Qualitative methods dominate, with limited use of quantitative tools or standardized rubrics. Research is geographically concentrated. Emerging trends include increased focus on topic specificity, integration of pre- and in-service teacher perspectives, and growing application of the Consensus Model and Refined Consensus Model (RCM). The review highlights a need for methodological innovation, including the development of comprehensive evaluation tools and greater use of technology to support PCK research.
