This is the abstract of a research study . In this study they invited a research panel (six researchers) and an expert panel (54 science-related educators) to propose and validate the framework of TPACK-practical. They applied two rounds of anonymous communications and Delphi survey techniques; identified a total of eight dimensions of TPACK-practical and corresponding indicators and rated them as having high levels of importance. They found disciplinary differences between the different groups of experts. Their findings suggest that the structure and content of subject matter shapes not only the way they teach with technology but also the thinking logics they build longitudinally from their learning experiences

While I was doing research on TPACK, I saw that validity of TPACK-practical model was examined in Turkish context.In that study, it was revealed that the adapted form of the survey exhibited the same item-factor harmony and structure as the original form.

There are many data collection tools regarding TPACK, but they measure components of TPACK (PK, CK, TK, TPK, TCK, PCK, TPCK) separately. In this study, a reliable and valid scale was developed to measure TPCK component, which is the intersection point of three main components.It was found that TPCK component consists of four constructs/dimensions. They are design, exertion, proficiency and ethics.

Here is a review of the TPACK measures: How do we measure TPAKC: Let me count the ways

This is very good article, which well describes the state of taking into account the reliability in the research and analysis. We all should take this seriously. On the other hand, which are the ways good enough to consider reliability of the measures? I think this is not a simple question indeed. There is an interesting conversation chain in the Methodspace about these things. There are many viewpoints about the topic: http://www.methodspace.com/group/qualitativeinquiry/forum/topics/reliability-measures

Matti, yes these issues are very important. In my qualitative research, I like to use the measures of trustworthiness by Lincoln and Guba instead of reliability and validity which emerged from the quantitative tradition.
