Instability is a feature, not a bug: How teachers grow their pedagogical knowledge in an interdisciplinary, skills-centered, ever-evolving school

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We examined how teachers' knowledge evolves in the face of pedagogical change. We followed a schoolwide pedagogical initiative of skills-centered interdisciplinary teaching, led by teams of teachers. Teachers faced the challenge of limited pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), the need to forge real connections with other disciplines, and the need to teach students to seek those connections. Our results highlight the need for reconceptualizing PCK to suit ever-evolving schooling, including transfer skills and future learning knowledge.
