Abstract:
This study aimed to uncover the pedagogical knowledge of faculty members
in the Faculty of Education at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University
according to the students’ perspectives. The researcher used a questionnaire
that consisted of 31 items covering three dimensions: content knowledge;
students’ characteristics knowledge; and pedagogical knowledge, and applied
it to a random sample of 405 students who were enrolled in the second
semester of the academic year 2016/2017 from the College of Education at
Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University. The obtained results showed that
the students believed that faculty members had a low level of pedagogical
knowledge in all aspects. In light of the study’s results, the researcher
recommended conducting a meditative training workshop in order to develop
the college members’ pedagogical knowledge as well as conducting related
comparative studies.
