ABSTRACT

This study was conducted with the awareness that research on reading pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) needs to be activated from the perspective of teacher education in order to enhance elementary school teachers’ expertise in reading instruction. On this basis, the study analyzed what types of reading PCK elementary school teachers require, focusing on both its content and modes of expression. Specifically, a qualitative study was carried out that combined a survey of experienced teachers regarding their needs for reading PCK with a content analysis of reconstructed teacher guides and teacher discussion processes. The results revealed that elementary teachers expressed strong needs for knowledge of instructional strategies, learners, and curriculum, while their demand for assessment knowledge was relatively low. In addition, regarding the modes of expressing reading PCK, teachers preferred teacher-friendly forms that were familiar to them and supported their professional learning, such as conditional knowledge, sharing of repertoires of representations, presentation of classroom contextual information, and shifting to the teacher’s perspective. Based on these findings, several implications were drawn for the development of teacher materials that support the formation and growth of elementary teachers’ reading PCK.
