The crucial aim of teacher education is to prepare successful teachers who are capable of bringing about the required behavioural changes in students. The quality of teaching is determined by the features of teaching learning process made in the classroom condition. So the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of geography teachers must improve their teaching learning activity. This kind of device has not available in such condition. So the investigator decided to construct and standardize the PCK measuring tool for geography teachers. In this paper researchers describe the procedure they have attained in construction and development of a tool to measure the PCK of geography teacher, teaching in Bengali medium school in West Bengal. The final form of tool was consisted with 37 items, which are multiple types with four alternative optional feedbacks. Content validity index and reliability of the tool has made also.
