Daftar Isi:
  • A study tomeasure Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of prospective biology teachers who joint the Professional Teacher Education Program (PPG) through consecutive approach was carried out with the involvement of prospective teachers who have completed their study in Biology. The longitudinal study was conducted for one whole academic year. Data was collected using CoRes and Pap-eRs tests, interview techniques, observation and analysis of teaching skills curriculum documents, lesson plans they made, and field notes. Research data obtained through the CoRes and Pap-eRs on topic “the transport of substance”, after the program run for 12 month was analyzed by descriptive techniques using qualitative and quantitative concurrent triangulation design. Preliminary results indicate that prospective student teachers' PCK on biology is very limited. Research finding shows their improvement since the first test conducted at the begining of the program to the second test conducted after the pedagogical workshop, thenthe third test after peer teaching and the last test after teaching practice at school. The results suggest that training and experience improve preservice teachers’ PCK
