Özet:

 



The aim of this study is
 to identify pre-service English teachers’ self-efficacy in web pedagogical
 content knowledge. The Web Pedagogical Content Knowledge (WPCK) is valuable in
 comparison to other technology-based models (e.g. TPACK) as it offers a holistic
 approach by integrating content knowledge with web knowledge specifically
 rather than focusing on technology in general. The sample of this study
 consists of 110 pre-service English teachers studying at two state
 universities in Istanbul and Sakarya, Turkey in the academic year of
 2018-2019. The data was collected through “The Scale of Web Pedagogical
 Content Knowledge” developed by Lee, Tsai and Chang (2008) and adapted into
 Turkish by Horzum (2011). The data was analyzed through SPSS and the variables
 university, grade, gender, daily amount of time spent on the internet and
 social media were considered in addition to identifying participants’
 competence levels. The findings demonstrate that the participants have a high
 level (‘I totally agree’) of self-efficacy in the five sub-dimensions of WPCK.
 Out of the variables, only grade is observed to have a significant effect
 while university, gender, daily amount of time spent on the internet and daily
 amount of time spent on social networks are observed to have a no significant
 effect on self-efficacy levels. The analysis offers insights into pre-service
 teachers’ competence and self-efficacy in the use of web for pedagogy, content
 knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and the integration of them. The findings of this
 study are expected to contribute to pre-service teacher training and the
 successful integration of the web into content knowledge for pedagogic
 purposes.
