Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the TPACK levels of Tai Chi teachers in higher education. 218 Tai Chi teachers in higher education institutions in Henan Province, China voluntarily responded to an online questionnaire. SPSS 24.0 software was used for data analysis. The findings showed significant differences in Tai Chi teachers’ TPACK levels and its components based on the different demographic variables. The implication of this study is for policymakers to draw up relevant policies that can enhance the weaker areas of TPACK components among Tai Chi teachers.
