What is Pedagogical Knowledge

The Padlet TPACK training was implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic when teachers needed guidance with online synchronous lessons. In Oman, professional development programs do not always result in an effective knowledge transfer into teaching practices. Therefore, in response to impeding factors, a grounded action research was conducted with six primary EFL novice teachers to investigate an alternative approach. The Padlet training provided a rich educational environment and facilitated peer-cooperation. Furthermore, peer feedback and reflective e-portfolios helped teachers identify their strengths and address their weaknesses which improved their technological pedagogical content knowledge. This chapter provides educators, supervisors, and trainers with tips and recommendations to design and conduct alternative PD educational technology training programs.
