1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,750
in discussions of learning technologies, you may have heard the acronym

2
00:00:04,750 --> 00:00:06,110
TPCK

3
00:00:06,110 --> 00:00:07,920
or TPACK

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,900
TPACK stands for

5
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,609
technological pedagogical

6
00:00:11,609 --> 00:00:14,529
and content knowledge

7
00:00:14,529 --> 00:00:17,679
so to understand what this is we first need to draw a few circles

8
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:18,939
let's start with

9
00:00:18,939 --> 00:00:23,600
a green circle and call this technology

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,080
technology represents technical
knowledge so the ability to use software

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,140
the ability to use a computer and so
forth

12
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:34,080
there other domains of knowledge as well

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,790
like for instance

14
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:37,920
content knowledge

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,780
we'll put a C for content knowledge this
includes

16
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:45,050
if you're a high school language arts
teacher, language arts, it includes science

17
00:00:45,050 --> 00:00:49,200
social studies and so forth so what you
as a teacher trying to convey to your

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,100
students

19
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,210
and also working off Shulman's idea

20
00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,130
here's an idea of

21
00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:57,420
pedagogical knowledge as well

22
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,920
so this is how to teach

23
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,560
so for instance though you may be an
expert in quantum physics you may not

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,720
know how to teach quantum physics

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,630
or if you're an expert in Shakespeare you
may not know how to teach Shakespeare

26
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:12,620
similarly

27
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:16,200
there is a subdomain of knowledge called
PCK

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,100
which is where pedagogical knowledge of
the subject and content knowledge meet

29
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,110
to allow you to effectively teach that
specific content knowledge

30
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:27,830
similarly

31
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:29,720
the authors of TPACK

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,380
propose that there are other subdomains
as well like for instance

33
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,450
technological content knowledge area

34
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:39,219
in which you know the technology and how
it relates to your content knowledge so

35
00:01:39,219 --> 00:01:45,760
again if you teach social studies you
know how to use technology to support

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,400
research in that field

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
or study that field

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,579
similarly

39
00:01:50,579 --> 00:01:53,350
there's technological pedagogical
knowledge

40
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:56,750
in which you know how to use technology
to support teaching

41
00:01:56,750 --> 00:02:01,170
now the whole idea of TPACK is to get at
something we failed at getting at

42
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:03,170
learning technologies for many years

43
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:06,350
that's the central idea here

44
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:07,790
this is how

45
00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:12,200
all three of these technology pedagogy
and content knowledge work together

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,799
in very complicated way to support good teaching

47
00:02:16,799 --> 00:02:18,329
now

48
00:02:18,329 --> 00:02:21,480
TPACK has been under some attack

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,390
because it does propose to be an
entire package or the full view

50
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:30,349
of technological integration and part of
the response that the TPACk authors have

51
00:02:30,349 --> 00:02:31,609
come up with

52
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:33,219
for defending TPACK

53
00:02:33,219 --> 00:02:35,749
has been to put a dotted

54
00:02:35,749 --> 00:02:40,369
circle around everything

55
00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:42,499
that they say is context

56
00:02:42,499 --> 00:02:43,969
so

57
00:02:43,969 --> 00:02:47,920
if you're in an elementary school for instance

58
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,199
the way TPACK looks will be very different than if you're in higher education

59
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,389
if you were in the corporate sector this
would be very different as well

60
00:02:57,389 --> 00:03:01,919
so ultimately though TPACK tries to get at
at understanding how these three domains

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,430
of knowledge interact with one another
in creating sub domains that are

62
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:08,299
essential to understand

63
00:03:08,299 --> 00:03:09,120
to support

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,389
effective technological
integration
