“…According to Al‐Madani and Allaafiajiy () study, the Saudi government recognizes that the quality of its people should be first advanced to sustain its economical growth.

Teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) involves an awareness of instructional approaches, methods, and knowledge of building on technology to enhance students’ learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the TPACK of teachers in Saudi Arabia and USA, and then describe the factors affecting teachers’ TPACK through an analysis of covariance that incorporates age, teaching experience, and education level as covariates, and the seven levels of TPACK as dependent variables. Differences found between teachers in the US and Saudi Arabia in terms of TPK, and TPCK. The analysis of variance indicated that teachers’ from the US and Saudi Arabia differ in their perceived TPACK when controlled by years of teaching experience, and educational levels. Teachers in both the US and Saudi Arabia had higher rating of their knowledge in content and pedagogy than technology knowledge. Teachers in Saudi Arabia, however, had higher TK, TCK, TPK and TPCK than teachers in the US.

“…A further review of extant studies posits that ICT-based professional development enables teachers to effectively use ICT in their classroom practices, and supports their classroom pedagogical needs in different contexts, based on their differences in learning and interactions with learners (Al-Madani & Allafiajiy, 2014). In a study conducted by Ajani (2021Ajani ( , 2022, findings revealed that despite teachers' different ways of learning; the TPACK allows teachers to learn meaningfully and interact with others, using various learning resources; providing support through monitoring and feedback to improve their classroom pedagogy (González-Sanmamed, Sangrà, & Muñoz-Carril, 2017).…”

Education is critical to the development of any country. The quality of education depends on the quality of teachers in the education system. Studies affirm that the initial teacher education that teachers enter the teaching profession with, is not enough to sustain the education system. Hence, there is a need for continuing life-long learning for teachers to keep abreast of their profession. Seemingly, teachers play a significant role in the integration of ICT into teaching and learning. Therefore, adequate and regular professional development of teachers is paramount to the use of learning technologies in classrooms. This study employed a systematic review of the literature to explore the impact of teachers' exposure to ICT through professional development activities on teaching and learning success. The TPACK framework was adopted as an underpinning lens to understand the phenomenon. The study affirms that the professional development of teachers should be situated within ICT pedagogical and content-related content to capacitate teachers' ICT knowledge and skills. Hence, teachers' ICT knowledge enhances classroom instructional delivery, using various learning technologies in teaching and learning. The study recommends adequate and regular capacity building for teachers with ICT training, while teachers should be supported with ICT gadgets and resources. Follow-up should be designed to ensure teachers’ adoption and use of ICT for teaching and learning in South African schools, to familiarise their learners with various learning technologies, and to enhance their academic performances.

“…Taking the opinions of a random sample of academic staff in Saudi Arabia institutes for this survey, we suggest to more develop the vision to the effectiveness utilizing of ICT resources and ICT capabilities because of a huge developing area of future technology and the uses in all fields. We mentioned earlier that there exists a gap in using ICT in classroom and there is a shortage in training to academic staff (Ageel, 2011;Al Mulhim, E., 2014;Al-Madani & Allaafiajiy, 2014). Others suggest that Saudi Arabian universities must improve their ICT infrastructure, including the provision of suitable connection networks and formal training of staff in utilizing ICT resources (Alturise et al, 2016).…”
