Abstract

Pedagogical content knowledge has become a framework for exploring what teachers need to know or to develop for effective teaching. Physics teachers’ PCK includes five components. In this chapter, the self-made “Questionnaire of Physics Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge” was used. The results indicated that the physics teachers’ level of PCK is on the intermediate and many factors help physics teachers to develop their PCK. In order to develop PCK, physics teachers should understand the nature of physics, general pedagogy knowledge, and the context knowledge (students, schools and societies) in which they are teaching.
