Pravaha: ideas, information and education flow

Hello everyone, Here with me again, Sri, and I am going to summarize a paper entitled The Influence of gender on Beginning Teachers' Perceptions on Their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) which is written by Kathy Jordan, RMIT Australia.  As we know that there are many papers about TPACK and most of those papers are influenced by Mishra and Koehler (2006). More information about TPACK-related paper can be found at this link http://tpack.org/. The researcher found the gap between gender and ICT mastery and the researcher wants to address the gap in the literature by focusing on the influence of gender in survey findings from two cohorts of beginning teachers. Abbitt's (2011) review the TPACK instrument of pre-service teacher education through two parallel approaches and those are performance-based measure (artifacts produced by pre-service teachers) and involve the use of self-reporting measures. The initial design was for pre-service teachers majorin...

Hi everyone, Still about TPACK, and this time I will make a summary from a paper entitle Indonesian EFL teachers’ application of TPACK in in-service education teaching practices written by Bambang Yudi CAhyono, Oktafina Dewi Kurnianti, and Ira Mutiaraningrum who have an affiliation with Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia. Their paper was published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK Vol. 4 No. 5 page 16-30 on May 2016. There is much research in Mathematics, social, science, and language relate to TPACK. Wu and Wang (2015) conducted a research about in-service EFL elementary teachers in Taiwan, Baser et al (2015) developed a TPACK instrument for pre-service EFL teachers and Tseng (2014) developed an instrument for assessing EFL teachers’ TPACK as perceived by EFL students. There other examples of TPACK research in Indonesia was conducted by Mahdun (2015) and Cahyono (2010). Mahdun research about the use of TPACK for senior high school students in Pekanbaru...

This paper entitled Exploring teachers’ use of TPACK in design talk: The collaborative design of technology-rich early literacy activities written by Ferry Boschman (Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands), Susan Mckenney (University of Twente), and Joke Voogt (University of Amsterdam). This paper is published in Elsevier journal under computers and education category. Published in December 2014. This research studied how one group of teachers create technology-rich lesson modules, within designing content and activities for early learning environment what so called as PictoPal. PictoPal contains on-computer and off-computer activities, such as online and offline Clicker. Lanksheaar and Knobel (2003) showed that technology mainly applied in these sectors, coding/decoding and vocabulary. They mentioned that the use of technology for a productive purpose is severely lacking. The research finds out about the nature of design talk when it is a collaboration between rich-...

Hi everyone, Hope today runs as you expected. Still with TPACK, this time I am going to write a summary from a paper entitled development of the TF TPACK survey instrument written by Romina Jamieson-Proctor (University of Southern Queensland), Peter Albion (university of Southern Queensland), Glenn Finger (Griffith University), Rob Cavanagh (Curtin University), Robert Fitzgerald (university of Canberra), Trevor Bond (James Cook University), and Peter Grimbeek (Griffith University). The paper was submitted for Australian Educational Computing journal volume 27 number 3, 2013. The project (teaching teachers for the future = TTF) is funded by Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) through ICT Innovation fund. The paper summarizes the development and psychometric properties of TPACK survey instruments that was developed to use in TTF project. As we know that TPACK helps teachers and educators to bridge the gap between research and cur...

Hi everyone, Still about summarizing paper that relates to TPACK, this time I am going to an interesting paper written by Yi-Feh Yeh (from Science Education Center, National Taiwan Normal University), Ying-Shao Hsu, Hsin-Kai Wu and Sung-Pei Chen (Graduate Institute of Science Education, National Taiwan Normal University). This paper entitled exploring the structure of TPACK with vide-embedded and discipline-focused assessment was published in Elsevier journal under category computers and education (Elsevier.com/locate/compedu). This paper started available online on October 18, 2016. This paper is about how science teachers in Taiwan implementing TPACK in their teaching process. As we know that TPACK is using technology as a tool to assist teachers’ instruction and help students in the learning process. Science is one of the subjects that gets benefits from TPACK because delivering the material is easier when it is using technology for visualization. When there is a disciplinary d...

Hi everyone, Hope that each of you is having good Sunday and wonderful Easter. This time, I am going to write a summary of a paper written by Barbara Martin from Illinois State University, USA. That paper is published in International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE) Vol. 4, No. 1 March 2015. This paper is divided into some sections and those are an introduction, a definition of TPACK, student confidence, leadership and modeling of technology integration, assessment or evaluation of technology integration, integrated technology in teacher preparation, conclusion and references. In that paper, the writer writes about the understanding of teacher in using TPACk as a pedagogical tool during the preparation program. Firstly, this paper discusses the technology which is used by the students, what recently called as digital natives (Presnky, 2001). Although we are the digital native, pre-service teachers mostly use technology mainly focussed on social communica...
