Abstract
This paper is a part of a larger study aiming to develop pre-service teachers- pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) through lesson study in a teaching practicum. PCK is often explored and discussed within the act of teaching. Since teaching cannot be separated from planning, the successfulness of a lesson is a result of how it is planned. This paper discusses pre-service teachers- PCK in the planning of a lesson study using the Knowledge Quartet framework. Case study methodology was used. Data for this paper were collected through video and fieldnotes from four lesson study groups in two secondary schools in Jakarta, Indonesia. It involved ten pre-service teachers, five mentor teachers and two lecturers. The analysis of the data shows that foundation, transformation, and connection dimensions of the Knowledge Quartet are evident in the planning. It also shows the interconnectedness of the three dimensions.
