The article, titled “What should teacher educators know about technology? Perspectives and self-assessments ” is available online here. The abstract reads as follows:

This article offers a first look at teacher educators’ (N 1⁄4 336) perceptions of their technology compe- tencies based on the Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs; Foulger, Graziano, Schmidt- Crawford, & Slykhuis, 2017). The participants generally rated their competence levels highly in rela- tion to the TETCs. Although many participants reported that the TETCs adequately reflected the com- petencies required of them, they suggested various additions and changes to the TETCs. This mixed- method study advances understanding of teacher educators’ perceptions of the importance of various competences to their work and offers feedback from the field regarding which competencies might be missing from the TETCs.
