Abstract:

“This paper reports the use of Nonaka’s knowledge creation spiral as a design strategy for developing teacher TPACK. While it is evident in the literature the importance of TPACK for technology integration, it is less obvious how to develop TPACK in teachers. Designed using the case study approach, a total of 28 teachers participated in our professional development programme that required them develop shared knowledgeable objects as a knowledge creating community. Preliminary findings indicated a growth of TPACK evidenced by (1) a deep understanding of student learning difficulty, (2) a tight technology and pedagogy coupling in the lesson design, and (3) appropriate design of TPACK scaffolds. We discuss our early assertions of Nonaka’s knowledge creation spiral as conclusion of this paper.”
