Pew FTLC - Enhancing Interdisciplinary Instruction at Brooks College Through TPACK Development Learning Community (LC)
Description
The earner of this badge has collaborated with fellow Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies faculty to explore TPACK (Technical Pedagogical Content Knowledge), a framework that combines Content Knowledge (CK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), and Technical Knowledge (TK) to enhance teaching practices. The earner of this badge will have examined ways to apply the principles of TPACK to deepen the implementation of Student-Centered Learning (SCL) in interdisciplinary courses. By experimenting and discussing the integration of a broad range of technologies (from traditional tools to advanced AI), the earner of this badge has developed strategies to overcome challenges related to pedagogy, technology, curriculum and the learning environment, ensuring that the approach effectively leverages TPACK to support interdisciplinary instruction.
