This research attempted to describe and investigate the development of
Pedagogical Content Knowledge(PCK) by the in-depth analysis of the cognitive
and affective changes that a novice art teacher had experienced through the first
year of teaching. Using the methods of narrative inquiry, this study focused on
examining the process of PCK development as well as on finding art teaching
competency, which would emerge from the actual interaction with the school
context and students. In order to look closely at novice teacher’s experiences in
school, data collection had been conducted over 2 years through in-depth
interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. As the result, the
novice teacher’s narrative on the first year’s adjustment was re-constructed based
on the concept of 3 dimensional space of narrative. Three dimensions used to
describe the process of participant’s PCK development consisted of time, place,
and interaction. These factors, involved in the novice teacher’s experience of
learning to teach, would have implications on art teacher preparation programs.
The significance of this study could be found in the sense that it shed light on
teacher’s actual experiences and voice.
