science teacher as a technopedagogue
The term ‘PEDAGOGUE’
is derived from two Greek words pais,paidos meaning boy and agogos meaning
guide,which together connets a ‘teacher’.pedagogic implies the science of
teaching.By pedagogic analysis we mean a logical and systematic breakup of the
curriculum from the point of view of a pedegogue for the purpose of its
effective transaction.
Technopedagogy
refers to the techniques of the craft of teaching into the learning environment
itself.It requires conscious recognition of the mediated learning environment
in order to maximize the ease and clarity in the transmission of information.
Technology is a
broad and constantly changing skill-set required of faculty and selecting the appropriate
technopedagogical strategies to effectively engage students in the content is a
separate skill-set.Media literacy influence student’s development and
developing a critical analysis of media consumption is an important skill for
students.The dynamics of classroom change when e-learning is a part of regular
learning environment.The technological pedagogial content knowledge is a
collaboratively developed framework of scholars and researchers seeking to
conceptualize and clarity the competencies that evolve from the intersection
between pedagogy and technology.
Pedagogical
content knowledge was first described by Leeshulman[1986]and TPACK builds on
core ideas through the inclusion of technology.Technological content knowledge
refers to the knowledge about how technology may be used to provide new ways of
teaching content.
TPACK is an
emergent form of knowledge that goes beyond all ‘core’ components
[content,pedagogy and technology]. Technological pedagogical content knowledge
is an understanding that emerges from interactions among content, pedagogy and
technology related knowledge.It is the basis of effective teaching with
technology.
Technology in the
classroom is becoming more and more predominant.According to various studies ,
students prefer technology because they believe that makes learning more
interesting and fun.Subjects that are challenging or boring can become more
interesting with virtual lessons ,through a video or when using a tablet.Using
technology in the classroom would help to prepare them for the digital
future.Thus surely technology implies or occupies an important place.
