Competency level of technological pedagogical contents knowledge (TPCK) framework amongst graduate teachers

Abstract

This article propose a framework for educational technology based on Shulman’s formulation of ‘‘pedagogical content knowledge’’ and extend it to the integration of technology into it. It attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of teacher knowledge required for technology integration in teaching. Briefly, that thoughtful pedagogical uses of technology require the development of a complex, situated form of knowledge that we call Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK). The TPCK framework has much to offer to discussions of technology integration at multiple levels: theoretical, pedagogical, and methodological as well as the complex roles of, and interplay among, three main components of learning environments: content, pedagogy, and technology
