TPACK

TPACK, or technological pedagogical and content knowledge includes ICT's into the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) framework of Schulman. Schulman first introduced the phrase "pedagogical content knowledge" in 1967. This created a new wave of thinking and got academics debating the way in which teachers impart their knowledge towards the learner.

Schulman's framework can be divided into types of knowledge that teachers need to master, content knowledge, also known as "deep" knowledge of the subject itself, and knowledge of the curricular development.


The TPACK framework is a conceptual framework integrating educational technology by building on Schulman's PCK framework.The TPACK framework suggests that teachers integrate technology into their already established pedagogies. In doing this teachers are combining all the necessary tools needed to be successful in their learning approach.
