Description
Effective and high-quality science teaching involves complex practices that depend on teachers' professional knowledge. Researchers have investigated the nature of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) predominantly in the in-service secondary school teachers’ context. This research project aims to investigate the PCK construct through video analysis focusing on pre-service primary teachers and examining one of the PCK components: teachers’ knowledge of students’ understanding. Fifty-nine participants, attending a degree programme in Primary Education, attempted two video-based tasks and their responses were analysed qualitatively. This study points out the need for primary teachers to extend learning opportunities to notice students' scientific thinking.
