TRANSLATOR BY PAULA

Hello! I am Paula and for this time I am the translator of my group. My work consists on define the most five important terms on my own words and based on scientific and academic sources. So, I have chosen as the most important terms the following ones:

TPACK 

TPACK is a model wherein we can find three types of knowledge which teachers use in order to teach: technological, content and pedagogical knowledge. In this model there is an interaction between these bodies of knowledge rendered as PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge), TCK (Technological Content Knowledge) and TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge). 

CONTENT KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge of content involves learning of the deeper concepts, theories and ideas of the discipline that teachers teach; that is the essentials of the subject which they exercise. Content knowledge also requires developing designs and approaches in order to increasing this knowledge.

PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE 

Pedagogical knowledge consists in the acquiring of methods and processes to teach and transmit the contents of the discipline. This knowledge involves the comprehension of how students learn and create strategies to improve the way of teaching. In addition, this knowledge includes the understanding of social, cognitive and cultural theories of learning and the most correct method to apply in the classroom.

TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE

 Technological knowledge is always changing. With this knowledge, technology is used to better transmitting the contents of each discipline. Technology is used as a resource instead of traditional methods because of the persons understanding of technology as an element broadly enough to employ it productively in their work.

CONTEXT 

Context is the information given to delineate the situation of an entity. The entity could be a place, a person or an object. Also, the context is the background or situation closing around an event or phenomenon. 


Conclusively, I have chosen these terms because I think they are the most relevant in relation to TPACK and they must be understood and learned.
