Abstract: This paper presents an investigation examining teachers' perceptions of their knowledge and skills with regards to the integration of ICT in their instructional practices. By adopting the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, a new scale was developed and used to explore primary education teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge. The analysis of the results showed that the participants appear to believe that they have a good level of knowledge with regards to the content and the pedagogy and they are using various ICT tools. However, it seems that they have not integrated the TPACK dimensions of knowledge and skills to that degree that they will be able to design and implement appropriate ICT-based interventions in their classroom practice.

Keywords: ICT in education, TPACK, teachers' perceptions, integration skills
