Abstract

This
study explored the nature of the integration of the three components of
pedagogical content knowledge (PCK): 1) Knowledge of the
Chemistry Curriculum, 2) Knowledge of the
Instructional Strategies and Representations, 3) Knowledge of the Assessment. This study was conducted in the context of
the teaching graphs about solubility,
and change of states topics of eight
prospective chemistry teachers who were attending to chemistry teacher training
program of Faculty of Education.  The
study was designed as a case study and data were collected by means of lesson
plans and it was performed with 8 prospective chemistry teachers. Five
prospective teachers were asked to prepare a lesson plan concerning solubility topic and others prepared a lesson plan concerning the change of
states topic.

Keywords

Pedagogic content knowledge , graphs , solutions , solubility , and change of states
