A research model for the study of science teachers’ PCK and improving teacher education

Developing pre-service teacher competencies for ICT-integration through design teams

“…Based on experiences from research on PCK (e.g. Van Dijk & Kattmann, 2007;Van Driel, De Jong & Verloop, 2002), it can be concluded that the development of TPACK needs to be fostered through real teaching experiences. Because building a strong TPACK knowledge base is a long term trajectory that goes beyond pre-service teacher education in formal settings (Fishman & Davis, 2006), it is recommended that graduates of the teacher preparation program should have the opportunity to engage in lifelong learning opportunities through an additional (in-service) program.…”

Analysis of a Moodle-based training program about the Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Evolution Theory and Natural Selection

“…The Pedagogical Knowledge Content (PCK), from its initial introduction by Shulman (Shulman, 1987) has been transformed, enriched and interpreted in several ways (Van Dijk & Kattmann, 2007;Loughran, Mulhall & Berry, 2008). These modifications make PCK "unclear" both in its boundaries and in the way of its development.…”

The Teaching Discipline doesn’t Matter? An Assessment of Preservice Teachers’ Perception of the value of Professional Experience in attaining Teacher Competencies

“…Reflecting on the manner of delivering key content ideas, key pedagogical practices for that content and the context together is the 'art' of teaching in that particular teaching area -its unique PCK and synergy (Abell, 2008;Nillson and Loughran, 2012;Wilson & Wineberg, 1988). It could thus be expected that understandings of professional experience differ across subject disciplines due to the fact that PCK differs according to the subject matter field and topic being taught (Dijk & Kathmann, 2007;You, 2011;Rossie & lisahunter, 2013).…”
