Today's lecture was conducted by Dr. Siti and we learned about Instructional Design. So, what is Instructional Design? Instructional design is the creation of learning experiences and materials in a manner that results in the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills. Instructional designs are important for every instructional designer as it helps in the process of assessing needs, designing a process, developing materials and evaluating their effectiveness. An Instructional Designer needs to through a process of well-thought stages before proceeding with their content development. To make it less complicated, this ID Models can be linked with the guideline from TPCK/TPACK. As what we have learned about TPCK during the lecture; T stands for Technological, P stands for Pedagogical, C stands for Content and lastly K stands for Knowledge. TPCK was introduced later introduced by Koehler and Mishra (2005) as an added technological T to Shulman’s pedagogical content knowledge; PCK. TPCK was introduced as a way of representing what teachers need to know about technology, and argue for the role of authentic design-based activities in the development of this knowledge. As we know, integrating technology into teaching does not come in handy. One way in making sure the success of integrating technology into teaching is to focus on the possible problems that could arise. This will then help us as educators to think of the right combinations of technologies, teaching approach and instructional goals before proceeding with planning a TPACK framework for our students. TPACK is like a guideline for educators in creating a meaningful lesson for our students. It helps us as educators to know the prior knowledge regarding the technological, pedagogical, content and knowledge that our students have. This aid in building on existing understanding to develop new learning theories or strengthen the old ones. So to conclude, this week's lecture was crucial to me as it helps in building my knowledge that I needed to know as a preparation for me to become an educator in the future. Through TPCK, my future students could enhance their knowledge and leave a room for improvisation for me as a future educator. Sincerely, Umairah
