Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the sources of the technological knowledge development process of elementary school teachers with a qualitative approach using a criterion-based purposive sampling method. The data collection method was semi-structured interviews and the indicators such as credibility, reliability, confirmability, and transferability were used to evaluate the reliability of the research. The research findings included 5 main categories and 18 subcategories. The main categories of the research included "knowledge from oneself", "knowledge from learners", "knowledge from the scientific community", "knowledge from family and relatives", and "knowledge from the organization". Based on the research findings, it could be concluded that elementary school teachers, in addition to the organizational opportunities that are provided to them formally and informally in the educational institution, also use various capacities such as family and relatives, learning, experiences, and university education resources in order to develop their technological knowledge.
