What is knowledge of content and pedagogy?
Keeping this in consideration, what is content knowledge?
Content knowledge generally refers to the facts, concepts, theories, and principles that are taught and learned in specific academic courses, rather than to related skills—such as reading, writing, or researching—that students also learn in school.
Moreover, why is pedagogical content knowledge important?
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) plays an important role in classroom instructions. The aim of this study is to explore the PCK of mathematics teachers in teaching fractions. Students are facing difficulties in the conceptual understanding of fractions due to teachers' ignorant and lack of PCK in teaching fractions.
Underlying this complexity, however, are three key components of teacher knowledge: understanding of content, understanding of teaching, and understanding of technology.
