3.Knowledge of students' needs

4.Content mastery

A1 and 3

B2 and 3

C2, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct

D2 and 4

Correct answer: (C) 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

The present-day teacher needs use of technology in teaching-learning (2), knowledge of students' needs (3) and content mastery (4).

Use of technology in teaching (2) is the applied skill that actually reaches learners.

Knowledge of students' needs (3) lets teaching be adapted and relevant.

Content mastery (4) ensures command over the subject taught.

Mere knowledge of technology (1) without applying it in teaching adds little to classroom adjustment.

The blend of content, pedagogy and technology knowledge is captured in Mishra and Koehler's TPACK framework.
