The subjects and their contents comprising the curricula for secondary science teacher
education should be selected/organized to assist pre-service teachers to gain understandings of
knowledge ba ses and to help them acquire professional teaching competences. However, the
nature of science teacher education has not been reflected on the Korean science teacher education
programs. The research was performed to review the literature on teachers\' competencies
including PCK(pedagogical content knowledge), teaching as profession, curricula or programs for
secondary science teacher education, and, based on the results, to suggest curricular subjects and
their contents for secondary science teacher education in Korea. The research emphasizes that the
subjects and their contents for secondary science teacher education should be developed by the
use of PCKg(pedagogical content knowing), TPCs(teacher professional constructions),
CoRe(content representation) and PaP-eRs(pedagogical and professional-experience repertoires) as
constitutive units, depending on the subject areas or contents. Also suggested in this research are
the knowledge bases assumed to be necessary for the development of secondary science teachers\'
professional qualities, which include general sciences, enrichment sciences, general science
education, science education curricula and evaluation, facilities and resources for science
education, teaching practices, research in science education.
