There is anextensive literature base on the effectiveness of the RET model on factors related to teachers andtheir students. For example, Enderle et al. [3] investigated various constructs related to teacherbeliefs and practice (efficacy, attitude, discontentment, contextual beliefs, teacher beliefs, andpractice/inquiry) after two RET experiences with different emphases on pedagogy. Key findingsinclude the important role of teacher beliefs in effective professional development experiences,the positive effects

There’s also a need to explore the relationship between teacher PCK and K-12students’ interest levels in engineering careers. Moreover, evaluation of this type of a programcould generate best practices for developing PCK in secondary engineering teachers.
