Development of a Model for the TPACK for Children with Learning Disability

This paper proposes the development of a model for the TPACK for college students with learning disability. A learning disability is a neurological disorder. Students with learning disabilities are smart as or smarter than their peers. But they may have difficulty in reading, writing, spelling, reasoning, recalling and or organizing information if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways The TPACK framework was derived from the conceptions of Shulman 1986 , who placed importance on the complex inter relationships between the teacher's knowledge about pedagogy, content, and the different ways to characterize subject matter. The broad conception of TPACK is the knowledge regarding the interactions between Content Knowledge CK , Pedagogy Knowledge PK , and Technology Content TK in teaching through the use of technology. Koehler and Mishra emphasized the importance of domains-Pedagogical Content Knowledge PCK , Technological Content Knowledge TCK , Technological Pedagogical Knowledge TPK and TPACK-as a way to see the interaction among the three main domains CK, PK and TK . This paper aims to available TPACK for college students with learning disability and facilitate their learning process in the classroom. Thus this paper tries to answer the following questions. What is meant by learning disability What is meant by TPACK Are there any TPACK available for college students with learning disability A suggestive model of TPACK for college students with learning disability. So, in this paper a TPACK model is presented for college students with learning disability in the higher education. Dr. K. S.
