This study aims to determine factors influencing pre-service early childhood teachers' perception of technology equipment. Online survey is conducted to 289 students majoring in Early Childhood Education and Child Development located in city A, B, and C. SPSS 25 program analyzes 273 answers. The results show that technology education experience in high school influences TPACK and TPACK's sub-factor technology knowledge; and that technology education experience in college (university?) has a positive influence on computational thinking, perception of technology, TPACK, and TPACK's sub-factors-technology knowledge, early childhood education knowledge, and TPACK knowledge. In addition, perception of technology equipment shows high correlation with TPACK and computational thinking. Indeed, computational thinking and TPACK have 42.3% explanatory power on perception of technology equipment. The results imply that education system supporting computational thinking and TPACK should be prioritized for pre-service early childhood teacher to use technology effectively in the field.
