1. Classroom Management and Effective Use of TPACK
The following are ties in effective classroom management and efficient use of TPACK identified by Olatoye and
Atughonu, (2008):
Firstly, attention of learners during lesson: when the teacher is teaching, she needs to employ diverse
teaching methods. While explaining a concept, a step should be taken to caught the attention of the learners at all
time and carry the learners along, regardless of their learning abilities and preferences.
Secondly, sitting and teaching arrangement; learners should be sited based on:
Their eye contact to the board or display point i.e the short sighted learners should sit in front row close
to the board, while the long sighted should sit not close to the board or display point.
Study group: class activities should be structured in groupings such that the learners learn from each
other; the slow learners must be grouped with the fast learners. This will create integration of ideas.
Moreover, the teacher’s standing position in the classroom is crucial:
teacher is not expected to face the board or display point with back to his the learners while teaching.
Her position while teaching matters a lot, she should stand in the position that facilitates eye contact with the
learners at all times. He should not lose sight on any group or particular student while teaching.
Nevertheless, creative and activism:
The teacher needs to be creative by creating activities that will focus the minds of learners in the lesson.
This can be done through: (1) learners’ involvement in discussion process, demonstration or activities
that engage them. (2) Class control: learners from different home background, different attitude to
learning and also different traits meet in a class for learning. The teacher should endeavor to control
misbehavior by maintaining decorum, such that the introvert shall be encouraged to talk while the
extrovert shall be checked with his excessive acts.
The major concern of educators and process technologists are that; how can this change for better and
improve classroom teaching? Will teachers’ content knowledge and adequate use of TPACK enhance effective
classroom practice? What are the implications of all these to pedagogical practices? These are the questions the
study intends to empirically seek answers to.
