Abstract

This research aims at describing the profile of high school teacher's Pedagogical Content Knowledge in learning mathematics from the perspective of teaching experience. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) covers teacher's knowledge of subject matter, knowledge of pedagogy, and knowledge of students. The subject of this research was two high school mathematics teachers who have different teaching experience. The data were obtained through interview and observation then analyzed qualitatively. The focus of this research is the novice teacher's PCK deals with knowledge of students. Knowledge of Student is defined as teacher's knowledge about the students' conception and misconception on limit of function material and teacher's ability to cope with students' difficulty, mistake, and misconception. The result of this research shows that novice teacher's ability in analyzing the cause of students' difficulty, mistake, and misconception was limited. Novice teacher tended to overcome the students' difficulty, mistake, and misconception by re-explaining the procedure of question completion which is not understood by the students. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing.
