Abstract
This qualitative research was a case study that examined the teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). The participants of this study were three physics teachers. Data was collected from questionnaire on TPACK, lesson plan, classroom observation, and teacher interviews. Data were analyzed through content analysis. The results revealed that, all physics teachers have incomplete knowledge in the field of TPACK. They demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of content knowledge matter, but they lack awareness in selecting teaching methods that are specifically tailored to the content. Additionally, in the technological knowledge, all teachers exhibit a low level of knowledge and a lack of awareness in utilizing technology that is content specific and suitable for their teaching methods.
