Abstract

This paper is aimed at providing a review of studies related to technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The literature is based on credible sources especially journal articles published within 20 recent years on reliable journals and publishers. The TPACK model, its roles, and findings of related empirical studies are reviewed and analysed. On that basis, the author stressed the necessity to conduct research on TPACK in the context of Vietnam. Three directions for future research include validating recent TPACK assessment tools, researching foreign language teachers’ TPACK, and focusing on TPACK development and its effect on teaching and learning of foreign languages.
Keywords: Foreign language, knowledge, teacher education and training, TPACK

Tóm tắt

Bài viết này phân tích tổng quan về kiến thức ứng dụng công nghệ thông tin (technological pedagogical content knowledge - TPACK) trong dạy học ngoại ngữ. Dựa trên các nghiên cứu được xuất bản trên các tạp chí quốc tế có uy tín trên thế giới trong 20 năm gần đây, bài viết này thảo luận mô hình TPACK, vai trò của nó cũng như những thành tựu đạt được từ những nghiên cứu. Với những hiểu biết từ tổng quan, bài viết đề xuất ba hướng nghiên cứu về TPACK nhằm góp phần nâng cao hiểu biết về lý luận và thực tiễn liên quan đến công tác đào tạo và phát triển chuyên môn cho giáo viên về kiến thức ứng dụng CNTT trong dạy học ngoại ngữ. Ba hướng nghiên cứu bao gồm: xác trị công cụ khảo sát TPACK, nghiên cứu TPACK của giáo viên ngoại ngữ và nghiên cứu tác động của đào tạo và tập huấn TPACK đối với dạy và học ngoại ngữ.
Từ khóa: công nghệ thông tin năng lực, đào tạo giáo viên, kiến thức, ngoại ngữ
