Hi bloggers! I'm Alba García and this week I've been assigned the role of the translator. As this is our first task properly speaking, I am the first translator, so I hope to do it properly and clarify the five main concepts of our project on the TPACK model.
Five of the most relevant concepts in this task are the following:
* Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK): it is a conceptual model which is essential for effective teaching and the effective integration of knowledge in the classroom. TPACK "attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge" (Koehler, 2011).
The concept of TPACK was born of the union of three primary forms of knowledge: Technnology Knowledge (TK), Pedagogy Knowledge (PK) and Content Knowledge (CK). At the intersection of these types of knowledge emerge combined forms of knowledge, which are: Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK). Finally, at the intersection of these three combined types of knowledge is the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK).
* Information and Communications Technology (ICT): it is a term which includes any communication device such as the radio, phones, computer and network hardware and software, etc., or any communication application, such as videoconferencing, distance learning, etc.
ICT allows access, production, processing and communication of any type of information in a range of codes in which we can find image, text, sound, and so on.
* Educational technology: it enables learning and improves performance by creating, using and managing proper technological processes and resources. In other words, it is dedicated to the development and application of tools destinated to promote education.
* Learning: it is the act of acquiring new knowledge, skills, preferences, behaviours or values, or modifying existing ones.
* Teaching:it is the act of providing new knowledge, skills, preferences, behaviours or values to a set of people who don't have them. It is a complex, multifaceted activity which requires the teacher to combine the different activities and objectives flexibly and simultaneously.
