This document discusses technopedagogy, which refers to integrating technology and sound pedagogical principles in education. It provides definitions of key related concepts like technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK), which recognizes the complex interactions between technology, pedagogy, and subject content. The document also discusses how technopedagogy is particularly relevant for commerce education given changing business technologies. It lists some methods of integrating technology in commerce classrooms, like e-learning, virtual field trips, and computerized accounting. Overall, the document advocates for technopedagogic analysis to make learning more engaging and improve both student learning and teacher effectiveness.

2. This is the age of technology . Its influence is being reflected in all fields .
Education too , technology being a developmental endeavour aiming at raising the
level of productivity of a nation . Pedagogy implies the science of teaching
.Technology in professional development is a complex issue . Due to the
constantly changing nature and development of new technology , a gap exists in
researching the effectiveness of new tools on teaching and learning Techno-pedagogy
demands that life world experience be enmeshed in hyper learning .
Techno-pedagogy refers to weaving the techniques of the craft of teaching into
the learning itself. It requires conscious recognition of the mediated learning
environment in order to maximize the ease and clarity in the transmission of
information . Positioning educational technologies as artifacts within their social
applications of teaching and learning , and providing a grammar of practice
identifying specific techno-pedagogical competencies allows faculty to make " the
work of practitioners at the center of professional study " in a community of
practice. Techno - Pedagogy may be defined as electronically mediated courses that
integrate sound pedagogic principles of teaching/learning with the use of technology.

3. Commerce is the exchange of items of value between Persons or
Companies. Any exchange of money for a product, service or information is considered a
deal of Commerce. The Internet and an efficient postal system have made International
Commerce convenient for business as well as individuals.
Technological - pedagogical knowledge is an understanding of how teaching
and learning change when particular technologies are used . This includes
knowing the pedagogical affordances and constraints of a range of technological tools
and resources as they relate to disciplinarily and developmentally appropriate
pedagogical designs and strategies. Developing TPK requires building an understanding
of the potential benefits and limitations of particular technologies as they can be

4. applied within particular types of learning activities, as well as the educational contexts
within which these technologically supported activities function best.
An important aspect of TPK is the creative flexibility with available tools
necessary in planning to use them for specific pedagogical purposes . The Technological
Pedagogical Content Knowledge is a collaboratively developed framework of
scholars and researchers seeking to conceptualize and clarify the competencies
that evolve from the intersection between technology and pedagogy .

5.  Pedagogical knowledge (PK):
Knowledge of nature of teaching and learning,
including teaching methods, classroom management, instructional planning, assessment
of student learning, etc.
 Content knowledge (CK):
Knowledge of the subject matter to be taught (e.g.,
earth science, mathematics, language arts, etc.)
 Technology knowledge (TK):
Continually changing and evolving knowledge base
that includes knowledge of technology for information processing, communications, and
problem solving, and focuses on the productive applications of technology in both work
and daily life
 Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK):
Knowledge of the pedagogies, teaching practices, and
planning processes that are applicable and appropriate to teaching a given subject
matter

6. Technological content knowledge (TCK):
Knowledge of the relationship between subject
matter and technology, including knowledge of technology that has influenced and is
used in exploring a given content discipline.
 Technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK):
Knowledge of the influence of technology on teaching
and learning as well as the affordances and constraints of technology with regard to
pedagogical designs and strategies
 Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK):
Knowledge of the complex interaction among the
principle knowledge domains (content, pedagogy, technology)
Most likely, however, Commerce curriculum will eventually absorb e-commerce,
just as it has absorbed information systems, globalization, and other “hot”
topics in the world of business. Ten years from now, the word "business” will
automatically mean digital signatures, online supply chains, electronic payments, and all
the other elements of today’s “e-commerce.” For the time being, however, academic

7. needs e-commerce courses to bridge the gap. Since the foundation of studies in this
area is higher secondary in commerce, the learners should be updated with the latest
changes in technology. For this a teacher should analyse techno-pedagogical aspects.
FEW methods of TECHNOLOGY IN COMMERCE CLASSROOMS FOR
In the era of dynamic changes in the field of commerce, trade
and industry, IT has a pivotal role to play in the education of that discipline. The role of
IT in commerce education goes far beyond the direct use of instructional devices. Some
of the methods of technology for effective instruction in commerce classrooms (techno-pedagogic
analysis in commerce education) are discussed below:-
 E-LEARNING
 Virtual learning environment (VLE)
 Virtual field trip
 PEDAGOGY AND E-LEARNING
 Internet as a Mass Media
 INTERACTIVE CD-ROMS
 POWER POINT PRESENTATION
 COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING
 Blended Learning.

8. Techno-pedagogic analysis is very much important in a learner
centered education system. Now-a- days it is an integral part of curriculum in all teacher
education programmes. Techno-pedagogic analysis is a very complex process which is to
be done with skill and utmost care. Through the techno-pedagogy we can make the
learning experiences vivid and thorough. Techno-pedagogic analysis will be more useful
to arts discipline like commerce, as it can dramatically improve the learning
performance of students as well as the teaching productivity and effectiveness of
teachers.
