Development of Items for a Pedagogical Content Knowledge Test Based on Empirical Analysis of Pupils' Errors

“…Kind, 2009;Magnusson, Krajcik, & Borko, 1999;Park & Oliver, 2008;van Driel, Verloop, & de Vos, 1998). Illustrated here is the development of an instrument for measuring biology teachers' PCK with a special focus on one PCK component-the pupils' errors and their understanding of biology.…”

Use of the Rasch measurement model to explore the relationship between content knowledge and topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge for organic chemistry

“…In a review of pedagogical content knowledge in science education, Kind (2009) noted that possession of good CK is regarded as a pre-requisite for developing science teachers' PCK. Several researchers have carried out studies to quantify the relationship between CK and PCK in science subjects, for example Gramzow, Riese and Reinhold (2013) in physics, Tepner and Dollny (2014), Mavhunga and Rollnick (2013) and Rollnick and Mavhunga (2014) in chemistry, and Jüttner, Boone, Park and Neuhaus (2013) in biology.…”

Initial Teacher Education PCK Development - Knowledge of Learners: A beginning technology teacher’s journey

“…It is pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), as outlined by Schulman (1987) and others (De Miranda, 2008;Driel & Berry, 2012;Gess-Newsome & Lederman, 1999;GessNewsome, 1999aGessNewsome, , 1999bGrossman, 1990;Kind, 2009). Initial teacher education programmes speed the development of a teacher's PCK, though some aspects of PCK are more difficult to deal with than others and can take years to develop, and one can argue that a teacher's PCK never stops developing throughout their career.…”
