Pedagogical content knowledge integration – UGC NET Question

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) refers to a teacher’s ability to represent subject matter in ways that are understandable and learnable for students. It blends deep content understanding with knowledge of pedagogy,including suitable examples,analogies and explanations. The stem describes selecting examples and analogies to make complex content easier,which is a direct expression of PCK.

Option A:
Pure content knowledge involves knowing facts,concepts and procedures in a subject but does not necessarily include understanding how to teach them effectively.

Option B:
Raw content knowledge similarly refers to unprocessed subject expertise without pedagogical adaptation.

Option C:
Pedagogical content knowledge is what differentiates an expert teacher from someone who merely knows the subject,so it is the correct completion for the behaviour described.

Option D:
Administrative knowledge concerns organisational procedures,rules and paperwork and is not related to selecting teaching examples.
