Abstract
A Study of the Level of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) of Early Primary School Science Teachers in the Context of the Little Scientists' House, Thailand Project, under the Prachuap Khiri Khan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The objective of this research was to study the level of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). The sample for this study was selected using purposive sampling, comprising 89 science teachers from 83 schools participating in the Little Scientists' House, Thailand project, under the Prachuap Khiri Khan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, during the 2025 academic year. The instrument used in this research was a survey on the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) of science teachers (Self-assessment). The scale’s overall reliability coefficient was 0.95. Data were analyzed using a statistical software package. Descriptive statistics reported include the mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). The findings revealed that the overall level of science teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was high (M = 3.77, SD = 0.77). When considering individual components, the aspect with the highest mean was Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), which was at a high level (M = 3.91, SD = 0.71). The next highest mean was for Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), also at a high level (M = 3.85, SD = 0.70). The component with the lowest mean was Content Knowledge (CK), which was also at a high level (M = 3.57, SD = 0.83). These findings indicate that there is a need to further strengthen teachers’ content knowledge (CK) and enhance the quality of teachers in employing effective science learning management techniques for elementary students, particularly those that support inquiry processes and balanced, efficient integration of TPACK
