Abstract
This study explored secondary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching [MKT]; in particular, it focused on teachers' knowledge of functions. In order to measure teachers' MKT, we developed items according to Ball, Thames & Phelps (2008)'s domains and conducted to 34 secondary mathematics teachers in 5 high schools in Seoul. The findings from the data analysis suggested as follows: a) overall, the teachers scored average 67.4 out of 100, 87.43 in Common Content Knowledge[CCK], and the average score of Specialized Content Knowledge [SCK] was the lowest; b) correlations among SCK, KCS, and KCT were statistically significant; and c) there was no sign of statistical significance between CCK and the rest.
