This study examined the design and implementation of practicum courses in teacher education by developing a five-stage model named Teaching Practice Informed by Students’ Learning Performance. After the implementation of the courses, the study analyzed how teacher education students (TESs) applied and transformed their content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in teaching practice in order to identify the overall patterns in the application and development of their teaching knowledge. Seventeen TESs enrolled in a Teaching Practicum course participated in four instructional cycles in junior high school classrooms. This study collected data from preinstruction lesson plans, classroom observation and discussion records, and revised lesson plans. Document analysis was conducted in accordance with the READ (ready materials, extract data, analyze data, and distill findings) process by applying analytical criteria focused on CK, PK, and PCK. The findings revealed that the TESs could use CK to identify their students’ conceptual learning difficulties. However, they mainly relied on PK or general teaching techniques when providing feedback and completing lesson revisions, with limited transformation of content understanding into PCK in practice. This pattern indicates that in teaching practice, TESs’ professional development involves a transition from identifying young students’ learning difficulties to connecting content analysis with instructional responses, and they require further instructional support to do so. Considering these findings, this study suggests that practicum courses in teacher education can support TESs’ PCK development by encouraging TESs to use student learning evidence and guiding them to connect students’ learning difficulties with content analysis; this can enable TESs to more easily integrate CK and PK during teaching practice. |
