The provision of appropriate learning materials is essential in curriculum enactment as the prescribed competences and learning method are usually advised in textbooks supplied to support its implementation. However, government-supplied textbook cannot always address schools' and students' different needs. Teachers are, therefore, required to have the skills to develop their own learning materials to meet curriculum. In Indonesia, higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and technology are required to be integrated in the teaching and learning activities of all subjects including English. It is, then, important to survey teacher's knowledge in materials development to help them acquire the required skills in developing materials in line with curriculum. This paper presents a survey study on junior secondary school teachers in Yogyakarta about their technological pedagogical content knowledge. A questionnaire was administered followed by an interview with selected teachers for further elaboration. The instrument was adapted from Schmidt et al (2009) and aimed to reveal teacher's knowledge on teaching and technology and how they apply this knowledge into materials development processes. The finding suggests aspects of teacher's knowledge that need further training and possible effective methods for their training as well as professional development design.Keywords: curriculum, materials development, teacher's knowledge

High school student achievement in economics has been predominantly characterized by low test scores, while secondary social studies preservice teachers have less formal training in economics than most other social studies disciplines. In this self-study, the instructional affordances and constraints of an experimental economics methods course are analyzed in terms of developing secondary social studies preservice and inservice teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in economics from both the instructor and pre and inservice teachers' perspectives. Two course assignments appeared to most notably develop PCK in economics, the Analysis of Economic Events and the Active-Learning, Interdisciplinary Economic Lesson. Findings suggest interrelationships exist among common content knowledge, specialized content knowledge, and horizon content knowledge for teaching economics. Implications and instructional suggestions for social studies teacher education and professional development are discussed.

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is the intersection of a teacher's knowledge of content, pedagogy, and of the context of the learning situation, including her students. Many different methods have been used by researchers to study PCK. We propose that PCK cannot be measured through one approach. Rather, it is more accurately measured by triangulating data gathered through observation of instructional events, teacher interviews, and assessments of content knowledge. This is illustrated through a case study of Maria, a paraeducator leading small group reading intervention lessons in a kindergarten classroom over a period of 10 weeks.

The aim of this study is to deepen our understanding of the practice of a lecturer in linear algebra by exploring the connections he makes between his content knowledge and his pedagogical content knowledge while working on the topic of matrices. Data were collected through video recordings of his classes and semi-structured interviews, and were analysed with the Mathematics Teacher's Specialised Knowledge model. Instances of classroom performance, supported by the teacher's own affirmations, provided evidence relating to the categories comprising the model, and enabled us to establish connections between the lecturer's knowledge, his understanding of his students' learning capabilities, and his knowledge of teaching mathematics, which together account for his classroom practice: the use of varied examples to introduce new content, the highlighting of the most salient aspects of the topic, and alerts about potential errors and difficulties. The contribution that these results could make to the training of university teachers, which would be done with the knowledge of the areas of difficulty shown by the teacher in mind, could be used to deepen other elements of their pedagogical content knowledge. The interconnections between areas of knowledge identified by the study also serve to validate the usefulness of a theoretical model for studying teachers' knowledge ; This research was financed by the COIDESO research centre at the University of Huelva, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of the Government of Spain (project: RTI2018- 096547-B-I00), and the research group DESYM (HUM-168)

Abstract
The overall goal of this study was to find out French language teacher trainees perception of pedagogical content knowledge in French language. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of all 415 French undergraduate students' in the Department of Educational Foundations, Faculty of Education and, the Department of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Arts of a Nigerian University. A total of 108 French students were selected from the population through a simple random sampling technique as the sample for the study. A likert type questionnaire with a four point scale was validated by three experts. Using the Cronbach Alpha statistic, a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained. Data was analyzed using means and standard deviation and a criterion mean of 2.50 was used for acceptance and rejection. The results show that Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is capable of developing French teacher trainees' competences in problem solving skills, erases possible misconceptions and erroneous reasoning, simulates the use of various representations and instruction of knowledge and helps in the development of proactive thinking, attitude and self-confidence. It was therefore, recommended that more methodology courses should be designed and implemented to help the trainees content knowledge as well as pedagogical content knowledge so that they can serve effectively as twenty first century language teachers.

This study aimed to prepare, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a professional development program that develops Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of teacher educators. Qualitative research methods were used. The research was carried out with 10 teacher educators from different departments. Pre- and post-interviews were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The program was found to have positive effects. Teacher educators stated that while transferring the knowledge they gained to the classroom environment, the methods they used could affect the education positively and attract the attention of students. Therefore, they planned to use the knowledge they acquired later on. They realized that with the knowledge they gained through this program, they would be a role model for the teachers of the future. At the end of the program, each participant's TPACK development was in line with their own cognitive readiness.
