This slide explains the different forms of Technological Pedagogical Content knowledge (TPACK) and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). These are helpful in the 21st century classroom and are pivotal for teachers in the profession and teachers in training

2. WHAT IS PCK? • Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) consists
of two subparts, Pedagogical knowledge (PK),
and Content knowledge (CK)
• ‘PK’
is the “how” of teaching encompassing
how learners acquire knowledge, & how
they should be assessed (Tokuhama-
Espinosa, 2019)
• ‘CK’
is the “what” of teaching encompassing
content/subject material to be taught
(Agrawal, 2017)

3. PCK KNOWLEDGE ONE HAS IN HOW TO FUSE CONTENT
KNOWLEDGE WITH PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE TO
RELAY CONTENT (AGRAWAL, 2017)

IT IS THE INTERGATION OF ICT IN THE
CURRICULUM (Tondeur, 2016)
IT FUSES PCK WITH TECHNOLOGY &
ENABLES TEACHERS TO SELECT
TECHNOLOGCAL TOOLS APPROPRIATE FOR
LESSONS THEY ARE TEACHING
ENABLES LESSONS TO ALLOW FOR
AUTHENTIC PRACTICES AND ACTIVE
LEARNING FOR LEARNERS
21ST CENTURY SKILLS (COLLABORATION,
CRTICAL-THINKING, CREATIVITY,
COMMUNICATION) BECOME CENTRAL TO
EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE (Kan fong kuen,
2018)

9. PK- Special knowledge teachers have about being able to make
effective teaching and learning environments for learners
CK- Knowledge teachers have of academic disciplines e.g Theories,
facts or any content taught in an academic discipline
PCK-Overlap of content and pedagogy used by pedagogues to
meaningfully teach learners in the classroom
TK- Information or knowledge about technology

10. TCK-Information and knowledge about technological tools that can be
used by teachers during teaching and learning
TPK-Knowledge teachers have on how they can use technology in the
classroom to effectively deliver lessons that help aid in the learners’
understanding
TPACK-Framework used to explain and show various elements needed by
teachers to teach meaningfully through comprehension of pedagogy
and Technology

TPACK & PCK IN
SOUTH AFRICA

12. IN SOUTH AFRICA, TEACHERS CAN USE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF
CONTENT, PEDAGOGY, AND TECHNOLOGY TO AID LEARNERS’
UNDERSTANDING OF ABSTRACT CONCEPTS
E.g. GOING TO YOUTUBE IN A MATRIC LIFE SCIENCE CLASS AND
DISPLAY OR PLAY A VIDEO ON DNA REPLICATION
TEACHERS IN SOUTH AFRICA CAN ALSO EMPLEMENT AUTHENTIC
ASSESSMENTS THROUGH ONLINE TOOLS SUCH AS GOOGLE
CLASSROOMS, KAHOOT AND MORE, USING SMARTBOARDS PRESENT
IN MOST HIGH SCHOOLS
THIS IS ONLY DONE EFFECTIVELY IF TEACHERS FULLY COMPREHEND
TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT
KNOWLEDGE AS ICT TOOLS ARE CONTEXT SPECIFIC

13. TECHNOLOGICAL INTERGATION
• IN ORDER TO FULLY PREPARE TEACHERS AND PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS FOR
FULL TECHNOLOGICAL USE IN THE CLASSROOM, THE NEED ADEQUATE
TRAINING
• THIS BRINGS ADVANTAGES ON LEARNERS’ LESSONS AS ACTIVE LEARNING
BECOMES ENCOURAGED RATHER THAN PASSIVE LEARNING
• THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH TEACHERS’s TPACK, AND FOR TEACHERS TO
FULLY APPLY THEIR TPACK IN CLASSROOMS, THEY NEED ADEQUATE
TRAINING TO AVOID RISKS OF INEFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL USE IN
CLASSROOMS
