Leveraging pedagogical knowledge for effective technology integration in education: A research-based approach

Abstract

Teachers' Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) is essential for effective education, influencing both teaching practices and student outcomes. This study examines the dimensions of TPK, including subject-specific knowledge, teaching strategies, socio-emotional competence, and technology integration, and their impact on the teaching profession. Data were collected from 450 teachers via a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software. The findings highlight the relationship between TPK and teaching effectiveness, with significant correlations to teaching quality, subject matter expertise, and professional development success. The study also shows that teacher professionalism is closely linked to TPK, offering valuable insights for educational policy and practice.
