Abstract
The purpose of this study is presenting a causal model of factors affecting high school teachers΄technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK).In terms of objectives,this study is an applied research and in terms of method of collecting and analyzing data it is a descriptive and correlational research. The participants were 255 high school teachers in Shiraz(based on Cochran Formula) who were selected through stratified random and cluster sampling method among 5824 in service teachers in Shiraz in 1393-1394.This study employed a combination of two instruments tocollect data: theTechnological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) instrument developed and validated by Sahin(2011) for evaluatingCK, PK, PCK, and TCK andChai, et al,(2011) questionnairefor assessing TK, TPK and TPACK.The path analysis was used to examine the research hypotheses. Findings showed thatSignificant positive correlationsexist between the TPACK constructs .CK and PK had direct and indirect effects onTPACK, while TK had only indirect effect on TPACK. Content Knowledge had the greatest total effect on TPACK.
