TPACK

Draft

Introduction

“The technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework presents a way of thinking about effective technology integration, specifically knowledge associated with integrating technology effectively into learning environments. [...] TPACK has the promise to shape the way teacher educators and professional developers prepare teachers to integrate technology (Polly & Mims, in press).” (Polly and Brantley-Dias, 2009:46).

“The basis of good teaching with technology and requir[ing] 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 of epistemology; and knowledge of how technologies can be used to built on existing knowledge and to develop new epistemologies or strengthen old ones” (Mishra & Koehler, 2006:1029, cited by Barbour, 2009:56).
