Fostering Pedagogical Innovation Through the Effective Choice of Mediatization Tools Based on TPACK Model and Technology Integration Frameworks

Abstract

The need for innovation in the design and mediatization practices of online learning systems has been questioned during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the one hand, in the context of crisis learning environments, teachers projected face-to-face teaching methods onto distance learning without considering the potential of technology. However, technology integration is a process that requires thorough planning and a methodical approach guided by pedagogical principles and technology integration frameworks. On the other hand, the evolution of mediatization practices has highlighted the challenges of mediatization, leading to a call for justification of the choice of mediatization tools. This chapter outlines a theoretical framework for technology integration along with recommendations for future research on mediatization. The essence of this work is to propose a classification of mediatization tools, which the authors intend to utilize in upcoming research to design a typology that guides the selection of those tools.
