Abstract
Although digital technologies signify innovation and prestige, adopting such technology in teaching praxis requires deeper understanding and examination of technology integration with different variables. This study examines the relationship between pre-service teachers' material development competency as a proficiency in which technology is heavily integrated into teaching activities and their techno-pedagogical competency. The survey method used in this study had 202 pre -service teachers enrolled in an instructional technologies and material design course delivered in a Turkish state university.Application-based educational technology and material development competency scale and techno-pedagogical competency scale were employed. The results showed a positive relationship between both the scales. Increase in proficiency in the techno-pedagogical competency showed an increase in the pre -service teachers' proficiency in technology enhanced material
development skills. Based on these findings, issues in developing pre -service teachers' technology enhanced material development skills within the context of their techno-pedagogical competency are discussed.
Keywords: Techno-pedagogical knowledge, material development, application -based educational technology and material
