Since the advent of the theoretical framework of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), this field has gradually become a research forefront and hotspot in China and abroad, demonstrating an evident trend of disciplinary development. In recent years, the research on TPACK has attracted increased attention with the increase in the importance of teacher competence and interest in the application of technology to education. Firstly, this study organises the theoretical basis of TPACK by explaining the concept and introducing the main models of related research. Second, it analyses the international trends in mainstream research, especially the research hotspots and cases in the field of music. Finally, this study summarises the advantages and disadvantages of relevant research in China on the basis of the current research situation in China and discusses potential development directions in the future.
