Enhancing Education: A Comprehensive Framework for Integrating Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Into Teaching and Learning

Mohammed Jibril, Nafisat Afolake Adedokun-Shittu

Abstract


In the digital age, integrating technology into the educational sector is of utmost importance. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has provided educators with a powerful perspective by emphasizing the interaction between technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge. TPACK classifies three key knowledge domains: Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge. While TPACK has enhanced teaching and learning experiences, challenges persist in its implementation. This article reviews the TPACK framework and presents an enhanced conceptual framework that addresses these challenges. The study employs a qualitative research approach. The proposed framework concentrates on TPACK integration, ongoing professional development, and evaluation and reflection. It aims to offer educators a structured approach to seamlessly incorporate digital resources into their teaching methods while encouraging a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability in the educational landscape. This enhanced framework seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice and thereby equip educators with the tools and the necessary strategies to enhance the quality of education in the digital era.
