The Pedagogic Nature of Subject Matter Knowledge.
McEwan, Hunter; Bull, Barry
American Educational Research Journal, v28 n2 p316-34 Sum 1991
The distinction between teachers' and scholars' subject matter knowledge (SMK) is investigated. Objectivist epistemology, L. Shulman's (1986, 1987) dualism, and J. Dewey's (1929, 1933, 1938, 1964, 1966) account of SMK are assessed. There is no real dualism involved in the distinction, and all knowledge is, in varying ways, pedagogic. (TJH)
