      abstract = {The research was conducted to explore the perception of the pedagogical content knowledge of physics teachers on the academic performance of the students in Ankpa local government area of Kogi State.. The study population will include sixty five(65) Physics teachers and one thousand two hundred(1200) physics students in the secondary schools within Ankpa Local Government Area. The population used was ten (10) physics teachers and 100 SS I students in ten (10) secondary schools in the Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State. To direct the study, four(4) research questions were put. The research design was the Observational Schedule of Physics Teachers Pedagogical Content Knowledge (OSPCK), and Questionnaire on Effect of Physics Teachers Pedagogical Content Knowledge on students academic performance in physics (QEPTPCK) designed by the researcher collected the data. Arithmetic mean (x) and standard deviation (S.D) were used in the analysis of data collected to respond to the research questions. The results of the research showed that pedagogical content knowledge and physics teachers content knowledge had great influence on the academic performance of the students. It was suggested that among others Physics teachers should be motivated to participate in regular professional development programs that improve their pedagogical and content knowledge. The innovative methods and strategies of teaching can be offered to teachers through workshops, seminars, and training.},
