Özet
The purpose of this study was to investigate the web pedagogical content knowledge of science teachers. As a mixed method design, this study was carried out with science teachers. A total of 229 science teachers participated in the quantitative part of the study, and 17 science teachers with different year experience took part in the qualitative part. Quantitative data in the study were collected through the Web Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale, and the qualitative data were collected by a semi-structured interview. The obtained quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. The content analysis was used on the qualitative data. The quantitative results of the research indicated that the levels of teachers’ self-efficacy perceptions regarding web pedagogical content knowledge were very high. Moreover, the scores obtained from the overall scale and its sub-dimensions significantly differed with regards to work experience of science teachers. The qualitative findings of the study revealed that science teachers made use of the Web for lectures, experiments, practice, visual support, videos, and compensating the lack of materials. It was also emphasized that teachers should be educated to use the Web in their teaching practices.
