The Lesson Preparation Method: A Way of Investigating Pre-Service Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

Van Der Valk, Ton A. E.; Broekman, Harrie H. G. B.

European Journal of Teacher Education, v22 n1 p11-22 1999

An international team of mathematics and science educators developed a method of investigating the pedagogical content parts of preservice teachers' knowledge bases. They asked preservice teachers to prepare a lesson plan about a topic (area) as if they had to teach it, then they later interviewed them. The method produced significant, rich information about preservice teachers' knowledge base. (SM)
