Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) was first introduced by Shulman in the 80’s. It is defined as the integration or amalgamation of pedagogy and content which basically covers the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of teaching. PCK was considered as the missing paradigm in the study of teaching.

Lee Shulman (1986) who proposed the concept of PCK, describes it as teachers’ understanding of “the most useful forms of representation of the most powerful analogies, illustrations, examples, explanations, and demonstrations – in a word, the ways...

In this theoretical paper, I review the history of research in educational psychology that inspired Shulman’s notion of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and I critically examine interpretations of PCK reflected in prominent theoretical frameworks for …

Of the seven categories proposed by Shulman (1986) “subject matter [and pedagogical knowledge] for teaching” (pp. 9, 14), or pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), has captured the most attention from educational researchers for more than 30 years.

Pedagogical content knowledge, or PCK, as it is often called, is a construct coined by Lee Shulman (1938– ) in the mid-1980s to emphasize the importance of studying teacher professional knowledge, and teacher knowledge of subject matter in particular.

Aug 1, 2013 · Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) was introduced by Shulman in 1986 and refers to the knowledge teachers use to translate particular subject matter to students, taking into account possible (mis)conceptions. PCK was – and still is – very influential in research on teaching and teacher education, mainly within the natural sciences.

More than 25 years ago, Lee Shulman introduced the concept of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) to describe the knowledge that teachers use to transform particular subject matter for student learning , taking into account possible (mis) conceptions and learning difficulties.

May 18, 2023 · A primary goal of this paper is to refresh our collective memories of the origins of and development of PCK as a research domain, with a particular focus on what may have prompted scholars such as Shulman to propose the construct of PCK in 1986. What were the questions in the field at that time to which Shulman believed that PCK was the answer?

LEE S. SHULMAN and JUDITH H. SHULMAN We explore our efforts to create a conceptual framework to describe and analyse the challenges around preparing teachers to create, sustain, and educate in a 'community of learners'. In particular, we offer a new frame for conceptualizing teacher learning and development within communities and contexts.

The concept of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) was developed by Lee Shulman in the mid-1980s. He argued that, on top of subject knowledge and general pedagogical skills, teachers must know how to teach topics in ways that learners can understand.
