and creative thinking poses difficulties because some learners may excel beyond
others, leading to subjective judgments about competence levels. .......................... 14

, 1. In your own words, use literature/studies to describe the concept of
‘pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)’. Please incorporate the PCK diagram
to provide more clarity to your description. Pedagogical Content Knowledge
(PCK).
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is a key idea in education that outlines the
unique understanding required for teachers to teach their subjects effectively. It goes
beyond simply knowing the subject or teaching methods on their own, highlighting
the combination of profound knowledge of the subject with the ability to teach it
effectively. This concept underscores the importance of teachers not just being
experts in their subject area but also possessing the skills to convey that knowledge
in ways that resonate with students.……………………………………………………
