INTRODUCTION
teachers are able to use technology tools to help them obtain information, analyze and
synthesize the information, and present it to students professionally, while the tools should be
an integral part of the teaching and learning processes. However, the question is, are
And what is kind of knowledge that mathematics teachers need to integrate technology in
for the students, the curriculum, the availability of computer technology, as well as the
designed lesson plan and media, and combine them into a practice that will enhance student
learning (Mishra & Koehler, 2006). This framework which originally called TPCK, yet now
known as TPACK since 2008 to emphasize the idea of Total PACKage (Thompson & Misrha,
The framework results from a complex combination of three main teacher’s knowledge of
content (CK), pedagogy (PK) and technology (TK). The aforementioned combination
produced three intersection pairs of knowledge which are pedagogical content knowledge
(TPK). All these three were combined to form a dynamic intersection known as TPACK.
TPACK framework describes the relationships between three basic components of teachers’
and learning (Schmidt et. al., 2009). According to Schmidt et. al. (2009), CK refers to the
knowledge of the actual subject matter to be acquired or taught and the different of nature of
knowledge for various content areas. PK refers to the knowledge of methods and processes of
ranging from low-tech technologies such as pencil and paper to digital technologies such as
In this framework, the interactions among these components of knowledge are equally
Schmidt et al. (2009), PCK refers to the content knowledge that deals with the teaching
process and differs from the various content areas. TCK refers to the knowledge on the way
technology can create new representations for specific content and strategies undertaken by
teachers to change the way students practice and understand concepts in a specific content
area by using a specific technology. TPK refers to the knowledge on the use various
technologies. Lastly, TPACK refers to the knowledge required by teachers for effective
integration of technology into their teaching in any content area by teaching the content using
The concept of TPACK build by Mishra and Koehler (2006) is that the content of
subject matter, pedagogy and technology should always be intertwined and the use of
teaching requires the teachers to understand the subject matter of the lesson, the pedagogical
approach which the subject to teach the lesson and the appropriate technological tools that
may support the teaching as well as students’ learning process. Jonassen, Carr and Lajoie
(2000) stated that technology is used as a mind tool that supports mathematical understanding.

RESULTS
From the results of selected papers, it can be concluded that TPACK framework is generally
used to:
educational software in the teaching and learning session. Based on the review of the selected
papers, many research and designed projects used TPACK as a guideline to implement and
design certain conceptual frameworks of teachers training programs that promote pre-service
mathematics teachers to learn of specific hardware and software skills and to rount out
teachers’ knowledge (Suharwoto, 2006; Terpstra, 2009; Bos, 2011; Escuder & Joseph, 2011).
Suharwoto (2006) developed and implemented TPACK for the preparation program
of pre-service teachers to teach mathematics with technology in the program. This one-year

Suharwoto (2006) was to analyze the impact of the program in pre-service teachers’
professional development based on their understanding and level of practices in the real
classroom situation. Merging the four key features TPACK outline for identifying TPACK in
a teacher preparation program were (1) an overarching conception of what it means to teach
mathematics with technology; (2) knowledge of instructional strategies and representation for
materials that integrate technology with learning mathematics (Niess et. al., 2009). The
Classroom of Tomorrow) project is used as the frameworks of the study. The results of the
program generally stated that the program coursework has successfully helped the pre-service
teachers to gain the knowledge of technology, pedagogy and mathematics. The results of the
teachers to use educational technology in their teaching was also implemented by Terpstra
(2009) in her doctoral research to know pre-service mathematics perception on how they
learn to teach with technology. The researcher conceptualized that TPACK framework and
for teaching with technology than either framework by itself. The researcher also used these
two frameworks as theoretical perspectives to identify the knowledge needed for teachers to
teach in an effective way with technology and the contribution to that knowledge
implemented with actions and the activity theory provides a view of possible contextual
factors and mediators across activity settings that may influence the knowledge development
in other settings. The study by Terpstra (2009) suggested a TPACK activity framework that

