A study evaluates whether interactive digital content designed around the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model can develop educational aids production skills and improve cognitive achievement among early childhood students. A quasi-experimental design with two groups tests the independent variable (TPACK-based interactive digital content) against dependent outcomes (educational aids production skills and cognitive achievement). An achievement test and an observation card measure learning effects, using a sample of 47 female students from Jadara University. Results confirm effectiveness and support recommendations for student training in digital course model design.

INTRODUCTION | The study aims to examine the effectiveness of interactive digital content based on the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPACK) model in developing the skills of educational aids production and enhancing cognitive achievement among early childhood students at Jadara University. The researcher relied on the quasi-experimental approach with two groups to identify the effectiveness of the independent variable teaching method (the effectiveness of interactive digital content based ontheTPACK model) on the dependent variable (educational aids production skills and cognitive achievement). This study used two instruments: an achievement test and an observation card. The study sample comprises 47 female students from Jadara University. The results showed the effectiveness of interactive digital content based on the TPACK model in developing skills for producing educational aids and cognitive achievement. Based on the results, the researcher recommends providing training courses for students on designing digital course models to develop various skills.
Keywords: digital content, TPACK, teaching aids, achievement | | --- | --- | Technical plays a significant role in providing teachers with tools and devices that facilitate information delivery to learners. The multimedia method is one of the modern education techniques, functioning as an interactive educational system designed to achieve specific goals. This method is based on a well-structured sequential organization, allowing each student to progress in the education process at his pace and according to his individual characteristics actively and positively (Al-Amoush, 2023; Lindner et al., 2021) . A learner can only comprehend an explanation within the limits of their knowledge and information; however, using media can provide learners with more apparent limits or the experience and activity being learned, primarily since verbal explanations do not always effectively support the learning process (Shenouda, 2022) . Students learn more effectively when more than one sense is used in learning. Multimedia simulates the majority of the senses in various forms, such as sound, images, animation, and written texts. Therefore, multimedia plays a significant role in developing teaching and learning, particularly educational content, which has been transformed into digital content instead of traditional one. Digital content enriches the education process by increasing experience, facilitating concept formation, and overcoming natural and geographical barriers that are increasing due to technological progress (Yaniafari et al., 2020) . This environment is also rich in communication me
