TPACK Framework Quiz

TPACK Framework

Pedagogical Knowledge

• Refers to the knowledge of teaching and learning strategies, methods, and techniques
• Includes understanding of how students learn, classroom management, and assessment techniques
• Focuses on the process of teaching and learning, rather than the subject matter itself

Technological Knowledge

• Refers to the knowledge of technology and its applications in teaching and learning
• Includes understanding of digital tools, software, and hardware
• Focuses on the technical aspects of using technology to support teaching and learning

Content Knowledge

• Refers to the knowledge of the subject matter being taught
• Includes understanding of the curriculum, concepts, and principles of the subject area
• Focuses on the what of teaching, rather than the how or with what

Contextual Factors

• Refers to the environmental and social factors that influence teaching and learning
• Includes understanding of the classroom, school, and community context
• Factors that can impact teaching and learning, such as student motivation, parental involvement, and resource availability

Teachers' Beliefs

• Refers to the attitudes, values, and beliefs that teachers hold about teaching, learning, and technology
• Includes understanding of how teachers' beliefs influence their instructional practices
• Can impact the integration of technology and the development of TPACK

Intersections of TPACK

• PK (Pedagogical Knowledge) + CK (Content Knowledge) = Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
• TK (Technological Knowledge) + CK (Content Knowledge) = Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
• PK (Pedagogical Knowledge) + TK (Technological Knowledge) = Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
• PK (Pedagogical Knowledge) + TK (Technological Knowledge) + CK (Content Knowledge) = Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)

Note: The intersections of TPACK highlight the complex relationships between pedagogy, technology, and content knowledge.
