Biology education reform documents emphasize the importance of teaching the nature of scientific knowledge (NOSK) and its role in developing scientific literacy. Minimal literature is devoted to the evaluation of higher education biology instructors' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching in general and for NOSK, specifically. Existing literature showed that science experts may still hold novice conceptions of NOSK as defined by the consensus view of NOSK. This dissertation described the views of NOSK held by undergraduate biology instructors and their PCK for teaching NOSK using case studies and cross-case analyses. Data sources included surveys, interviews, and teaching artifacts to triangulate the views of NOSK and PCK for teaching NOSK. I examined NOSK using the consensus view of the NOSK and PCK for NOSK using the Teacher Professional Knowledge and Skill (TPK&S) framework. In addition, I examined the role of reflective practices and developed a classification of instructors' PCK for NOSK. In conclusion, this study may provide direction for improving PCK for teaching NOSK in undergraduate biology courses.
