 The purpose of this report is to help the pre-service teachers to know how to use
TPACK. Technology plays an important role in a student's lives because it helps to increase
their understanding of complex concepts. But many teachers face difficulties in doing so.
The TPACK framework helps the teacher to teach effectively and engage students
with the technology and there are 3 domains of TPACK:
 Technological knowledge
 Pedagogical knowledge
 Context knowledge
Technological knowledge is what tool will you use to make the content more
accessible to the students, for example: will you use smart board, laptop, iPad, zoom, google
meet, google drive, simulations, projectors etc. Pedagogical knowledge is the method of
teaching, like what instructional method are you going to use, are going to use a project-
based method, laboratory method, problem-based approach or discussion method. Content
knowledge is what you teach, for example is it art, math, science or music.
TPACK is important because the technology being implemented must communicate
the content and support the pedagogy in order to enhance students' learning experience. When
all of the 3 knowledge areas work together, this will meet the student needs.

Technological Knowledge (TK)

This describes teachers’ knowledge and ability to use, various technologies,
technological tools, and associated resources. Technological Knowledge concerns
understanding EdTech, considering its possibilities for a specific subject area or classroom,
learning to recognize when it will assist or impede learning, and continually learning and
adapting to new technology offerings. Examples of Technological Knowledge: Buildings,
Cars, Towns, Websites and Digital device.
Pedagogical Knowledge (PK)
What is Pedagogical knowledge? It is the specialized knowledge of teachers for
creating effective teaching and learning environments for all students. The knowledge in
which integrates the content knowledge of a specific subject and the pedagogical knowledge
for teaching that particular subject. Knowledge of classroom management: maximizing the
quantity of instructional time, handling classroom events, teaching at a steady pace,
maintaining clear direction in lessons; Knowledge of teaching methods: having a command
of various teaching methods, knowing when and how to apply each method; Knowledge of
classroom assessment: knowledge of different forms and purposes of formative and
summative assessments, knowledge of how different frames of reference (e.g., social,
individual, criterion-based) impact students’ motivation; Structure: structuring of learning
objectives and the lesson process, lesson planning and evaluation. Adaptability: dealing with
heterogeneous learning groups in the classroom.
Content Knowledge (CK)
This describes teachers’ own knowledge of the subject matter. CK may include
knowledge of concepts, theories, evidence, and organizational frameworks within a particular
subject matter. Why content knowledge important in teacher? Our own content knowledge
affects how we interpret the content goals we are expected to reach with our students.

Three types of content knowledge:

 Subject matter content knowledge,
 Pedagogical content knowledge
 Curricular knowledge.
Implications of Content Standard:
The findings showed that content knowledge may support knowledge of what
students understand in science as well as knowledge of instructional strategies. How to
demonstrate content knowledge? Plan multiple strategies within a lesson to meet the learning
needs of all students.
In order for teachers to make effective use of the TPACK framework, they should be
open to certain key ideas, including:
1. Concepts from the content being taught can be represented using technology,
2. Pedagogical techniques can communicate content in different ways using technology,
3. Different content concepts require different skill levels from students, and EdTech can
help address some of these requirements,
4. Students come into the classroom with different backgrounds – including prior
educational experience and exposure to technology – and lessons utilizing EdTech
should account for this possibility,
5. Educational technology can be used in tandem with students’ existing knowledge,
helping them either strengthen prior epistemologies or develop new ones.
