The pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of nursery school teachers in teaching and learning of geometry: A review of literature

This article explores studies that investigated pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of teachers, especially those at the nursery level, in teaching and learning mathematics, specifically geometry. It represents a review of literature on what is PCK, and its effectiveness in teaching and learning of mathematics specifically geometry in early foundation of education. We discussed about what different studies found on PCK of nursey school teachers. We conclude that children at nursery level need to be taught by the experienced and more educated teachers. Also, to better assist them it is essential to provide ongoing trainings, and they should acquire PCK more effectively during their study before they begin teaching services.
