| Abstract | A case study of four in-service biology teachers revealed the possible relationship between pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and the professional development process during a long-term course. Here we suggest a potential assertion of PCK components which enabled us to characterize a significant one: teaching strategies. Teachers in this study paid major attention to their unique teaching strategies in both their practice and their initiative development. The teaching strategies conception was found to be consistent and resistant to change. The teachers expanded their conception of teaching strategies over the course of the professional development program and developed their initiatives accordingly. We recommend that professional development designers be aware of this PCK component and find means of expanding it for better performance. |
