Abstract
It is assumed that school-related content knowledge, as knowledge about connections between academic and school mathematics, is necessary for high-quality mathematics teaching at secondary level. Nevertheless, research on how teachers use this knowledge in action is lacking. In this study, we investigate the use of elements of comprehension (EoCs) as an indicator of school-related content knowledge in teaching situations. As part of a feasibility study, we analyzed video sequences of three pre-service mathematics teachers in short teaching simulations on the concept of limits of sequences. The occurrence of EoCs could be coded intersubjectively reliable, and the observations were in line with the participants’ knowledge assessed prior to the study. We discuss the further potential of the approach for research on teacher knowledge.
