Fostering Pre-service Teachers‘ Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Psychology: Development and Evaluation of a Learning Module

Beitrag aus Krämer, M. & Imhof, M. (Hrsg.). (2024). Psychologiedidaktik und Evaluation XV. Shaker Verlag In our pursuit of enhancing pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in psychology, we developed a “Teaching Psychology” module to equip pre-service vocational school teachers with essential skills to teach psychology effectively. This paper outlines the module’s objectives, content, and design and presents the findings from our evaluation study. We compared PCK in psychology and psychology teaching self-efficacy (i.e., teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching psychology as a subject) between students who did and did not participate in the “Teaching Psychology” module. Results showed that the intervention group excelled in both areas. https://www.shaker.de/de/site/content/shop/index.asp?lang=de&ID=8&ISBN=978-3-8440-9673-6 unknown publishedVersion
