Exploring the Relationship between Subject Knowledge and Pedagogic Content Knowledge in Primary Teachers' Learning about Forces.
Parker, J.; Heywood, D.
International Journal of Science Education, v22 n1 p89-111 Jan 2000
Explores the tension between subject knowledge and pedagogic content knowledge in elementary teacher education by documenting students' and inservice teachers' learning about forces in the context of floating and sinking. Describes significant features of the learning process and examines subject-specific aspects of learning by demonstrating how learners construct links between tacit knowledge and abstract scientific notions. (Contains 34 references.) (Author/WRM)
