Аннотация

The article aimed to investigate the perspectives of e-tutors regarding the importance of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge in an Open Distance e-Learning Institution. The article employs a quantitative survey method to allow students to articulate their impressions of how e-tutors leverage their topic expertise to impart knowledge. The study includes 350 students who are enrolled in a module. Its objective was to gain insights, using quantitative analysis, into the techniques used by e-tutors in delivering content. During the delivery of content, e-tutors provided explanations and support for different viewpoints, taking into
account students’ input on the choice, execution, and overall impact of teaching methods. The collected data were arranged and presented in tables. E-tutors recognized the use of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) to assist and enhance online student activities. Therefore, it was found that constructivism could help to incorporate the TPK framework, thereby enhancing students’ understanding of the instructional design process. However, the study discovered a lack of comprehension among e-tutors regarding the TPK concept in relation to curriculum design.
