ABSTRACT

The core literacy-oriented basic education reform requires students to have the ability to cope with complex problems. Accordingly, elementary generalist teachers, who are positioned as excellent teachers, need to possess interdisciplinary pedagogical knowledge. The components of interdisciplinary pedagogical knowledge for primary generalist teachers include interdisciplinary content knowledge (interdisciplinary pedagogical orientation knowledge, interdisciplinary pedagogical context knowledge, and knowledge about student understanding) and interdisciplinary pedagogical knowledge (interdisciplinary pedagogical strategies knowledge, and interdisciplinary pedagogical evaluation knowledge). The analysis of the pre-service training program was conducted in School Y in southwestern China.
