Shulman's Framework

Shulman's Framework emphasizes the importance of teachers possessing not just subject knowledge, but also an understanding of how to effectively teach that subject. It identifies three key components: Content Knowledge (understanding what to teach), Pedagogical Knowledge (knowing how to teach), and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (integrating the two). This framework suggests that effective teaching requires a blend of these elements, enabling educators to adapt their methods to meet the diverse needs of learners, facilitating deeper understanding and retention of knowledge in students.
