TPACK Model lesson plan

MY reflection

TPACK model provides a framework for understanding how technology can be effectively integrated into teaching and learning. As an educator, reflecting on the TPACK model has been instrumental in enhancing my instructional practices.


One aspect of the TPACK model that I find particularly valuable is the emphasis on the intersection of technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge. This intersection highlights the importance of not only understanding the subject matter but also knowing how to effectively teach it using appropriate pedagogical strategies and technology tools.

Reflecting on my own teaching practice through the lens of the TPACK model has helped me identify areas where I can improve. For example, by considering how technology can enhance the delivery of content and engage students in meaningful learning experiences, I have been able to incorporate more interactive and collaborative activities into my lessons.

Furthermore, the TPACK model has encouraged me to continually seek out new technologies and explore innovative ways to integrate them into my teaching. By staying current with technological trends and experimenting with different tools, I have been able to create more dynamic and engaging learning environments for my students.

In conclusion, reflecting on the TPACK model has been a transformative experience for me as an educator. It has helped me develop a more holistic approach to teaching that considers the unique intersection of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. By leveraging this framework, I am better equipped to meet the diverse needs of my students and foster their learning and growth in the digital age. 

Lesson Plan: Magical Magnets (TPACK Integration)

Subject: Science

Grade Level: 3rd

Time: 45 Minutes

Teaching method: Collaborative learning


  1. Learning Objectives:At the end of the lesson children will be able to;

  2. Students will be able to identify the properties of magnets (attraction and repulsion).

  3. Students will be able to differentiate between magnetic and non-magnetic materials.

  4. Students will be able to explain the real-world applications of magnets.TPACK Integration:


Teaching learning Materials: internet with google Docs, PowerPoint, video link, images, digital tools, textbook.

Previous Knowledge: students have learned about the Magnet.

Lesson Introduction (10 minutes):

Student will introduce the topic in detail, and activate prior knowledge: the teacher will provide Content Knowledge(CK) by asking the following question to the students;

1.  What are some common objects that are attracted to magnets?

2. How do magnets attract or repel each other?

3. Can you name some everyday uses of magnets in our lives?


After that teacher will provide information input on characteristics of magnetism, magnetic properties, repulsion, attraction etc

Lesson development

Activity(20 min):Collaborative learning (Pedagogical Knowledge)


    Instruction

  •   The teacher will divide students into groups of four members each.

  •  Ask student to predict whether each object will attract or not

  •  Provide a valid reason why the object will attract or repeal and enter in the        recording sheet



Object 

Attract or not

reason

iron



pencil



book



nail




Follow up: 5 minutes

Experiments  guide the students to conduct a simple experiment. One by one carefully place each object in the table and observe whether it gets attracted by a magnet or not. Record the results on the recording sheet


Lesson Conclusion (10 minutes):


Review: The teacher reviews the key concepts of the lesson: attraction, repulsion, magnetic and non-magnetic materials.

Real-world Applications: The teacher discusses some real-world applications of magnets, such as compasses, refrigerator magnets, and MRI machines.

Exit Ticket: Students can draw a picture or write a short sentence about something they learned about magnets.
