Punya Mishra

Punya Mishra is a professor at Arizona State University whose research focuses on educational technology, creativity and teacher education. With Matthew J. Koehler he codeveloped the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, a model of the kinds of knowledge teachers need to integrate technology effectively into classroom practice, building on earlier theories of teacher knowledge by adding technological understanding to pedagogical and subject-matter expertise. His other major areas of scholarship are creativity and learning, and design-based approaches to teacher learning and educational innovation, and more recently the implications of generative artificial intelligence for teaching. He earned a Ph.D. in educational psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998, taught at Michigan State University from 1998 to 2016, and has held posts at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College since 2016. He is a fellow of the American Educational Research Association.