repeated annual studies have demonstrated that the teacher/participants have increased their
TPACK. In the MSP project, effective teaching practices were modeled and a collaborative
learning environment was created based on theoretical framework of TPACK by Mishra and
Koehler (2006), whereby teachers are encouraged to develop strategies and ideas about
teaching and learning mathematics while using the technology. In the course, GeoGebra was
integrated by interweaving all three key sources of knowledge: technology, pedagogy, and
mathematics. Data was gathered using several instruments, surveys, classroom observations,
and interviews of all participants in the cohorts. According to the observation protocols by
Escuder and Furner (2011) on 14 mathematics teachers and 5 cohorts, the tendency of
teachers to incorporate technology in their classroom increased from 27.8 percent to 64.3
percent.
The study conducted by Bos (2011) examined the effect of instructional program
made by her to elementary mathematics teachers’ professional development. Bos (2011) used
the TPACK framework with practicing teachers to develop instructional unit using Web 2.0
Some of the activities in the instructional course included requesting the participants to
determine a website they could use in the development of instructional unit that had
determine and practice the website that suitable for conceptual learning in classroom.
Collaborative learning environment was created whereby the participants were grouped into
four and five person to prepare instructional unit and then presented in the class by discussing
their integrated use of mathematical content, pedagogy and technology in their designed
instructional units. To determine the impact of activities, evaluations were done by peer
evaluation to each group’s presentation using a Likert-scale test. The TPACK framework
created a research-based model to Bos (2011) work in increasing the potential of technology
Therefore, some instruments were constructed. TPACK framework is used to assess teacher’s
ability of using technology in teaching. Based on the review of the selected papers, among

Based on Meng and Sam (2013), the research was conducted to develop pre-service
secondary teachers’ TPACK for teaching mathematics with The Geometer’s Sketchpad
(GSP) through Lesson Study (LS). After the representation through two sessions of GSP
The researchers developed the questionnaire based on the development of TPCK framework
by Schmidt et al. (2009) to assess the participants’ TPACK for teaching mathematics with
GPS. Each of the components in the TPACK framework (which were TK, CK, PK, PCK,
TCK, TPK and TPACK) was analyzed to assess the participants’ total TPACK score. The CK
in their research was changed to Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Trigonometry and the
exhibit their TPACK competencies through learning outcomes and how these outcomes
related to their self-reported TPACK. The researchers used TPACK framework to design
teachers’ assessment regarding their usage in technology. For quantitative data, each
component in TPACK framework (TK, PK, CK, TPK, TCK, PCK and TPACK) was
measured and the scores were added to give the total of TPACK score. For qualitative data,
data were collected based on the each component of TPACK framework. Five different
instruments were used in their study to assess the learning outcomes and the TPACK
development of the pre-service mathematics teachers. The instruments are such as TPACK
lesson plan rubric, TPACK observation rubric, product evaluation rubric, ICT skill test and
TPACK survey. Those instruments were used to assess the pre-service mathematics
Agyei and Voogt (2015) later used the instruments in Agyei and Keengwee (2014) to
integration. Agyei and Voogt (2015) evaluated the participants’ TPACK scores for specific
technological tools that was spreadsheet software. The aim of the study was to assess pre-
service mathematics teachers’ TPACK competencies, which are knowledge, attitudes and
skills. Agyei and Voogt (2015) designed and planned activity-based learning supported with
technology as a strategy in their instructional course and TPACK was used as a conceptual
framework to assess knowledge and skills for those participants. Each component in TPACK
framework was assessed to explore the components of TPACK in knowledge and skills,
however, in more specific circumference, which was in their study; PK was defined as
knowledge and skills about applying activity-based learning strategies in teaching while TK
was defined as knowledge and skills in using spreadsheet, their affordances and constraints.

assignments and interview. The assignment was assessed for participants of each component
of TPACK and based on technological activities. The open-ended interviews were done for
their self-assessment. Participants’ answers of each interview question were tabulated and
coded based on the components in the framework. Study by Hansen, Mavrikis & Geraniou

DISCUSSION
Based on the review, it can be concluded that the TPACK framework has provided a valuable
technology integration. TPACK was used as references for the pre-service teachers to choose
affordances technology in the classroom. TPACK was used to construct a lesson plan for
instructions. The interest of using TPACK framework for designing mathematics teacher
professional development program and TPACK survey for assessing teacher knowledge in
various international teacher education contexts is a clear indication of the worldwide impact
Among the suggestion from this review includes that to design mathematics teachers’
professional development program and assess mathematics teachers’ TPACK for certain
subjects of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry and others as well
Sketchpad, IMovie which is appropriate to the subjects. Moreover, the framework for
assessing TPACK can be improved when the descriptors were established. Based on these
suggestions, TPACK has the potential to provide new framework for developing teachers’
