Abstract

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has been embraced by many of the recent educational reform documents as a way of describing the knowledge possessed by expert teachers. PCK included those special attributes a lecturer possessed that helped him/her guide a student to understand content in a manner that was personally meaningful. PCK includes an understanding of how particular topics, problems, or issues are organized, presented, and adapted to the diverse interests and abilities of learners, and presented for instruction. PCK was the best knowledge base of teaching. The key to distinguishing the knowledge base of teaching lies at the intersection of content and pedagogy, in the capacity of a lecturer to transform the content knowledge he or she possesses into forms that are pedagogically powerful and yet adaptive to the variations in ability and background presented by the students.
