Pedagogic Content Knowledge

This presentation, by Ian Robertson, deals with expertise in the Vocational Education and Training sector. Robertson bases his presentation on the work of Shulman (1987) and Turner-Bisset (2001), and introduces the idea of an overarching, amalgam-like base of knowledge, which Shulman calls Pedagogic Content Knowledge, that enables expert teachers to meet both routine and non-routine situations in their teaching contexts. Much of what Robertson presents is consistent with literature found in the short list of resources I have posted about expertise in general and expertise in teaching. This short video is well worth a quick or even more careful look.
