Abstract

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is pivotal in advancing social sciences education by combining deep subject expertise with effective teaching practices. This paper explores current trends and best practices in developing and applying PCK, such as project-based learning, flipped classrooms, and service learning. It examines challenges including limited professional development, inadequate resources, and resistance to change, and identifies future directions such as leveraging advanced technology, fostering interdisciplinary approaches, and expanding community partnerships. By addressing these barriers and embracing emerging opportunities, educators can enhance instructional quality and student engagement. This study highlights the importance of continuous refinement and adaptation in teaching strategies to meet diverse student needs and prepare them for a dynamic world.
