Abstract

The aim of this paper is portraying PCK and TPACK study by science education researchers’ perspective in 2018-2020 so that it can be used as support, theoretical background or clue for the next researcher who interested on this framework. Content analysis used as method for this qualitative study. Subjects are 25 open access articles that published in Journal of Teacher Education, Teaching & Teacher Education, and etc. The result shows PCK and TPACK still be one of urgent and loved research by three continents, they are America.
