| چکیده مقاله |
| The notion of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) has been considerably studied in science education. Despite its contextual nature, scant attention has been given to exploring PCK constituents of language teachers who are working in different settings. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the PCK subdomains among Iranian EFL teachers who are working in public and private sectors. The participants were eight in-service EFL teachers (four working in each sector). The qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews and field notes. The collected data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results revealed the contextual essence of EFL teachers’ PCK in the Iranian context. In addition, the findings indicated that public-sector teachers emphasized on the knowledge of curriculum as the most important element of PCK while private-sector teachers highlighted the importance of knowledge of strategies and students as two main subareas of PCK. Finally, practical implications and suggestions for future research are offered . |
