This study explores the implementation of the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical,
and Content Knowledge) framework at SMK YP 17-1 Malang, focusing on the
integration of technology in English language teaching. The primary objective is to
understand how effectively technology can be integrated with pedagogy and content
in the context of vocational education and to evaluate its impact on teaching
practices and student learning outcomes. The literature review provides a
comprehensive discussion on the definition and main components of the TPACK
framework, highlighting its relevance in vocational education. It also includes an
examination of previous studies that have demonstrated how TPACK can enhance
learning effectiveness through the integration of technology, pedagogy, and content.
The research methodology employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing
questionnaires to gather data from teachers regarding their perspectives on the
implementation of TPACK. The data analysis techniques used in this study are
explained to evaluate the effectiveness of TPACK integration. The findings reveal a
high level of technology integration at SMK YP 17-1 Malang, with average scores
ranging from 3.38 to 3.56 on a scale of 4. This indicates that the school has

of Mishra and Koehler (2006) and Harris et al. (2009).
Additionally, the study underscores the importance of continuous professional
development for teachers and the relevance of the TPACK framework in preparing
students to meet industry demands. The evaluation highlights the need for ongoing
professional development, more comprehensive evaluations, increased
collaboration with industry and educational technology providers, and the
