Abstract Science Teaching Orientation (STO) is an important concept within research related to pedagogical content knowledge (PCK),which plays a key role in both the development of teachers’ professional knowledge and classroom practice. The conceptual framework of STO is clarified by sorting out the lineage of STO conceptual development. On this basis,the review mainly focuses on three themes: from the perspective of professional knowledge,the interaction between STO and PCK and the impact on the development of both are analyzed; From the perspective of classroom teaching,the relationship between STO and teaching practice is explored,and the reasons for the inconsistency between teaching practice and STO are elucidated; And from the perspective of professional development,the influencing factors and developmental strategies of STO are clarified. The research review provides useful insights into the research in the field of STO and the professional development of science teachers in China.
