This paper explored the relationship of TPCK knowledge from a technical perspective, the way to define ICT-TPCK influencing factors and their relationship with the technological knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, technological content knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge (ICT-TPCK). A questionnaire adapted from Angeli, Valanides (2009) was validated by using factor analyses and regression analyses. The results revealed that TK, TCK and TPCK have a two-way relationship. The ICT-TPCK of higher vocational teachers was generally at a positive level and the level of influencing factors of ICT-TPCK in higher vocational teachers was also relatively high. Using path analysis showed that teacher training and self-efficacy had a direct impact on TK and TCK. School environment, teacher training and self-efficacy had a direct impact on TPCK. School environment and compatibility had an indirect impact on TK, TCK and TPCK. Keyphrases: Higher vocational teachers, ICT-TPCK, Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
