Analysis about the Relevance of TPACK in Teaching and Learning Process

In a world where change is constant, modernization and globalization

continue to takes place, where technology has been the new norm people are trying
to master in the field of education, job and businesses and even with the day-to-day
living.

But I’m going to discuss how advancements help education in terms of

teaching and learning process since we discuss a lot of ways to make use of
technology in the classroom. According to the video, the TPACK Model is a new
framework for combination or integration of technology in education.

So what is this so called TPACK? It stands for Technological Pedagological

Knowledge where the professor’s or the teacher’s task is to explain the set of
knowledge that the profs/ teachers need to teach the students on a subject or
expertise, on how to teach effectively and make better use of technology.

This TPACK could be divided into six domains based on the video, namely:
Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagological Knowledge (PK), Content
Knowledge (CK), Pedagological Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological
Content Knowledge TCK), and the Technological Pedagological Knowledge
(TPK).

TK- refers to the tools; how to technology is used to select, utilize, and
integrate technology; and is not just focused about devices but of content also
through applications, website and games.

PK- refers to how the professors/ teachers teach; by means of instructional

strategies, teaching methods and assessments.
 CK- refers to what professors’/ teachers’ know; the expertise that is made up
of facts, concepts and theories.

PCK- refers to the knowledge of the professor/ teacher has on how to

effectively engage students in learning concepts and skills.

TCK- refers to how technology is used in a subject area for deep and lasting
learning.

TPK- refers to the professor’s/ teacher’s understanding of how to choose and

manage technology for students.

And when these six domains were integrated it is now the formation of the
TPACK which refers to the understanding of how tools can advance the teaching
of the professor/ teacher and support the students’ learning more deeply and
effectively.

These TPACK, in my opinion after watching the video clip, is an

intersection of ideas/ knowledge, ways and processes and the utilization of
technology in order to give a better discussion to the students where they could
learn more and be advanced in terms of technology.

The advancements that the technology have brought to all of us play a huge
role in today’s living since we could make better use of it in order to gain more and
efficient insights and knowledge about a certain topics that the teacher will be
discussing. This TPACK could be applied by the teachers to their students and also
to their work field. The dissemination of lessons and activities to students is now
easier through online platforms and the students can also make use of online media
to refer and find guide to the lessons.
 All I could say is that TPACK, if utilized properly by the professor once
chosen his/ her best domain, the success in teaching will be done. It is a success for
both the teachers and the students. It is all about the advancements where
education is trying to adapt and cope. It does not mean that technology is now the
center of learning, it is just a help or another method to make education more
advanced and reasonable.
