Developing valid and reliable instruments to assess common content knowledge (CCK) is a prerequisite for determining and improving the content knowledge of preservice teachers (PSTs) and teachers. We report on the development and psychometric analysis of an instrument for assessing PSTs' gymnastics CCK for secondary physical education teaching…

Tretter, Thomas R.; Brown, Sherri L.; Bush, William S.; Saderholm, Jon C.; Holmes, Vicki-Lynn – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2013
Science teachers' content knowledge is an important influence on student learning, highlighting an ongoing need for programs, and assessments of those programs, designed to support teacher learning of science. Valid and reliable assessments of teacher science knowledge are needed for direct measurement of this crucial variable. This paper…

The authors of this volume's stimulus papers have taken on the challenge of developing measures of teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). This task involves multiple decisions and considerations, including: (1) How does one specify the body of knowledge being assessed? What warrants are offered for those choices?; (2) How does one…
