dc.description.abstractPedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), introduced by Shulman [1], is crucial for teaching quality and student outcomes [2]. Shulman [1], [3] highlighted PCK as the key difference between a subject matter expert and an effective teacher, requiring both deep content understanding and the ability to implement effective teaching strategies. Since its introduction, PCK has been further reconceptualized and developed by several authors [4]. However, its elusive nature [5] makes it necessary to develop instruments that make it visible. Developing robust tools to measure PCK is essential for improving teacher education programs. This study details the development and validation of a rubric designed to measure the PCK of preservice primary teachers. The development of the PCK rubric followed a systematic process involving several key steps. First, a comprehensive review of existing literature on PCK and related assessment tools was conducted. This review provided a foundation for identifying the key dimensions of PCK relevant to preservice primary teachers. Based on the literature review, the critical components of PCK were identified, including curricular knowledge, knowledge about students, knowledge about teaching strategies, and knowledge about assessment. For each dimension, specific performance criteria were established to capture the range of preservice teacher capabilities. The rubric's validation involved several phases to ensure its reliability and validity. An initial version of the rubric was reviewed by a panel of education experts, whose feedback guided the refinement of criteria and descriptors. The revised rubric was subsequently pilot tested with a sample of preservice teachers, using two different instruments for assessment: i) CoRe (Content Representation) [6], which requires preservice teachers to select and justify key ideas essential for teaching a specific topic; and ii) lesson plans, specifically for a one-and-a-half-hour lesson on the respiratory system for third-grade students. The topic was chosen based on its familiarity to students, its abstract nature, and its inclusion in the Portuguese curriculum [7]. Inter-rater reliability was assessed by having multiple evaluators use the rubric to score the same set of teaching artifacts. The consistency of scores across different raters was analysed to ensure the rubric's reliability. The validation process indicated that the PCK rubric requires further refinement to serve as a valid tool for assessing PCK.pt_PT
