The importance of attitudes toward technology for pre-service teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge: Comparing structural equation modeling approaches

作者:

Highlights:

• The dimensions of pre-service teachers' ICT attitudes are highly correlated.

• A nested-factor model describes the structure of ICT attitudes best.

• ICT attitudes are positively related to general TPACK and specific TK.

• Educational and technological aspects of TPACK and attitudes are connected.

• Methodological considerations are needed to describe the TPACK-attitudes relations.
