TPACK

TPACK focuses on three main forms of knowledge:

  •  

  • Content Knowledge

    • An educator’s knowledge about the subject being taught.

  • Pedagogical Knowledge

    • An educator’s knowledge about the art of teaching.

  • Technology Knowledge

    • An educator’s knowledge about working with and integrating technology.

 

TPACK goes deeper by highlighting the types of information that are connected in the three main forms of knowledge, Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, and Technology Knowledge:

​

  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge 

    • An educator’s knowledge on teaching the specific subject correctly.

​

  • Technological Content Knowledge

    • An educator’s knowledge on using specific technology to present the subject matter effectively.

​

  • Technological Pedagogical Knowledge

    • An educator’s understanding on how teaching and learning can change based on the technology used.

​

  • Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge

    • “TPACK is the basis of effective teaching with technology, requiring an understanding of the representation of concepts using technologies; pedagogical techniques that use technologies in constructive ways to teach content; knowledge of what makes concepts difficult or easy to learn and how technology can help redress some of the problems that students face; knowledge of students’ prior knowledge and theories of epistemology; and knowledge of how technologies can be used to build on existing knowledge to develop new epistemologies or strengthen old ones” (Koehler & Mishra, 2009).
