Describe differences between TPACK, SAMR and SECTIONS
The Sections section focuses more on the steps that teachers need to consider when creating multimedia technology using media teaching models, how to create a media technology that is easy to use and can increase interaction between students and teachers while ensuring the privacy and security of the users.
The first thing to consider is to understand who your students are and whether they can use the technology, as this is a crucial selection criterion, and while the use of virtual technology can provide better learning, if students do not have the tools to use it, a good internet connection or access to it, then using the media model will not be beneficial. The second point relates to the use of virtual technology by teachers and students. The second point is about the ease of use of the model for teachers and students. If it is too complicated to use and does not provide easy access, it will not benefit teachers and students. The third point is about the time and cost of doing the work, how much time is spent on design, delivery, etc. The cost of developing the technology may include the purchase of some electronic equipment, computers and headphones. The fourth point is about the characteristics of the media because when it comes to teaching, it is probably more about the characteristics of the teaching, how it can be taught so that the students receive the knowledge better. The characteristics of the media are also fundamental because how the teaching is done with the media technology can also affect the quality of the teaching. The fifth point is the interactivity of the teacher and students when teaching through the use of media technology. Because low interactivity is a vast difference between different media, very multimedia technology lacks interactivity between teachers and students, the quality and level of teaching will be relatively low. However, suppose media technology is used while increasing the interactivity between teachers and students in using this technology. In that case, it can be more effective in improving the quality of teaching of teachers and the quality of learning of students because interactivity not only provides the opportunity between teachers and students interaction but also allows students to interact with other students in the learning process and whether it allows more people to be involved in teaching and learning. The last part to consider is the security and privacy of the students and teachers when using the media technology and whether the students’ privacy can be protected.
When creating media tools for teaching and learning, teachers are more likely to use the SECTIONS model to consider who their content is suitable for, and whether interactivity and ease of use will be less costly and more effective for students than other media technologies, and whether there will be room for interaction between teachers and students.
SAMR is a model that focuses more on the way students organize their knowledge. We can redefine and modify the content provided by the teacher when we are learning through our redefinition and increased understanding of knowledge, thus complementing and completing. Better understanding the content of the teacher’s knowledge can improve the quality of teaching and learning. By using the SAMR model, students will understand more intuitively what the teacher has taught them. For example, we focused on the SAMR model last week and created our sketchnoting for the class through the video. I can then add more practical knowledge to my sketchnoting at the end of the lesson to improve my understanding.
In what ways can students improve their teaching through the SMAR model? The redefinition and reorganization of knowledge can be more intuitive and effective in improving the quality of teaching and learning for students instead of rote learning. On the other hand, the teacher can also assess the students’ acceptance of knowledge through their sketchnoting during the teaching process.
TPACK focuses on technology for teaching and learning. TPACK is a framework to help teachers consider how their areas of knowledge can be more effectively taught to and received by their students. Combining what the teacher knows about teaching and how media technology can improve student learning, the first three areas to consider are content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge. The CK section focuses on the understanding and expertise of the subject area the teacher is teaching, while the PK includes teaching and assessment methods.
Comparing the three models, I think the most significant difference is that they are different for different areas of expertise and are more like a step-by-step process. The first is SECTIONS, a model that teachers need to use when producing content and media to consider the audience, ease of use, interactivity, cost and ultimately the privacy and security of the teacher and students in the process of use. The final mod will be based on the SMAR model. In the end, students can reorganize and define their knowledge according to the SMAR model to deepen their impressions. So I think these three mods are essential to improving teaching quality and learning in a whole teaching model.TPACK focuses on technology for teaching and learning.

Hi Jialin,
Thank you for sharing. I think your analysis of these three models makes me understand clearly the relationship between them. I have also written an article about the relationship between these three models. However, what is different from my understanding is that how will teachers and students choose among the three models.
I think what you have summed up will be helpful to me. In my EDCI339 course this semester, we were asked to create our own multimedia learning course. I think I can use your views to help me better analyze how I need to structure my courses as a professor.
