What is TCPK professors Training Model

Handbook of Research on Mobility and Computing: Evolving Technologies and Ubiquitous Impacts
Is an approach for professors’ engagement in the use of technology in education (T); thinking about the intersections existing among: the Content to teach (C), the pedagogy involved to reach intended learning (P). The K is related to the knowledge that teacher has to have in order to integrate the other three elements as well on those elements themselves to get the most of educational practices based on technology. The training is conceived on “hands on” basis relying on active learning as the fundamentals of more effective integration of professors to educational technology innovations

Abstract
Many factors converge when attempting to define the most adequate mobile learning model to be applied in a face-to-face university environment. As far as innovation related processes go, the implementation of mobile learning, implies defining a road map on the basis of strategic planning. It is also important to apply an action research approach in the implementation process of the model. In analyzing in depth this innovative mobile learning process, there are key factors to consider. First, there are factors related to the technology necessary for the implementation of the model—both hard and soft requirements. Second, there are cultural issues related to the use of non-native internet professors of innovative technologies. Finally, there are challenges related to defining, exactly, those educational strategies to be handled through mobile devices. This chapter focuses on the critical factors involved in integrating mobile learning into a hybrid educational model at a Mexican university.
