Uzzo, S. M., Ba, H., & Umer, L. (2018). Collaborative PCK in practice: Bringing together secondary, tertiary, and informal learning in a stem residency program. Pedagogical Content Knowledge in STEM: Research to Practice, 215-239.
In this chapter, the authors discuss the potential, value, and barriers to supporting PCK in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines through collaborations across learning settings, with special attention to the role of informal science learning institutions in preservice teacher preparation. Particular focus is provided on the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Math and Science Teacher Education Residency (MASTER) program for teacher preparation. MASTER is a collaborative among the New York Hall of Science, Hunter College School of Education, and the New York City Department of Education through New Visions for Public Schools.
