Description:
This study describes PM-PCK, a new teacher interview assessing teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for preschool mathematics. Analysis by hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) finds significant positive relationships between PM-PCK scores and children’s math achievement, suggesting the interview adequately represents knowledge needed for teaching preschool mathematics.
