Lee Shulman

Lee Shulman is an educational psychologist best known for developing the concept of "Pedagogical Content Knowledge." This idea highlights that effective teaching requires more than just knowing a subject; it also involves understanding how to teach that subject effectively to diverse learners. Shulman emphasized that good teachers integrate their deep knowledge of the subject matter with an understanding of students' learning processes and teaching strategies. His work has influenced teacher education, helping to improve how future teachers are trained to connect content with effective, student-centered teaching methods.
