Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). TPACK is a framework for teaching. Teaching is a complex activity which involves
utilising knowledge of technology, content and pedagogy all at once to be able
to teach a learner effectively.
A teacher needs to have a synergy between knowing the
content well, knowing how to utilise technology well, and knowing how to teach to
a learner well (the pedagogy) by being aware of how they learn and what affects
a student’s learning. This has to be
delivered all at the same time using all three elements together.
Good teaching is about:
·
Knowledge of your learner – what they already
know and feel, and what they want to know
·
Knowledge of your subject, and the concepts that
make it function· Knowledge of the technology available, and how best to use it to get the learner engaged with the subject so they can benefit from that knowledge.
All this knowledge has to be fully integrated to be able to then teach the learner effectively, and it has some purpose for them in the future.
