As the importance of technology increases, so too does its use in various areas. In education, technology is often used. However, due to teachers' lack of knowledge about technology, they often remain at the level of simple utilization, without applying it to learning. Thus, there is a growing need for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), which enables teachers to have knowledge about technology and use it appropriately given the content. Although TPACK studies are underway in many subjects, they suffer from the limited functionality of the included technology. To solve this problem, in this study, the range of technology in TPACK was extended to programming, and a TPACK-P model was developed to teach this expanded TPACK to pre-service teachers. To verify the effectiveness of this model, the TPACK-P training program developed during the 15th classes was applied to 19 pre-service teachers. We used Park and Kang (2014) as a tool to measure these teachers' TPACK before and after treatment to observe any changes. The results showed that the TPACK-P education program showed statistically significant improvement in all areas except Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK). Compared with the ICT-based TPACK training program, which was administered to a control group, the TPACK-P training program proved to be more effective in the development of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge(TPK) and TPACK among pre-service teachers.

테크놀로지의 발전에 따라 교육에서도 테크놀로지를 도입하기 위한 움직임이 활발하게 진행되었다. 교육에서는 테크놀로지를 학생들이 학습 과정에서 겪는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 목적으로 활용하였다. 하지만, 교사들의 테크놀로지에 대한 전문성 부족으로 인하여, 교사들은 수업에 테크놀로지를 도입하는데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 테크놀로지를 기반으로 한 교사의 수업 전문성 발달을 위하여 테크놀로지 교수 내용 지식(TPACK)이 도입되었고, 교사의 TPACK 향상을 위한 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 최근에는 테크놀로지가 가진 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 새로운 테크놀로지 도구로써 프로그래밍이 주목받고 있다. 따라서 선행 연구에서는 프로그래밍을 기반으로 TPACK 교육 프로그램을 향상시키기 위한 교육 프로그램이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 김성원과 이영준(2017)에서 개발한 TPACK 교육 프로그램의 효과를 검색하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 교사에게 적합한 40차시의 TPACK-P 교육 프로그램을 개발하였고, 연구를 위하여 모집한 17명의 교사를 대상으로 교육 프로그램을 적용하였다. 또한, 교사의 TPACK 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 박기철과 강성주(2014)의 연구에서 개발한 검사 도구를 교육 프로그램 투입 전, 후에 실시하였다. 적용 결과, TPACK-P 교육프로그램을 통하여 교사의 TPACK은 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 나타났다. 세부 영역에서는 Pedagogical Knowledge(PK), Technological Knowledge(TK), Technological Content Knowledge(TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge(TPK), Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge(TPACK)에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 하지만, Content Knowledge(CK)와 Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK)에서는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 TPACK-P 교육 프로그램이 모든 영역은 아니지만, 테크놀로지와 관련된 지식과 교사의 TPACK 발달에 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 TPACK-P 교육 프로그램을 통한 교사의 TPACK 변화를 검사 도구를 통하여 측정하였다. 후속 연구에서는 TPACK-P 교육 프로그램에 참여한 교사의 수업 전문성의 변화와 학교 현장에서 수업의 변화, 이에 대한 학생들의 반응을 측정하는 연구가 필요하다.

A case study was conducted to investigate the understandings of the subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge held by 63 elementary preservice teachers in dealing with the division by a fraction. The study results showed that, in terms of the subject matter knowledge, the preservice teachers did not have a conceptual understanding of the division by a fraction and, in terms of the pedagogical content knowledge, they depended heavily on algorithms without a conceptual understanding of the meaning of the division by a fraction.

