TPACK is a framework developed by Punya Mishra and Matthew Koehler that focuses on the relationships between technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and content knowledge (CK) that teachers need to effectively integrate technology into their teaching. The framework identifies TK, PK, and CK, as well as the intersections of these domains: technological content knowledge (TCK), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). TPACK considers the complex interplay between all three knowledge domains and their sub-domains in order to successfully implement educational technology in the classroom.

TPACK
TECHNOLOGIC AL PEDAGOGICAL & CONTENT KNOWLEDGE WHAT IS TPACK?
Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler are researchers from
Michigan State University, developed TPACK in the absence of other sufficient theory to explain or guide effective educational technology integration. Since its publication in 2006, TPACK has become one of the leading theories regarding edtech and edtech integration: research and professional development activities both draw from it heavily. WHAT IS TPACK? The 2006 TPACK framework, which focuses on technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and content knowledge (CK), offers a productive approach to many of the dilemmas that teachers face in implementing educational technology in their classrooms.
The three types of knowledge – TK, PK, and CK – are thus
combined and recombined in various ways within the TPACK framework. These triangulated areas then constitute TPACK, which considers the relationships among all three areas and acknowledges that educators are acting within this complex space. TK, PK, and CK Content Knowledge (CK)
This describes teachers’ own knowledge of the subject matter. CK
may include knowledge of concepts, theories, evidence, and organizational frameworks within a particular subject matter; it may also include the field’s best practices and established approaches to communicating this information to students. CK will also differ according to discipline and grade level – for example, middle-school science and history classes require less detail and scope than undergraduate or graduate courses, so their various instructors’ CK may differ, or the CK that each class imparts to its students will differ.
Pedagogical Knowledge (PK)
This describes teachers’ knowledge of the practices, processes,
and methods regarding teaching and learning. As a generic form of knowledge, PK encompasses the purposes, values, and aims of education, and may apply to more specific areas including the understanding of student learning styles, classroom management skills, lesson planning, and assessments. Technological Knowledge (TK)
This describes teachers’ knowledge of, and ability to use, various
technologies, technological tools, and associated resources. TK concerns understanding edtech, considering its possibilities for a specific subject area or classroom, learning to recognize when it will assist or impede learning, and continually learning and adapting to new technology offerings. TPACK FRAMEWORK Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
This describes teachers’ knowledge regarding foundational areas
of teaching and learning, including curricula development, student assessment, and reporting results. PCK focuses on promoting learning and on tracing the links among pedagogy and its supportive practices (curriculum, assessment, etc.), and much like CK, will also differ according to grade level and subject matter. In all cases, though, PCK seeks to improve teaching practices by creating stronger connections between the content and the pedagogy used to communicate it.
Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
This describes teachers’ understanding of how technology and
content can both influence and push against each other. TCK involves understanding how the subject matter can be communicated via different edtech offerings, and considering which specific edtech tools might be best suited for specific subject matters or classrooms. Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
This describes teachers’ understanding of how particular
technologies can change both the teaching and learning experiences by introducing new pedagogical affordances and constraints. Another aspect of TPK concerns understanding how such tools can be deployed alongside pedagogy in ways that are appropriate to the discipline and the development of the lesson at hand.
TPACK is the end result of these various combinations and interests,
drawing from them – and from the three larger underlying areas of content, pedagogy, and technology – in order to create an effective basis for teaching using educational technology.
