Week 3 TPACK for nursing education and coach's help

 TPACK model. 

According to Hidayati et al. (2022) the use of the TPACK framework is a two improvement way in teaching, it helps students understand the lesson content and it helps the teachers with their teaching skills. It is necessary that the teacher has competencies and ability to integrate technology. 

In addition to being technologically competent, a teacher is required to have pedagogic, social, personality, and professional competencies. With pedagogic competence, the teacher designs, evaluates and actualizes material. With personal competence they become role models. With social competency, teachers communicate and interact with students and the community. With professional competence, the teacher is able to guide students to obtain competencies (Hidayati, et al., 2022). 

In the case of teaching nursing students, it is required for the teacher to have a nursing degree and some years of experience as a nurse to become a nurse educator. From the postings for nurse educator jobs, a few of them require technology competency. However, if they get two candidates with the same level of education and one is technology competent while the other is not, the competent one will get the job.  

Part of the training of a nurse is to become a critical thinker. A new nurse must be prepared to gather information and then decide if she should panic, take it easy, or just monitor when a set of events are presented in her job. I didn’t know about the cognitive learner model before this class, but I now can see how my teachers used dialogue and self-reflection to help us learn concepts. The instructor of this class and my partner coach from last week used this model to help me with my question when I talked to them. 

The cognitive learner model is a nonjudgmental, developmental, and reflective model with a focus on cognitive development. This model uses dialogue to grow, plan, reflect and solve problems together. The teacher becomes a coach and helps the student to self-direct to achieve goals. Coaches must have skills, capabilities, mental maps, beliefs, values, and commitments. (Costa & Garmston, 2015). 

Asynchronous learning can be supplemented with coaching. A good example we have is the instructor for this class had office hours to help students with their variety of needs. I got the idea to integrate my teaching LMS project office hours and self-reflection opportunities for my students. 

The ISTE standard for students, teachers, and coaches was not that clear to me until I got the opportunity to meet with my partner for this class. I was very fortunate to have as a partner and educator with over twenty years of experience in a variety of settings. In a non-judgmental way she gave me advice. We read together the ISTE goals and made sure we were on the right track. 

My partner and I meeting over Zoom helped me understand the seven critical elements of essential conditions for technology and support learning. If one of the elements is missing, there is no possibility to implement the changes (International Society for Technology and Education, 2025).  

It was a nice experience to have some to listen to my ideas for implementing learning modules for nursing and their communication skills. I plan to develop a short teaching course in communication for nurses. I am grateful to have the instructor who listened to me during her office hours and my partner who took time out of her busy schedule to help me plan my goals.

Monica Tubbesing Blog TPACK

Monica Tubbesing's TPACK discussion. The Technology, Pedagogical, and Cont ent Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework first introduced by Punia Mishra and Mathew J. Ko ehler in 2006. There are three domains that are interconnected and should be balanced to integrate technology into the classroom. The domains are a) Content Knowledge (CK), b) Pedagogical Knowledge PK), and c) Technological Knowledge. This framework is visually learned by the intersection of three circles , each circle representing a domain (Kurt, 2018) .   The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed seven competencies or standards for students . Many countries have embraced these competences. These standards prepare students to navigate through technology to shift fr om a teacher learning environment into a student driven environment.     The ISTE seven competencies for students are a) Empowered Learner, b) Digital Citizenship , c) Knowledge Constructor, d) Innovative Designer...
