Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed a method to measure and promote the acquisition of PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge), which is teachers' professional knowledge that combines subject content knowledge such as mathematics and science with pedagogical knowledge regarding effective teaching methods. In particular, we developed an online tool to measure the PCK utilization through the use of actual classroom videos and by asking participants to watch and comment on the videos. Furthermore, we conducted a survey of in-service and pre-service teachers using this tool. Detailed results are still being analyzed, but it is anticipated that these data will provide insight into factors related to PCK and experiences that promote PCK acquisition.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では，本邦では十分進展してこなったPCKを定量的に把握する方法を開発し，教師の専門性の内実を明らかにしようとしている。特に，本研究では，PCKに関連する要因の検討やPCKを高める学習経験も検討している。これらのことから，教師の専門性を向上させる教員研修や教員養成課程のあり方に対しても示唆を与えると期待される。
