Abstract
Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is a well-known theoretical framework that has reshaped contemporary understanding of the interplay between the forms of knowledge required by expert teachers. This paper draws on recent thinking and empirical data to shift the research focus
to more closely examine the contexts in which TPACK is developed and enacted. In particular, this paper examines the way the knowledge and activities of teachers are dialogically linked to the contextual conditions that surround them by considering teachers’ knowledge, identity and practice as part of a situated, sociocultural context. Two conclusions result from this work indicating the
enactment of TPACK in a Community of Practice is not always consensual and that the reification of TPACK enactment in a Community of Practice is influenced by the power dynamics of its members.
Finally, an elaborated model for the context aspect of the TPACK framework and suggestions for future research are presented.
