Abstract

With the advancing integration of information technology in education, a key challenge lies in deeply embedding technological tools within subject-specific instruction. Grounded in the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) framework, this study explores innovative instructional design for the abstract and challenging function module in junior high school mathematics. The research first diagnoses the current status of non-intellectual factors affecting students’ learning of functions and assesses teachers’ TPACK proficiency. On this basis, a TPACK-based instructional design framework for junior high school functions is constructed. A teaching experiment was conducted, comparing post-test results between an experimental class (TPACK-based instruction) and a control class (traditional instruction). The findings indicate that the TPACK-based instructional design effectively enhances students’ academic performance in functions. The improvement is particularly pronounced among students with weaker academic foundations, highlighting the significant potential of technology-enabled instruction in providing “targeted support for the less proficient.”
