Abstract

There is a need for a comprehensive conceptual framework outlining engineering integration pedagogical content knowledge (EIPCK) to address the need to effectively integrate engineering into K-12 education. The aim of the study was to introduce a conceptual framework for pedagogical content knowledge focusing on engineering integration. The components of EIPCK were determined through a comprehensive review of prior literature on pedagogical content knowledge. The resulting EIPCK framework has four domains (engineering content knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge, engineering integration pedagogical knowledge, and contextual knowledge) and five components (1- Knowledge of Orientation to Teaching Engineering, 2- Knowledge of Engineering Integration Curriculum, 3- Knowledge of Students' Understanding of Engineering, 4- Knowledge of Engineering Teaching Strategy, and 5- Knowledge of Assessment in Engineering). We hope that the EIPCK framework will contribute to future research and curriculum design efforts with a focus on teacher education and professional development.
