Abstract This study investigated the structure and level of 189 preservice chemistry teachers' based on quantitative research methods. Results indicated that (1) the structure of preservice chemistry teachers's PCK mainly included four components, such as KoC, KoL, KoA, KoS and had good reliability and validity; (2) there was significant correlation among the four components of PCK, and the explicit PCK teaching method was more favorable to the integration of the components than the implicit ones; (3) the level of KoS was relatively ideal, while the other three components are at medium or lower level; (4) there was a significant difference in the level of PCK under different teaching method (explicit or implicit) of PCK.
