Abstract

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is the knowledge teachers use to teach a specific subject to a specific audience. The importance of PCK to quality teaching is widely recognized. However, an overview of research about geography teachers’ PCK is missing. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic review. We analyzed 43 empirical studies, but only 9 used PCK as a framework. Most studies addressed instructional strategies or teaching orientations. The studies were too diverse to draw conclusions on geography teachers’ PCK in general. But portraits of 16 geography teachers emphasized the necessity of geographical knowledge and teaching experience for PCK-quality.

摘要

教学内容知识 (PCK) 是教师用来向特定受众教授特定主题的知识。PCK 对优质教学的重要性已得到广泛认可。然而，缺少关于地理教师 PCK 研究的概述。为了填补这一空白，我们进行了系统审查。我们分析了 43 项实证研究，但只有 9 项使用 PCK 作为框架。大多数研究涉及教学策略或教学方向。这些研究过于多样化，无法得出关于地理教师 PCK 的总体结论。但 16 位地理教师的画像强调了地理知识和教学经验对于 PCK 质量的必要性。
