differentiated according to the branches of participants' Technological Pedagogical Knowledge Perceptions.
