This study identifies proficiency levels in pre-service physics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and reveals how teacher education can promote transitions into higher proficiency. Teacher education plays a fundamental role in supporting pre-service teachers' PCK development. Proficiency levels are a powerful source when evaluating…

Nixon, Ryan S.; Smith, Leigh K.; Sudweeks, Richard R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Although widely touted as important, there is little evidence regarding the influence of teaching experience on elementary teachers' science subject matter knowledge (SMK). To better understand this phenomenon, we administered an assessment of science topics taught in the fifth and sixth grades to 169 preservice teachers, 231 fifth-grade teachers,…

Lee, Se Woong; Mamerow, Geoff – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Years of experience, education level, and subject matter expertise are three measures of teacher qualification that are employed widely in contemporary educational policies including tenure, salary, and hiring, despite significant questions about their effectiveness at predicting student performance. These questions reveal a critical gap in the…

Peer reviewedHoz, Ron; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990
Concept mapping was used to tap the conceptual disciplinary (science subject) knowledge and pedagogical knowledge of seven biology and six geography teachers with short or long teaching experience. Results indicate that knowledge in both areas is unsatisfactory, experience does not improve the knowledge, and teachers mastered disciplinary…

Peer reviewedClermont, Christian P.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1994
Examines similarities and differences between the experienced and novice science teachers' (n=23) pedagogical content knowledge with respect to demonstration teaching. Concludes that experienced demonstrators have a broader understanding for chemical demonstration teaching than do novices. Suggestions are made to assist novice teachers in…

Mulholland, Judith; Wallace, John – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is a much debated and studied construct. In this article, we adopt an all-embracing view of PCK to examine the development of one elementary science teacher's knowledge over a 10-year period. We portray this teacher's knowledge at three critical points in her career--as a student teacher, beginning teacher, and…
