SSE-Tpack Model - Framework For 21st Century Teachers

A competent teacher should possess not only content knowledge (subject matter) but also pedagogical, technical, and other essential skills in order to co-op up in the fastgrowing world. Recognition of teachers’ knowledge is crucial as it influences their teaching strategies and ultimately improves educational outcomes. Many models have been proposed by different scholars: the PCK model by Schulman (1986), and the TPACK model by Kohler and Mishra, (2006). This research acknowledges the above models and proposes a new model known as the SSE-TPACK Model (Sameem & Hakmal (2023) which additionally includes soft and socio-emotional skills with the existing TPACK model and highlights the essential skills for 21st-century teachers. As competent teachers, they are required to acquire knowledge of Soft Skills and Socio Emotional Skills (SSE) along with TPACK to direct students toward better learning progress and nurture teacher’s professionalism. The integration of soft and socioemotional skills with the TPACK model presents a comprehensive and holistic approach to modern teaching as it helps teachers identify students’ mental and physical issues which leads to building a good rapport to attain better learning outcomes.
