Abstract

This chapter gives a brief review of literature of TPACK and the variables researchers have focused on during the past decade. The review of literature is divided into four parts: the research done on the emergence of the model and the educationists' works on the theoretical aspects of TPACK; how certain researchers have tried to validate the TPACK model and the contradictions they revealed in the process; the assessment of the model in the context of teaching and the way TPACK can be related to other attributes of teachers and their context of teaching; and finally the measures of TPACK including both subjective and performance measures.
