Abstract

Objective: To use and assess audiovisual tools to enhance learning in the classroom, based on the theoretical TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) model. Methodology: Application of the TPACK model which uses a” Wicked”, “Creative” and “Package” approach, in which teachers are the designers of their educational tools which help them creatively resolve learning issues. Either qualitative or quantitative techniques were used for validation purposes. Results: Educational videos were produced involving a pre-production, production, and post-production phase. Results are based on parameters that include attention, curiosity, usefulness for review purposes, learning engagement, extent to which it helped students better understand the content and the desire to reuse these videos. Furthermore, since these videos are viewed on YouTube, the number of views has been tracked for the past four years. Conclusions: Integration of teacher knowledge with content, pedagogy and technology provides a meaningful and efficient way of teaching through the use of technology – specifically, educational videos.
