What is TPACK?
TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge.
TPACK is a way of
teaching information or knowledge through the use of current and future technologies.
It is dependent upon knowledge of technology
(i.e. social media, podcasts, YouTube) and then how best to use that technology
to enhance learning. It is also provides
a way to engage students and create interest in knowledge and learning. Within the TPACK are three main areas that interact, these are content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK) and technology (TK). The interaction of all three areas makes for effective use of technology in learning.
- Content Knowledge (CK) refers to the information, concepts or skills
- Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) refers to the strategies or methods of imparting content
- Technology Knowledge (TK) refers to the tools, software and platforms used to access content
The diagram below
show how the three areas above work together to form TPACK.
