Abstract
Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is defined as knowledge in integrating discipline-specific content with pedagogical and technological knowledge in teaching and learning. A questionnaire aimed at characterising thetechnological pedagogical content knowledge of secondary mathematics teachers was administered to a sample of 280 participants from 94 NSW Catholic schools. In general, results shows a disposition for using basic technology available in schools like Microsoft tools as well as less reliance on complex technological pedagogical skills requiring integrating ICT into teaching and learning.
