Techno -pedagogical competency (adapted)
Pedagogy refers 'Science and Arts of teach- ing'. The word 'Techno' is derived from Latin word 'Texere' which means 'weave or construct'. Techno pedagogy can be referred to the weaving of techniques of teaching into the learning environment itself (Gloria, 2014).
Techno -pedagogical competency is the ability of teachers to make use of technology effectively in teaching.
There are many faculty members who still continue to teach through old, boring, uninteresting lecture method. Now it is the time to increase the efficiency and ability of the teachers by using technology. The teachers should take care that the teaching in the class should not be boring or dull or tiresome . Instead, it should be vast-open, interesting, creative and should provide a new meaningful environment. It is possible if the faculty
1) uses different technology techniques or kinds of media to enrich the academic excellence of the student
2) integrates techno pedagogical skills along with content knowledge.
So it is expected to increase and integrate techno pedagogical skills along with the content knowledge to raise the growth and achievement of the students, which in turn will help the teacher to be updated and motivated.
There are three areas of knowledge in techno-pedagogy, namely: content, pedagogy, and technology.
Influence of Techno-Pedagogy through TPACK
Nowadays, teachers are in great need of technical teaching ability in guiding and preparing for learning because it encourages feasible education and learning. Technical teaching ability is nothing more than a teacher's ability to effectively use creative ability in teaching. At that time, teachers can build technical teaching ability; they can try to use this ability frequently in teaching, which in turn will make the learning process basic and feasible. In technical pedagogy, information includes three areas, in particular, substance, guidance method, and innovation.(i)The content is the topic to be directed(ii)Technology includes advanced innovative technologies such as computers, the Web, advanced video and computing projectors, writing pads, and ordinary advances in books(iii)Pedagogy describes the collected disciplines, forms, techniques, strategies, and instruction and learning strategies. In addition, it contains information about teaching, assessment, and student learning
Innovative integration methods in instructive teaching innovative teaching methods and material information (TPACK) are essentially technology-centric . The integration of technology in teacher teaching is largely influenced by this method.
TPACK combines the introduction of the concept of using technology:
- information about the useful use of innovation to guide substance,
- information about complex or encouraging learning concepts, and
- information about ways that innovation can help to help understand troublesome topics and relevant information and innovate the information that is used.
The TPACK system is the complex exchange of three essential shapes of information:
- content knowledge (CK),
- pedagogical knowledge (PK), and
- technology knowledge (TK).
The TPACK approach goes past seeing these three information bases in segregation. The TPACK system goes advance by emphasizing the sorts of information that lie at the convergences between three essential shapes: pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), technological content knowledge (TCK), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) .
