Teaching TPACK to Teachers
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does the acronym TPACK mean? | Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework |
| The three types of knowledge in TPACK are (with acronym)... | TK-technological knowledge, PK-pedagogical knowledge, and CK-Content Knowledge |
| What is the TPACK framework? | It combines technology, pedagogy and content knowledge in varying combinations to implement and improve the student learning experiences through educational technology; focus on the content and pedagogy first, then use technology to support the learning. |
| Why is Content Knowledge important? | It is the subject matter that is being taught. |
| Why is Pedagogical Knowledge important? | The PK is the methodology in which the Content Knowledge is taught, such as: Socratic method, group or direct instruction, etc... |
| Why is Technological Knowledge important? | It is the technology that is selected by the teacher to make the content accessible and engaging for the students, while still preserving the learning objective. |
| What happens when combining Pedagogical and Content Knowledge? | PCK combines both content knowledge (what is being taught) and pedagogical knowledge (how it should be taught) to facilitate meaningful learning experiences and making it more accessible to the students. |
| What happens when combining Technology and Content Knowledge? | TCK ensures that technology is appropriate to the content, while being utilized to complement and enrich the subject matter for more interactive, engaging and effective learning experiences. |
| What happens when combining Technology and Pedagogical Knowledge? | TPK ensures that technology is not simply applied for its own sake, but is intentionally incorporated to improve teaching methods, resulting in more impactful and valuable learning experiences. |
| What is the 'sweet spot' in the TPACK model? | The "sweet spot" in the TPACK model is the intersection of Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), and Content Knowledge (CK), where their overlap creates the most effective and engaging learning experiences. |
| Why does utilizing TPACK matter? | The heart of the TPACK model is meeting the students' needs. |
