Researching PCK in International Contexts: Instruments and Research Approach to study the Impact of Engage Materials on Chemistry Teachers in different Countries

Abstract

The research we discuss here is on the impact of these materials on the PCK of chemistry teachers in five different countries. The research aims to study patterns in teachers’ PCK and to investigate whether these patterns are shared internationally. Specific methodological questions to be addressed in the symposium are: 1) Can the intended PCK data collection instruments be applied in different cultures? 2) How can the PCK research process be organized within an international team?
