2. PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (PCK)e
PCK includes “the most useful form of representation of the most powerful analogies, illustrations, examples, explanation and
demonstration in a word, the ways of representing and formulating the subject that make it comprehensible to others PCK is an accumulation
of common elements.
 Knowledge of subject matter
 Knowledge of students and possible misconceptions
 Knowledge of curriculum
 knowledge of general pedagogy
PCK is know what, when, why and how to teach using a reservoir of knowledge of good teaching practice and experience.
TECHNOLOGICAL PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (TPACK)
TPACK frame work
It is a frame work to understand and describe the kinds of knowledge needed by a teacher for effective pedagogical practice in a
technology enhanced learning environment. The idea of pedagogical content knowledge was first described by Lee Shulman and TPACK
builds on those core ideas through the inclusion of technology. The TPACK frame work argues that effective technology integration for
teaching specific content or subject matter requires understanding and negotiating relationships between these three components:
technology, pedagogy and content. A teacher capable of negotiating these relationships represents a form of expertise different from and
broader than, the knowledge of a disciplinary expert, a technology expert or an expert at teaching/pedagogy. The TPACK frame work high
lights complex relationships that exist between content, pedagogy and technology knowledge areas may be useful organizational
structure for defining what it is that teachers need to know to integrate technology effectively.

3. TPACK knowledge areas
TPACK consists of 7 different areas.
CK, PK, TK, PCK, TCK, TPK, TPCK. All of these knowledge areas are considered with in a particular contextual frame work.
1) Technology knowledge (TK)
It refers to an understanding of the way that technologies are used in a specific content domain. For example, for physics teacher, it can
understand of the range of technologies that physicists use in science and industry. Within the context of technology integration in schools, it
appears to most often refer to digital technologies such as laptops, the internet and software applications. TK does however go beyond digital
purpose of existing technologies. So that they can be used in a technology
2) Content Knowledge (CK)
It may be defined as “a through grounding in college level subject matter or a command of the subject “. It may also include knowledge of
concepts, theories, conceptual frame works as well as knowledge about accepted ways of developing knowledge.
3) Pedagogical knowledge (PK)
Pedagogical knowledge includes generic knowledge about how students learn, teaching approach methods of assessment and knowledge
of different theories about learning. This knowledge alone is necessary but in sufficient for teaching purposes. In addiction a teacher
requires content knowledge.
4) Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)
It is the knowledge about how to combine pedagogy and content effectively. This is knowledge about how to make a subject
understandable to learners.
5) Technological content knowledge (TCK)
It refers to knowledge about how technology may be used to provide new ways of teaching content. For example: digital animation makes
it possible for students to conceptualize how electrons are shared between atoms when chemical compound are formed.
6) Technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK)
It refers to the affordances and constraints of technology as an enabler of different teaching approaches. For example: online
collaboration tools may facilitate social learning for geographically separated learners.
7) Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK
It refers to the knowledge and understanding of the interplay between CK, TK and PK when using technology for teaching and learning. It
includes an understanding of the complexity of relationships between students, teacher ’s content, practices and technologies.

4. GENERATION AND TRANSACTION OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE IN THE LIGHT OF TPCK PARADIAGRAM
There are several elements that teachers must consider when creating lesson plans and one frame work for describing these
elements in referred to as TPCK: technology, pedagogy, content and knowledge. Essentially this frame work is graphically representing
using incorporate all elements in order to meet the expectation of the TPCK model. Simply the TPCK model centers on the instruction of
the three most important elements of teaching in 21st century.
Using computers, in education students consciously employed in TPCK model as they created lessons for their virtual class room. IN
addition to creating lessons and resources or virtual of or future students, this class imparted constructivist activities up on its students.
The intersection of content knowledge, technology knowledge and pedagogical knowledge is essential when developing lesson plans
in order to ensure that the student are receiving quality education that fosters critical and creating thinking skills.
CONCLUSION
In the modern society one of the major changes in education can be described as a general shift from teaching to learning the
teacher role is increasingly to assist students to become good learners. At the same time, teacher must help create stronger relationship
between the subjects of study and create reality, putting them in a more relevant context for student.