Environmental education is usually taught across the curriculum in most of the countries. This teaching approach has been a challenge for teachers to implement it especially in the Malaysian curriculum context. Thus, science teachers require effectual Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Environmental Education (PCK-EE). The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of teaching option and teaching experience on science teachers' PCK-EE. Five components of PCK-EE were investigated in this study, which were: a) knowledge of curriculum, b) knowledge of content, c) knowledge of student, d) knowledge of teaching strategies, and e) knowledge of evaluation. 347 secondary science teachers from the state of Selangor have participated in this survey study. The questionnaire used had 60 items. The findings revealed teaching option has a significant influence on science teachers' knowledge of content (p=0.000); knowledge of student (p=0.000) and knowledge of teaching strategies (p=0.016). In the case of teaching experience, it was found that there is a low correlation on knowledge of content (r=0.174) and knowledge of evaluation (r=0.170) only. Implication of this study leads to the suggestion in enhancing teachers' service training to improve their PCK-EE and subsequently their ability in teaching environmental education across curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to explore domains and elements of pedagogical content knowledge(PCK) for effective teaching in secondary schools. The value of PCK lies essentially in its relation with specific topics. Teachers' PCK becomes through making explicit the nature of their pedagogical reasoning and the associated decision making within the context of teaching content. This study propose the process of PCK research and development. The theoretical definition of PCK, basic directions of PCK development were discussed. This research provides teachers with an opportunity to think about what is important in the teaching of a topic and why and to consider possibilities for future development.

In this study, the Pedagogical Content Knowledge for childhood's music education and Teacher's Efficacy empirically examined the relationship between teachers' attitudes through structural equation model analysis. Data were collected for 132 infant teachers working for early childhood educational institutions for this study. Structural equation model analysis was performed using SPSS and AMOS. In this research, conformity to the research model was appropriate. Pedagogical content knowledge for childhood's music education clearly confirmed the relationship between the teacher's efficacy, the attitude variables of the teacher. The Pedagogical Content Knowledge for childhood's music education proved to have a meaningful influence on the attitude of the teacher for music education. The Pedagogical Content Knowledge for childhood's music education proved to have a meaningful influence on Teacher's Efficacy for music education. The Pedagogical Content Knowledge for childhood's music education has been found to influence the attitude of the teacher indirectly with the intermediation of Teacher's Efficacy. The effect of the parameter was the effect of the partial parameters. The results of this study can be used as basic material important for strengthening the expertise of young children's teachers for music development of young children. In particular, it was confirmed that the knowledge variable of the content of the music professor of an infant teacher is a very important variable in early childhood music education.

This research investigates how pre-service music teachers demonstrated pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and self-efficacy during a 16-week Music Education Course. 37 pre-service music teachers underwent peer mentoring, and prepared teaching guides and class teaching demonstrations. At the end of the course, the 37 participants' teacher self-efficacy and PCK components (namely pedagogical knowledge, representational knowledge, subject matter knowledge, assessment knowledge, student characteristics knowledge, curriculum knowledge, and context and social knowledge) were assessed. Data on their self-efficacy and PCK were gathered through a group interview and their self-reflection journals, and analyzed as phenomenological experience research. Analyses of the data show that pre-service music teachers acquired diverse knowledge. It also showed that peer mentoring enhanced the pre-service music teachers' self-efficacy, enabling them to prepare teaching guides and confidently demonstrate classes. Thus, diverse opportunities in research and practical class demonstrations contributed to pre-service music teachers' PCK and self-efficacy.

As a follow-up study to identify references for threshold concepts in science, 20 high school chemistry teachers were interviewed. Seven concepts were identified as threshold concepts. The data revealed that teachers overcome the thresholds while they are teaching as well as learning during their school years. This explains that the mastery experience of threshold concepts involve not only the process of creating subject matter knowledge of a learner but also the reflection on or preparation for teaching. Hence, the current study proposes that a strong relationship exists between the mastery experience of threshold concepts and the development of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). In this regard, findings from this study will provide valuable information to understand the nature of threshold concepts and suggests the value of mastery experience of threshold concepts in terms of PCK development.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the pedagogical content knowledge in science teaching of pre-service early childhood teachers and their attitude toward science and science teaching efficacy belief. A total of 294 pre-service early childhood teachers responded to a questionnaire that examined their pedagogical content knowledge in science teaching, attitude toward science, and science teaching efficacy belief. The results of this study were as follows: First, teachers had average pedagogical content knowledge in science teaching. The groups of 3rd and 4th grades were significantly higher than the 2nd grade group. Second, the teachers' recognition was below average in attitude toward science and science teaching efficacy belief. The groups of 3rd and 4th grades were significantly higher than the 2nd grade group. Third, a meaningful statistical relationship was found between the pedagogical content knowledge in science teaching of pre-service early childhood teachers and their attitude toward science and science teaching efficacy belief. As the score of pre-service early childhood teachers in pedagogical content knowledge in science teaching became higher, the score in attitude toward science and science teaching efficacy belief became higher.
