Abstract
Delivering digital storytelling activities is a novel and advanced early childhood activity that requires teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, we became interested in investigating the TPACK capabilities of early childhood teachers in Hong Kong. In this study, nine preservice teachers’ online teaching performances during their teaching practicum were examined. Altogether, 42 online storytelling activities were recorded, and a total of 504 minutes of video data were collected. We employed thematic analysis to code the participants’ reflections, with the goal of understanding their technological knowledge and their preparation for digital storytelling activities. Our findings revealed the extent of the TPACK knowledge of current early childhood teachers and shed light on how to improve kindergarten teachers’ professional development regarding technology.
