Have you ever heard of TPACK?

So let me explain to you what is TPACK stands for: TECHNOLOGİCAL PEDAGOGİCAL AND CONTENT KNOWLEDGE. This educational framework helps teachers to understand how their knowledge domains intersect in order to effectively teach and engage students with technology. In todays circumstances we as teachers should accept the fact that without technology we are nothing. Which brings us to a very important point '' Even good things can become badly if they are excessive''. Technology is great but us teachers should use it wisely. It is a great power.😅 With great power comes great responsibility. TPACK is actually a guide for us teachers it enables us  to select and use hardware and software, identify the affordances (or lack thereof) of specific features and use the tools in pedagogically appropriate and effective ways.  Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is the effectiveness of the delivery of the lesson with technology integration. It is an ideal application in all aspects of learning, which are all important in the teaching and learning process. 

7 Components of TPACK

As you can see up in the photo there are 3 big circles every circle represents a different type of knowledge. Technological Knowledge, Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Technological Content Knowledge, Technological Pedagogical Knowledge, and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

First we have CONTENT KNOWLEDGE then TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE anddddd PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE

What is content knowledge?

Content knowledge (CK) refers to the body of knowledge –facts, theories, principles, ideas, vocabulary– which teachers must master to be effective. Teachers should have a deep understanding of the subject they teach and corresponding curriculum (subject content knowledge).

What is the technological knowledge?

Technological Knowledge (TK) – This describes teachers' knowledge of, and ability to use, various technologies, technological tools, and associated resources.

What is pedagogical knowledge ?

Pedagogical knowledge (PK) is the teachers knowledge of how he or she will teach the subject such as teaching methods and techniques and evaluation methods.

What is Pedagogical Content Knowledge ?

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) – Teaching specific content. PCK is the notion of the transformation of the subject matter for teaching. This transformation occurs as the teacher interprets the subject matter, finds multiple ways to represent it, and adapts and tailors the instructional materials to alternative conceptions and students’ prior knowledge. PCK covers the core business of teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment and reporting, such as the conditions that promote learning and the links among curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy.

What is Technological Content Knowledge ?

Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) – An understanding of the manner in which technology and content influence and constrain one another. Teachers need to master more than the subject matter they teach; they must also have a deep understanding of the manner in which the subject matter can be changed by the application of particular technologies. Teachers need to understand which specific technologies are best suited for addressing subject-matter learning in their domains and how the content dictates or perhaps even changes the technology—or vice versa.

What is Technological Pedagogical Knowledge ? 

Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) – An understanding of how teaching and learning can change when particular technologies are used in particular ways. This includes knowing the pedagogical affordances and constraints of a range of technological tools as they relate to disciplinarily and developmentally appropriate pedagogical designs and strategies.

SO WHAT İS TPACK EVENTUALLY?

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) – We can come to the fact that TAPCK is underlying truly meaningful and deeply skilled teaching with technology, 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 and knowledge of how technologies can be used to build on existing knowledgeand strengthen old ones. 

That was all my dear readers I hope it helps you but if this is not enough I am leaving this video that helped me understand better.

Have a nice day guysss bye.
