PK & PCK Discussion Session Facilitated by Dr Zahari Hamidon
Pedagogical Knowledge • “art”of teaching = processes (design, craft) • “science” of teaching = practices (deliver, strategize) • Generic form of overall educational purposes, values and aims (applies) students learning, classroom management, lesson plan development & implementation and student evaluation • A teacher with deep PK (understand) how students construct knowledge and acquire skill, develop habits of mind and positive dispositions towards learning. • PK = understanding of cognitive, social and developmental theories of learning and how they apply to students in the classroom.
Pedagical Content Knowledge • PCK = core business of teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment and reporting. • Importance of forging (construct) links and connection between different ideas, students’ prior knowledge, alternative teaching strategies and flexibility in exploring altenative ways of looking at the same idea or problems. • Schulman (1986) = transformation of subject matter into teaching • TRANSFORMATION occurs as the teacher interprets the subject matter, find multiple ways to represent it, and adapts and tailors the instructional materials to alternative conceptions and students prior knowledge.
