The TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework is a model that helps educators understand how their knowledge of technology, pedagogy, and content can work together to effectively integrate technology into instruction. It emphasizes the complex interplay between these three components and how they influence the design of learning environments and instructional practices.
- Technology knowledge refers to understanding how to use various forms of technology (like digital devices, software applications, etc.) effectively in teaching.
- Pedagogical knowledge refers to understanding teaching methods and strategies that facilitate student learning.
