| Abstract: | One set of measures of the quality of courses for the preparation of science teachers stems from the perceptions exit students
have of their knowledge with respect to that teaching. The Discipline Review of Teacher Education in Mathematics and Science
surveyed these students late in 1988 on three broad types of knowledge-science content knowledge, curriculum knowledge, and
pedagogical knowledge. Some of these findings of the Review are described. In addition, the base for developing items to measure
these three types of knowledge is discussed in this paper. The variety in the data that emerged is also presented and the
consistency of the findings with other measures of quality is described.
