Moreover, the study aimed to examine whether the Early Childhood teacher candidates’ TPACK self confidence differs with respect to their genders and grade levels. The participants of this survey study were 154 teacher candidates who continued their education at the Mersin University Early Childhood Education program in their 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades in the Fall semester, 2011-2012 year.
