Nowadays, education is an important thing, especially for teachers. Modern education is a combination of technology and tradition, and it must be reflected by certain means. Therefore, it is very important to have a suitable method. This method needs to enable teachers to use technology to complete the improvement of pedagogy, and this method is TPACK. 

“According to the TPACK framework, specific technological tools (hardware, software, applications, associated information literacy practices, etc.) are best used to instruct and guide students toward a better, more robust understanding of the subject matter (Kurt, 2019). ” This is the purpose of the Tpack framework.

Content Knowledge, this is a framework used to build students’ concepts and cognitive systems. Here, the teacher needs to communicate the scope of the course to the students, just like the outline of a university course.

Technological Knowledge refers to the ability of teachers to master technology. For example, how will a teacher judge a student or his proficiency in the use of computer and other hardware facilities and software facilities.

Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) This requires a teacher to be able to organize the classroom and control and lead the students forward. In this regard, teachers need to show their current understanding of students’ psychology.

The area of some of the remaining intersections in the figure is more detailed, so I won’t emphasize too much here. All in all, Tpack itself is also a set of tools, a set of tools that teachers can apply. In short, Tpack tells teachers that the core of teaching is content. Teaching can be carried out only if the content is substantial and logical.
