Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate secondary science teachers’ PCK components and subcomponents that are specific to online and offline learning environment. Data collection consisted of survey, class observation, and individual interviews of twelve science teachers. This study used a theoretical framework of PCK for deductive data analysis and articulated codes and themes through the following inductive analysis. Data analysis revealed that each of PCK components showed different specificity to the online and offline learning environment. And subcomponents of each PCK component were different according to the specificity of the online and offline learning environment. Teaching orientation toward science had a specific orientation for the online learning environment, i.e., ‘learning science concept’ and ‘lecture centered instruction.’ Knowledge of the science curriculum had online-offline mixed learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., ‘reorganization of curriculum’ and online learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., ‘development of learning goal’ and ‘science curricular materials.’ Knowledge of science teaching strategies had online learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., ‘topic-specific strategy’, ‘subject-specific strategy’, and ‘interaction strategy’ and COVID-19 offline learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., ‘topic-specific strategy’ and ‘interaction strategy’. Knowledge of student science understanding had online learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., ‘student preconception’, ‘student learning difficulty’, ‘student motivation and interest’, and ‘student diversity’ and COVID-19 offline learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., student learning difficulty’. Knowledge of science assessment had online-offline mixed learning environment specific knowledge and online learning environment specific knowledge, i.e., assessment contents and assessment methods for each.
