Pedagogical Content Knowledge

PCK was first introduced by Lee Shulman in 1986 to describe the combination of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge that allows teachers to break down subjects they teach and represent them effectively so that students understand. PCK relates to both a teacher's formal education and practical experiences, and encompasses their understanding of how to effectively teach specific content to diverse groups of students based on factors like students' prior knowledge and common misconceptions. PCK has been shown to improve teaching effectiveness and enhance student learning.
