Summary/Abstract: In the information age, with the rapid emergence of multimedia computers, smart phones and various Web-based RIA applications and AR and VR technologies, the information and intelligence of the education and teaching environment has continuously enhanced. The innovation of teacher training mode and the development of teacher professionalization should be achieved by continuously improving the teacher's knowledge structure and promoting the integration of technology and teaching. To study how to construct and continuously improve the new teacher knowledge structure system integrating information technology, it will become the basic part of the innovative teacher-training model and the professional development of teachers in the new era. The college civil engineering professional education has been developing with the development of the national social economy; the demand for talents has continuously increased. In addition, the innovation of civil engineering professional teaching is in urgent need of development. It is necessary to improve the quality of the teaching team. It is imperative to study the TPACK level of civil engineering teachers. Based on this, this paper builds a dedicated test scale and retains 34 items after screening. 180 data results were obtained, through the collection of questionnaires. Then we use SPSS statistical analysis software to conduct project analysis on the test results to verify the relevance and reliability of the test items in the test scale. Then, we determine the structural validity of the test scale by factor analysis of the test results. Finally, we analyzed the factors affecting the TPACK context based on the resulting data. The results show that the national policy school environment is a macro factor that affects TPACK, and the teacher's self-efficacy is a micro factor. Based on this, we have proposed different development plans from different angles.
