Sickel, Aaron J.; Friedrichsen, Patricia – Research in Science Education, 2018
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has become a useful construct to examine science teacher learning. Yet, researchers conceptualize PCK development in different ways. The purpose of this longitudinal study was to use three analytic lenses to understand the development of three beginning biology teachers' PCK for teaching natural selection…

Schachter, Rachel E. – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2017
The knowledge that teachers hold about children's learning is important to teachers' practice. Few studies have examined how early childhood teachers use such knowledge during moment-to-moment instruction for language and literacy learning. This study employed a phenomenological approach to understand the knowledge that eight early childhood…

McGalliard, William A.; Wilson, P. Holt – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2017
This mixed methods study investigated undergraduate elementary grades pre-service teachers' (PSTs) mathematical reasoning. In the context of combinatorics, we examined two aspects of mathematical reasoning, namely, the processes of enumerating and generalizing, and sought to understand the relationship between them through analyses of 150 PSTs'…

Wetzel, Melissa Mosley; Hoffman, James V.; Roach, Audra K.; Russell, Katie – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2018
This longitudinal study explores how one university's practice-based teacher preparation program prepared literacy teachers to develop practical knowledge for teaching and how that knowledge was tested and adapted in the first years of teaching. To understand change, we identified and analyzed points of tension, challenge, or dissonance in the…

Hatisaru, Vesife; Erbas, Ayhan Kursat – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential interrelationships between teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) the function concept and their students' learning outcomes of this concept. Data were collected from two teachers teaching in a vocational high school and their students through a function concept test for teachers…

Sibanda, Doras – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2018
The purpose of this study was to explore whether chemistry lesson sequences can indicate the level of teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). The sequencing of lessons for teaching chemical bonding is taken as the case for this study. The correct sequencing of concepts in teaching chemical bonding is key to learners' conceptual…

Craig, Cheryl J.; You, JeongAe; Oh, Suhak – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2017
Using the analytical tools of broadening, burrowing and storying and restorying, this narrative inquiry examines a middle school teachers' knowledge of her pedagogical practices through the strand of pearls' metaphor that she employs to explain her teaching to herself, a beginning teacher whom she mentors and ourselves as researchers. Throughout…

Estaji, Masoomeh; Dezfoolian, Shabnam – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
Teacher reflection is a salient activity which can assist teachers in getting a critical view about their effective teaching (Loughran, 2010). Among various factors that influence the teachers' reflection, teacher's Pedagogical Knowledge Base (PKB) can be considered of great significance. The current study sought to investigate the relationship…

Diezmann, Carmel M.; Watters, James J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2015
One method of addressing the shortage of science and mathematics teachers is to train scientists and other science-related professionals to become teachers. Advocates argue that as discipline experts these career changers can relate the subject matter knowledge to various contexts and applications in teaching. In this paper, through interviews and…

Tigelaar, Dineke; Sins, Patrick; van Driel, Jan – Research Papers in Education, 2017
This study investigates the knowledge that experienced teachers draw on when fostering students' reflections. Reflective skills are crucial for advancing students' learning. In order to promote students' reflection productively, extensive support and scaffolding from teachers is indispensible. However, teachers are in need of more guidance in this…

Nixon, Ryan S.; Hill, Kathleen M.; Luft, Julie A. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2017
Although studies repeatedly show both the importance of teachers' science subject matter knowledge (SMK) and the fact that teachers have limited SMK, there are few opportunities for teachers to formally enhance their understanding of science after entering the classroom. Therefore, there is significant need for teachers to develop their SMK…
