| Gaia: | Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) encompasses carefully selected analogies, examples, explanations and demonstrations used by a teacher to make a topic comprehensible to students. It includes an understanding of what makes the big ideas difficult to grasp, along with an awareness of common misconceptions. PCK is developed by teachers through practitioner experience, and an extensive body of work has enabled articulation, documentation and dissemination of PCK at the secondary level. However, PCK has received less attention at the tertiary level. New academic staff in Australia are highly trained in their disciplines but typically lack experience teaching. This project will develop a framework for the transfer of PCK from excellent teachers to junior staff and will implement activities to boost development of PCK by new staff. Accelerating the acquisition of PCK will improve teaching and therefore the learning outcomes of students. The project is based in chemistry, however the outcomes are transferrable to other disciplines. |
