Pedagogical Content Knowledge in STEM: Research to Practice
Uzzo, S. M., Graves, S. B., Shay, E., Harford, M., & Thompson, R. (2018). Pedagogical content knowledge in STEM. Switzerland: Springer International Publishing AG.
This volume represents both recent research in pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as emerging innovations in how PCK is applied in practice. The notion of “research to practice” is critical to validating how effectively PCK works within the clinic and how it can be used to improve STEM learning. As the need for more effective educational approaches in STEM grows, the importance of developing, identifying, and validating effective practices and practitioner competencies are needed. This book covers a wide range of topics in PCK in different school levels (middle school, college teacher training, teacher professional development), and different environments (museums, rural).
