Abstract	One important consideration of an optimal teacher education is dealing with criteria of the quality of lessons' instructions. Thus, research on teachers' professional knowledge is essential as it fosters the quality of instruction. Shulman (1987) differentiates seven categories of teachers' professional knowledge, whereof three are established as the most important ones: pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge (PK, PCK, CK). The presented project develops reliable and valid instruments to test and analyze the connections between these categories of science teachers' professional knowledge in two different federal states as well as in two different school types. Findings are to be applied by universities for teacher education and for in-service teacher trainings to improve the quality of teacher education and science lessons. [The] article focuses on one important extract of the project: The development of a PCK test on the basis of empirically analyzed pupils' errors. We created a pupils' achievement test with open-ended items. The answers of 110 pupils were used to identify five categories of pupils' errors that were used to develop open-ended PCK items. Until now, we utilised the method in the field of neurobiology. In the future, this method can be transferred to other contents. (DIPF/Orig.).
