The present paper explores one of the most important aspects related to every sector today, including education - the integration of information and communication technology in day to day working. Along with the pedagogical content knowledge, teachers also need to be well versed with the ICT skills and also in the various tools that can be effectively be used to enhance their teaching. Weblog or Edublog of web 2.0 technology is one such tool that has the potential to augment and encourage student engagement and inspiration outside the classroom. The 21st century technology is needed in teaching and learning and applying these skills in a contemporary environment is becoming most essential. Edublogs as a tool and their uses in education have been discussed here. Edublogs are helpful in concerted learning, new knowledge construction and skill expansion that can help the student teachers in their professional development.

<p style="text-align: justify;">In recent years, integrating technology into education continues to attract more attention along with the rapid growth of information and communication technology. In the literature, teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) plays an essential role in successfully integrating technology into teaching and learning contexts. This study aims to provide a comprehensive view of prior literature and some possible directions for researchers and educators for further TPACK studies. A total of 106 papers were chosen from the Springer database and synthesized. Frequency of annual publications, number of documents with and without TPACK in the title, research methods, number of authors, major contributed countries, most cited papers, and most productive journals in TPACK research were reviewed. The results showed that TPACK has continued to receive attention from researchers in the past decade. Among the reviewed publications, each of the 53 documents included the term TPACK in the title and abstract. To date, qualitative methods were more frequently adopted in TPACK research than quantitative, mixed, and non-empirical methods. Most papers published in TPACK research have two authors. When ranked by country, the US has the highest contribution compared to other countries in this field, followed by Turkey, Australia, Singapore, and Taiwan. The authors with the most cited papers were Min-Hsien Lee and Chin-Chung Tsai with 210 citations. Based on the number of articles published in TPACK, <em>The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher</em> and <em>TechTrends</em> seemed to be the most contributing journal in this field.</p>

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate and complement the ways of improving the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge-Programming (TPACK-P) educational program and verify the improved program’s effect on pre-service teachers’TPACK.Methods/Statistical Analysis: The TPACK-P educational program was conducted for 19 pre-service teachers; two difficulty items were investigated. A survey was administered to identify any improvement. To verify the effect of the improved program on the pre-service teachers’ TPACK, two programs involving distinct technological tools were applied to the control and experimental groups. To generate comparable results, the same research procedure was adopted as in a previous study, with some modifications.Findings: The pre-service teachers had difficulties in the process of learning programming, designing lessons, and developing programs in the TPACK-P educational program. In addition, they needed increased time for learning programming and analyzing the activities in the TPACK-P class. Therefore, the improved TPACK-P educational program added programming-based activities (analysis of curriculum based on programming, analysis of TPACK-P instructional cases, and development of the TPACK-P program in the programming environment). As a result of engaging the pre-service teachers in the improved TPACK-P educational program, the pre-service teachers’ TPACK was effectively developed in all areas. Moreover, it was found to be more effective in improving the knowledge of technology than information and communication technology (ICT)-based TPACK educational program was.Improvements/Applications: This study can be used as a basic foundation for carrying out programming-based TPACK education for pre-service teachers.
