Given below are two statements:

Statement I: TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework has been developed by Mishra and Kochler in 2006.

Statement II: TPACK framework comprises of total six components.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The correct option is: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Let us analyze each statement to understand why this option is correct:

Statement I: TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework has been developed by Mishra and Koehler in 2006.
This statement is correct. The TPACK framework, which describes the kinds of knowledge required by teachers for successful technology integration in their teaching, was formally introduced and conceptualized by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler in their seminal 2006 paper titled "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A Framework for Teacher Knowledge" published in the Teachers College Record.

Statement II: TPACK framework comprises of total six components.
This statement is incorrect. The TPACK framework actually comprises seven components (three primary forms of knowledge and four intersections formed by their overlaps):
1. Technological Knowledge (TK)
2. Pedagogical Knowledge (PK)
3. Content Knowledge (CK)
4. Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK)
5. Technological Content Knowledge (TCK)
6. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)
7. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
Since there are seven components in total, the claim that it comprises six components is false.
