Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is a field-specific pedagogical approach created by combining the "content knowledge" and "general pedagogical knowledge" bases, which was suggested by Lee Shulman in the mid-1980s and was considered sufficient in teacher training programs until then. It briefly constitutes the "teaching knowledge" knowledge base. This research aims to examine the vocational knowledge courses taught in the high school branch teacher training programs of the faculties of education in Turkey with the PCK dimension in the example of programs that train history teachers. The document review method, a qualitative research method, was used in the research. As a result of the research, it was understood that the vocational knowledge courses taught in the faculties of education in the 1983 program consisted of theoretical general pedagogy courses, as in the previous programs, the teacher training model was changed in 1997, and the courses taught were determined based on PCK. At the same time, an important place was allocated to the applied course hours. However, starting in 2006, a step back from this regulation was started, and the courses aimed at gaining PCK from the programs were reduced and these courses were replaced by general pedagogical courses as before, and the application hours of the courses were reduced. With the 2018 program change, the weight of PCK courses in the program was further reduced, while the practice hours were removed entirely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
