TPACK REFLECTION

Below is a web to describe what the TPACK Framework is:


The TPACK framework informs the learning design of the necessary content to be taught to your students. Within this framework technology is essential and as the learning manager it is vital to not only know but understand the content which is being taught. This framweork aims to capture some of the essential qualities of teacher knowledge required for technology integration within teaching. It requires you as the Learning manager along with your students to attain and develop technical skills. Teacher education has shifted its focus primarily to pedagogy, emphasising general pedagogical classroom practices idependent of subject matter and often at the expense of content knowledge. Therefore the TPACK framweork encourages different teaching approaches focussing on knowledge of content and knowledge of pedagogy. Without the knowledge of both it becomes impossible for learning managers to teach the correct content.
