Teachers' professional knowledge includes content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge and helping teachers to acquire this knowledge is a key target of initial teacher education. However, only little is known about the development of preservice teachers' professional knowledge, and about the individual and institutional conditions behind its development. In order to address these issues, tests are needed that assess preservice teachers' professional knowledge. Therefore, the project KiL aims to construct tests that examine the content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge of prospective science and mathematics teachers.
