The aim of this study was to identify how perceived knowledge about technology…

Errors are a major component of the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) needed for teaching mathematics. In this study, 25 prospective teachers (PTs) in high schools were invited to solve a trigonometric task that had been assigned to high-school students and, subsequently, to relate to an authentic solution containing mathematical errors, which…

It was aimed to examine pre-service teachers' developing understandings of doing statistics within a lesson study. It was focused on their understandings (i.e., content knowledge) of doing statistics as well as how they transform their understandings (i.e., content knowledge) into teaching practices (i.e., knowledge of student & knowledge of…

Currently, a growing number of learning institutions at all educational levels are including problem-based learning (PBL) in their curricula. PBL scenarios often utilise technology and socio-scientific Issues (SSI), which enables the simultaneous learning of content and creative thinking and working skills needed in generating new knowledge for…

The study aimed to investigate pre-service early childhood teachers' (PSTs) collective pedagogical content knowledge (cPCK) and personal pedagogical content knowledge (pPCK) on the knowledge used in scientific process (SP) through the content representation (CoRe) design, interview, and knowledge used in scientific process (KSP) forms.
