Development of a Pedagogical Content Knowledge test of chemistry language and models

In 1986 Shulman developed a typology of teachers' professional knowledge. Since this, research on teachers' professional knowledge, especially on the measurement of professional knowledge, has increased. Measuring teachers' professional knowledge requires tests which focus on specific knowledge types and subjects. However, there are only few professional knowledge tests analysing teachers' pedagogical content knowledge of using models and chemistry language in chemistry classes. The following article describes the development of a pedagogical content knowledge test for chemistry teachers, which focuses on teachers' pedagogical content knowledge regarding the handling of models and chemistry language. As a result the test measures the intended construct reliably.
