Challenges Faced by B.Ed. (Hons.) Elementary Prospective Teachers for TPACK Implementation in Practicing Teaching During COVID - 19

Abstract

    This study aims to explain the challenges faced by B.Ed. (Hons.) elementary prospective teachers for TPACK implementation in practicing teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses a phenomenological qualitative research approach. Twenty B.Ed.(Hons.) elementary 8th semester prospective teachers from (IER), University of Punjab were purposively selected as samples. The researcher used Semi-structured interview protocols for the collection of data. Participants were mocked interview to ensure the validity of interview protocols. The data is analyzed by thematic analysis. The study concluded many challenges i.e. selection of technology aligned with goals of the lesson to be taught,execution of the technology integrated lesson plan, intermittent supply of internet, poor Wi-Fi speed,fluctuations in electric power supply, lack of skills in using digital devices and digital apps, uploading and downloading of materials in GCR, lack of students' engagement, assessment and evaluation while implementing TPACK. The study recommends that prospective teachers may be trained to implement technology integrated lessons and use Digital Devices and the latest digital Apps for implementing TPACK in practicing teaching.
