Abstract

Teaching about teaching is a complex process requiring knowledge about teaching as well as knowledge about teaching about teaching. We have published findings on research carried out over the last few years about teachers’ subject knowledge. This research led to the proposal of a model for thinking about subject knowledge which distinguishes between knowledge needed to pass an examination and knowledge needed to help someone else to come to know that knowledge. The first is necessary but not sufficient for the latter. This model for thinking about subject knowledge has led to proposals for similar models for thinking about other aspects of teacher knowledge and has more recently developed into a parallel model for thinking about teacher education.
