PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge) profile of mathematics education students at Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this research was to analyze the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of mathematics education students at Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. PCK is a representation of the teacher’s Pedagogic and Professional abilities. The subjects of this study were students of the Mathematics Education undergraduate program Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta semester VI. Research data were obtained through a questionnaire instrument in the form of a Content Representation (CoRe) questionnaire accompanied by documentation. The analysis was carried out by means of a qualitative descriptive method by observing each answer and classifying each answer to determine the PCK level of Mathematics Education students at PGRI Yogyakarta University. The results showed that, in general, mathematics education students at the PGRI Yogyakarta university were still at the Pre PCK level, seen from the analysis of the objectives, concepts and pedagogical aspects. This is an indicator that it is necessary to develop modules that can facilitate students in developing PCK capabilities.
