These qualifications are explained in the frame of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) by Shulman (1986, 1987). However, in recent years teachers’ qualifications is not enough with Pedagogical Content Knowledge with the introduction of technology into our lives, information technology is also one of among those qualifications. Mishra and Kohler (2006) has re-conceptualized PCK as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) that is a framework integrating “technological knowledge” into Shulman’s (1986) concept of PCK. TPACK is a framework comprising of three type of knowledge; technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, subject matter knowledge (Koehler, Mishra ve Yahya, 2007; Mishra ve Koehler, 2006; Niess, 2005). The purpose of this study is to determine self-efficacy perception levels of preservice science teachers' technopedagogical knowledge competencies. For this purpose, preservice science teachers' technopedagogical knowledge competencies in terms of some demographic variables whether or not there are meaningful differentiantions, are investigated.
