TECHNOLOGICAL PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (TPACK): A FRAMEWORK FOR B.ED. STUDENTS’ CLASSROOM PRACTICES

In this paper an effort is made to explore how TPACK is useful for B.Ed. students. The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential of TPACK to be integrated into both initial and continuing teacher education programs in India. In other words, it explores the ways in which B.Ed. students and teacher educators might apply their knowledge of TPACK to their classroom practices during their internship. It also focuses on the importance of 21st-century educators for incorporating technology into their lessons. The study set out to determine how widespread TPACK application is in teacher education programs, as well as the nature of the connection between technological and pedagogical materials. This is a mixed-methods study that analyses and interprets documents and secondary sources (such as books, expert opinion, papers, journals, theses, websites, unstructured interviews etc).
